Kurt Linge

Kurt Linge (born September 24, 1900 in Heidelberg , † October 28, 1978 in Karlsruhe ) was a German engineer who dealt with refrigeration technology. He was a professor of mechanical engineering and thermal engineering as well as manager of the machine laboratory at the Technical University of Karlsruhe .

Kurt Linge studied mechanical engineering in Karlsruhe and Danzig . In 1924 he became assistant to Rudolf Plank at the mechanical engineering laboratory in Danzig , whom he followed to Karlsruhe in 1925. Here he received his doctorate in 1929 and completed his habilitation in 1933 with a study on "Controlling the state of the air in cooled rooms". After a brief activity as a private lecturer, he took on a leading development position in the field of refrigeration technology at the Borsig company in Berlin. After the war he returned to Karlsruhe and became associate professor in 1946, professor for mechanical measurement technology and heat engineering in 1958 and manager of the machine laboratory. Under the difficult conditions of the post-war period, he rebuilt the machine laboratory, which was so important for studying mechanical engineering. He then planned the new construction of the machine laboratory and the Institute for Heating and Air Conditioning Technology, of which he was director from 1962 until his retirement in 1968. In 1976 Kurt Linge received the Rudolf Plank Medal from the German Cold Association .
