About the speaker(s)

Thore Oltersdorf

 

Thore Oltersdorf studied process engineering at Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg and graduated in 2004. After dedicating himself in development cooperation and policy education he started working at Fraunhofer ISE in 2006. He is a member of Group "Heat Pumps" since 2009.

His working experiences are related to executing and managing public and industrial-driven projects for vapor compression cycles (component/system development) and absorption heat pumps (esp. monitoring).

His research led to several ongoing patent filings / granted patents and publications related to evaporators, combination of heat sources for heat pumps, charge reduction and safety concepts for hydrocarbons as refrigerant. Currently the FP7 project "GreenHP" and the commissioning of ISE's new heat transformation center "Q-Trafo" absorbs lots of resources but quickens also the component development and new project activities.
