Heat pumps have an outdoor and an indoor unit. The outdoor modules are vulnerable to theft theft; they are only insured to a limited extent. To prevent theft a component was developed: the "wachgans". The wachgans contains:

  • Tilt sensor - change in position is detected
  • Warning indicator - preventing theft is optimal
  • Tamper-proof design - theft is is made more difficult
  • Self-power supply - self-sufficient energy management
  • Monitoring app - warning is reported
  • GPS tracker - device tracking if necessary

Upcycling natural rubber as an insulating material

Katharina Leuthner (15 years)

South Württemberg Student Research Center (SFZ)    
Schülerforschungszentrum Südwürttemberg (SFZ)    


This insulation is produced by processing discarded rubber mattresses into granulate, which is then bonded with a biological adhesive component. This creates a mass that can be shaped in many ways.
Applications are, in loose form, blow-in and bulk insulation, in fixed form, among others, pipe insulation. In comparison with insulation materials already on the market, both variants show good thermal insulation properties.
The U-value of this insulation for a 2 cm insulation layer is 0.8135 W/(K*qm).

Sustainable composite material

South Württemberg Student Research Center (SFZ)    
Schülerforschungszentrum Südwürttemberg (SFZ)  

 

This insulation board is made of either cellulose from paper production or wood dust residues from wood processing together with caseins from milk processing and a hydrogen carbonate.
The application area is the insulation of house walls. For this purpose, the insulation boards can simply be screwed together. 
Their U-value for a board thickness of 2cm is 0.4567 W/(K*qm).
