For our Institute of Low Carbon Industrial Processes in Cottbus we are looking for

Data analysis and experimental operation of a high-temperature heat pump

What to expect:

At the DLR Institute of Low Carbon Industrial Processes, innovative methods are being developed to decarbonize high-emission industrial processes. A large proportion of the emissions are caused by burning fossil fuels to generate process heat. Therefore, the institute is developing high-temperature heat pumps that can generate process heat of up to 350°C from electricity. The Cottbus Brayton heat pump (CoBra) has been in operation since May 2024. In the course of 2024, various tests will be carried out to analyze the operating range of the system. The system will also be used to test various control concepts. Around 100 measured values such as temperatures, pressures, mass flows and control variables (valve position, motor speed) are recorded during operation.

• post-processing of measurement data using Python
• support and protocoling during measurement campaigns
• assistance and preparation of experimental work in the testing facility

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
