Technical Presentations | 14:00-17:15 h

BImSchG processes –
Accelerated approval procedures with German authorities

Eva Maria Schmitz
Müller-BBM Projektmanagement

14:00 - 14:45 h | Large hall

Based on current legal developments, practical approaches, and administrative measures, dedicated ways and strategies for accelerating immission control approval procedures will be presented. 

Industrial acoustics – changes in the past decades

 

Stephan Heim
Müller-BBM Industry Solutions

14:00 - 14:45 h | Small hall

From noise as an annoying by-product of industrialization to acoustics as a strategic factor for efficiency, health, and innovation, the presentation traces a journey through the history, present, and future of industrial acoustics.

Nearfield sound radiation calculations using the example of a bypass stack
 

Steffen Lautenbach, Dirk Hinkelmann
BBM Akustik Technologie, Müller-BBM Industry Solutions

14:45 - 15:30 h | Large hall

Using the example of a bypass stack, the methodology and results for sound propagation calculations in the near field are compared using simple analytical models and CadnA.

The future of measurements: The influence of new technologies on measurement systems
 

Jens Strunk
Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme 

14:45 - 15:30 h | Small hall

Cloud computing and artificial intelligence are changing measurement technology. They automate processes, increase efficiency, and simplify complex measurement tasks. The presentation shows how new technologies specifically support and accelerate the entire workflow – from measurement to reporting.

“We should be happy if the air were as pure as the beer” (R. Weizäcker): Air pollution control in Germany, models & measurements

Dr. Alexander Ropertz, Henning Beuck
Müller-BBM Industry Solutions

15:45 - 16:30 h | Large hall

Fundamentals of air pollution control in Germany – a practical overview of important instruments for air pollution control. We take you on a journey through emission and immission measurements and into the world of forecasts.

Keep a cool head: Thermal comfort in office buildings


 

Calvin Sliwanski
Müller-BBM Building Solutions

15:45 - 16:30 h | Small hall

Temperatures that are too high or too low impair well-being and performance in the workplace. This presentation highlights how thermal comfort can be ensured in office spaces and what requirements current regulations and laws stipulate in this regard.

Good sound makes you work better – acoustic comfort in (office) spaces
 

Felix Beckmann
Müller-BBM Building Solutions 

16:30 - 17:15 h | Large hall

High noise levels are not only a problem for employees in production halls or on construction sites; there is also a risk of increased exposure in offices. Based on current regulations, common acoustic problems and effective countermeasures in typical office spaces are highlighted.

Planning, manufacturing and site assembling of noise protection components in power plants

Stefan Schmiedel
BBM Akustik Technologie

16:30 - 17:15 h | Small hall

Power plant and plant construction projects require a wide range of engineering, manufacturing, and assembly services. Using the example of a completed large-scale project, we present the typical products and project phases, thereby providing an overview of the range of services offered by BBM Akustik Technologie.

Müller-BBM Practical | 15:00-17:30 h

Tours through the building and all demo stations will be available simultaneously and can be explored at your own pace.

 

Noise reduction with sound enclosures

Sustainably reduce airborne and structure-borne noise

The various designs of sound enclosures are explained using a model. You will hear how airborne and structure-borne noise can be effectively reduced through dedicated planning.

Silencer insertion loss on prove

Testbench measurements of baffle silencers according to DIN EN ISO 7235

Experience the measurement of background noise in accordance with DIN EN ISO 7235. You will see the measurement preparations, the excitation by loudspeakers, the test object, the automated measurement section, and the low-reflection termination of the measurement channel.

Upstream cooling test stand

Increase of gas turbine efficiency by inlet air cooling

Everyone is familiar with adiabatic cooling, e.g., when stepping out of the shower. In industry, it increases the performance of large systems such as gas turbines in desert regions. On the test stand, we demonstrate how this effect can be measured.

It is the average nose that counts!

Olfactometry in practice: Selection of candidates for odor measurements

Learn how test persons are screened and selected for odor measurements.
You are welcome to try it out for yourself!

Continuous measurement stations

 

Typical applications and limits

Find out under what adverse conditions continuous measurement stations can be used for different purposes. For example, they can be used without a power supply, under critical weather conditions, or in areas that are difficult to access.

Where the smoke escapes: Air pollution control

 

Emission measurements air pollution control – Practical demonstrations

Experience practical demonstrations and explanations of emission measurements in air pollution control.

Connected measurements: Measurement technology reinterpreted

Synchronous data acquisition for electric drives

With the PAK live.hub data network, you can acquire electrical parameters and bus data synchronously with classic NVH data – the solution for measurement challenges in the electrification of new drive trains. Experience connected measurements live.

acoust IQ: Simplifying acoustic measurements

 

Measurably more: From sound level meters to remote solutions

We will be demonstrating the lineup of our new solution for simple acoustic measurements. From sound level meters with report generation to complete remote solutions with multiple measurement points.
