PROFESSIONAL AND RESEARCH ACTIVITY
University of Düsseldorf , Institute of Physical Chemistry
Working position: Research Associate
Duration: 01.10.1977 - 31.12.1980 (3 years and 3 months)
My professional and research activities included the provision of work in the
laboratories of Physical Chemistry, particularly in:
Laboratory of IR – UV, IR- FT and NMR Spectroscopy.
Laboratory vacuum technique, coupled with adsorption phenomena and gas
chromatography.
Laboratory of thermochemistry and calorimetry
(using Differential Scanning
Calorimetry).
Participation
in
the
research
program
"Catalysts
(Katalysatorspektroskopie)
Project coordinator Prof. Dr. E. Baumgatren

Spectroscopy"
Company: HAWART GmbH Tönisvorst (Germany)
Working position: Director of the Research and Development
sector
Duration: 01.01.1982 - 01.06.1986 (4.5 years)
The main objective of this work was the development of technology of batteries of
energy in the form of latent heat
This research project has been carried out in collaboration with the University of
Düsseldorf (Prof. Dr. E. Baumgatren and Prof. Dr. R. Kniep) and with the
participation of Dr. F. Reiter's of the Research Center ISPRA in Italy.
The results of this work led to the development of new means of accumulating heat
and vested with the Patent DE 3431978.
These instruments used especially in dynamic storage heaters in low temperatures
and formed the basis for further research and development of other means of
storage.
Furthermore, the technical study and development of a storage heater conducted in
accordance with the HAWART Company's technology (Patent EP 0079452).
The overall research project “Latent Heat Accumulator" of the HAWART Company
won the first prize in the International Patent Exhibition in Hanover (1983).
