For research institutions, the latest developments in data evaluation and analysis software are essential tools. Large volumes of data must be evaluated quickly and efficiently to meet a wide range of requirements, and the results must be presented in a modern and clear manner. As part of an internship or a bachelor’s/master’s thesis, we are looking for interested students who have an interest and skills in the field of application-oriented software programming. Measurements taken on heat pumps or other refrigeration or HVAC equipment generate a large amount of measurement data that needs to be processed. Open-source tools available on the market, such as Python, KNIME, or Grafana, offer a wide range of possibilities for use. Your task will be to support us in the implementation and use of these tools in our daily work processes by developing customized small programs for automated data analysis (evaluation according to various requirements and standards) that we can use in our day-to-day operations.

Programming skills

The main division of refrigeration and heat pump technology at ILK Dresden focuses on cold vapor processes. To this end, individual components (compressors, heat exchangers, valves) are measured and further developed. In addition, processes and system configurations are also investigated. The results are intended to help cooperating industrial companies improve their products. These projects can be supported as part of student work. The topics presented below only provide a rough outline of the tasks. Depending on the type of student work (internship, coursework, thesis, etc.), the assignment will be individually tailored and adapted. Applications not sent to this email address will be automatically deleted after 14 days.
