Description: In the laboratory for environmental measurement technology, laboratory practicals as well as smaller research projects are carried out.

When setting up the laboratory, the emphasis was placed on measurement methods for the determination of gases and aerosols in emission and immission measurement. The setups for practical experiments are partly didactically designed experimental setups, but for the most part they are commercial measuring devices for emission and immission measurement with different measuring principles.

The laboratory has a dust channel in which dust measurement in an industrial stack can be simulated under defined conditions (type of dust, concentration and flow velocity) using different measurement methods.

A measurement setup for emission measurement of the limited pollutant components of combustion engines (CO, NOx, hydrocarbons and particulate matter) is used in practical tests and research projects. In cooperation with the Laboratory of Power and Working Machines of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, pollutant and noise emissions of industrial diesel engines were investigated when using biofuels.

The following experiments can be performed in the practical courses:

  • IR absorption of gases, limits of the law of Lambert-Beer
  • Gas filter correlation
  • FTIR spectrometer
  • Measurement of NOx and ozone (UV photometry, chemiluminescence measurement and gas phase titration)
  • Measurement and size analysis of nanoparticles with the SMPS
  • Dust measurement in flowing gases (gravimetry, light scattering, tribolelectricity)
  • Determination of soot number with hand soot pump and scattered light photometer
  • Emission measurement on combustion engine
  • Olfactometry
