Peter Huber Prize Awarded at Achema 2018

On 13 June 2018, the ‘Peter Huber Prize’ of the Valerius Füner Foundation was awarded at Achema. As the best graduates from the years 2016 and 2017, the winners this year are Joseph Michel and Florian Theobald. Michel received the award for his Master's thesis on the optimisation and simulation of combined heat and power plants. Theobald was honoured for his work developing new models to more accurately calculate the heat transfer. In future, the development of temperature control units could benefit from this basic research.

In 2015, partnership with the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Peter Huber Kaltemaschinenbau AG introduced the ‘Peter Huber Prize’ to recognise and award the achievements of students studying mechanical engineering with a focus on energy efficiency in refrigeration, air conditioning and environmental technology. The award comes together with a €1,000 donation.
