Complete solutions for test systems from a single source
Interview Jörg Kildau,
Head of Project Management / Deputy
Head of Business Area Plant Engineering
Why is turnkey facility construction by weisstechnik® worthwhile?
Planning a test facility requires in-depth knowledge in all technical and commercial areas – from the search for a suitable location to the technical execution and the drafting of contracts with suppliers and companies. Here we can relieve our customers of a lot of work with our complete packages. This saves them time and money and keeps them confident with their test facility.
Which customers do you serve in facility construction?
We have several mainstays. One focus is on automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, for whom we realize many large-scale projects. This experience also helps us with test facilities for fuel cells. We also have customers in the aerospace, defense, ICT and electronics, pharmaceutical, biology and medical technology, as well as materials testing and textiles sectors. Our systems are used in research and development departments, in production and in the quality assurance of companies. They are also used by universities and colleges, testing institutes, and monitoring organizations.
What has to be considered when building test facilities for fuel cells?
Hydrogen is highly volatile and highly explosive. Therefore, test chambers must meet the highest safety requirements. To create a flexible platform for this, we are working with TÜV Rheinland to develop a modular and scalable test chamber concept for complete vehicles with fuel cells. The technical safety concept includes hydrogen detectors, the avoidance and safeguarding of ignition sources, the calculation of air exchange rates, and specifications for the permissible tank level during the test.
