Helmut Eichlseder

Helmut Eichlseder is a Professor at Graz University of Technology, directing the Institute of Thermodynamics and Sustainable Propulsion Systems. His research focuses on hydrogen combustion engines, fuel cell systems, and thermal management optimization.

Key research areas include:

• Hydrogen engine emission aftertreatment
• NOx reduction strategies
• Thermal management co-simulation for BEVs and FCEVs
• Piston-bore interface optimization
• Efficiency enhancement in sustainable propulsion systems

Recent publications highlight trends in hydrogen engine efficiency (50% BTE), catalyst deactivation mechanisms, and advanced cooling designs using water spray injection. His work addresses both automotive and non-road mobile machinery applications.

He maintains a teaching authorization in internal combustion engines and operates from the institute's premises at Inffeldgasse 19/III, Graz. Contact: helmut.eichlseder@tugraz.at
