Energy-efficient renovation / New windows / Fresh paint

We are continuing to invest in climate protection: in addition to improving our indoor climate, we will drastically reduce our heating and cooling requirements in the long term by replacing all windows, from the basement to the offices to the workshop. We would like to thank Holzbau Lafrenz (https://www.lafrenz-holzbau.de/) for their excellent and speedy work. As part of the window renovation, we chose a new color and repainted all other (rather aged) surfaces accordingly. We would like to thank the painting company TIEBE (https://www.maler-tiebe.de/) for this.

Project InsiSt completed

IThe ‘InsiSt’ project, funded by the State of Bremen as part of the State Programme for the Promotion of Research, Development and Innovation (FEI) of the Senator for Economic Affairs, Labour and Europe of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, was completed this month. The aim of this project was to prove that the method for in-situ measurements of thermal conductivites improved by FIELAX is comparable to the established standard according to ASTM D5334. To this end, experiments were carried out in which so-called needle probes were inserted into the same undisturbed sample as the sensor string used by FIELAX. The measurements were carried out in different materials: 1. in water-saturated sand and 2. in water “stiffened” with gelatine.The results are currently being prepared for publication.

Technical support on FS Heincke – Test #13

On February 17th and 18th we successfully participated for the 13th time in a test cruise of FS Heincke. The FS Heincke is an AWI research vessel with an extensive range of scientific echo sounders. It has multibeam echo sounders for bathymetric surveys, acoustic current meters (ADCP) and multi-frequency sounders. On behalf of the AWI, we look after a number of these systems, which means that we take care of maintenance, servicing, user training and user support.We look after the following systems on FS Heincke:
