  1. Combustion research at LTH Marcus Aldén, Förbränningsfysik,LTH

  2. Why do we study combustion processes ? For the Society: Energy: Combustion stands for >80 % of our energy-utilization Environment: (Combustion stands for >90% of NOx, >50 % SOx, particles, CO2) For the Industry: Increased competitiveness (lower emission, increased efficiency) For the Academy: Outstanding academic challenge Strongly multidisciplinary Influences on individuals Domestic heating (50 % of our houses is heated by combustion processes) Transportation (car/truck, aero, boat) Unwanted fires (~10 billion SEK/år, 150 casualties)

  6. Major Combustion activities at LTH • Centre of Competence in Combustion Processes, since 2006 a Centre in Combustion Engines • Host for a national Centre, CECOST • National Graduate School • One of 18 Strategic Centres initiated 2006 by SSF • Equipment; from DESS (~20 MSEK-burner), from Wallenberg (~14 MSEK -optical instrumentation) • European Large Scale Facility since 2001, renewal recommended June 2005 (negotiations taking place) • New Building, the Enoch Thulin Laboratory, inaugerated 2001 • Resources: Human brains >100, equipment ~140 MSEK

  7. New FTC building Lund High pressure Burner Facility
