On a laboratory area of about 215m² there are the following test facilities in building L for research and teaching:

• Complex energy system based on dessicant assisted air conditioning, solar heat, combined heat and power station, heat pump, chiller, thermal energy storage, condensing boiler (research project and student practical course)
• Test facility for the analysis of Phase Change Materials (PCM) (research project and student practical course)
• Test rig for investigating evaporation processes in parallel minichannels (research project)
• Test facility: Condensing boiler (student practical course)
• Test facility: Heat transfer of radial impinging jets (student practical course)
• Test facility: Natural convection at a heated cylinder (student practical course)
• Test facility: Free jet (student practical course)
