Description: 
This institute was founded to do research in thermodynamics. Work 
has been conducted in developing pulse control circuits, a semiconductor 
thermometer, a differential logometer, piezoelectric indicators, and air- 
cooled condensers. Phenolic laminates have been developed for blades of 
rotary compressors and vacuum pumps. Tests have also been conducted on 
honeycomb plastics.

Description: 
The Institute concentrates primarily on the improvement of water- 
treatment methods used in various industries. Their studies have included 
purification of the return water for cleaning top gases in blast furnaces 
and treatment of the refuse from alcohol and oil production. Some research 
has also been performed on the synthesis of ionites and anionites with 
specific properties. Investigations of plastic concretes for use in 
water-resistant buildings have been conducted recently. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy and has a Ukrainian branch.
