Acquiring knowledge and skills in the field of heating technique- the impact of climate parameters and thermal comfort conditions, heating bodies, additional elements and equipment, mechanisms of heat transfer; acquiring knowledge of methods for calculation of heat losses according to different standards and use these methods when developing main mechanical project of central heating systems.
Students acquire specific skills and knowledge in heating technique: get familiar with elements of central heating systems; with heat losses calculation methods and can apply them in practice. Student can connect basic knowledge and apply it to solve concrete problems in the technique of heating.
Thermal parameters of the environment; thermal comfort conditions, characteristics of the external climate and the impact on thermal comfort conditions; calculation method for external project heating temperature; heat transfer through the building envelope construction, heat bridges, condensation, natural ventilation, wind effect on air infiltration, calculation of needed amount of heat for heating using different standards, heating equipment division, radiators and valves, types of heat transfer, heat radiators disclosure depending on the temperature of fluid; testing heaters; heating sources in central heating systems, insurance and boiler fittings, boiler room and its elements, open and closed expansion vessel; annual energy consumption calculation, the calculation of fuel consumption, different systems of central heating.
Auditory exercises consisting of several parts: heat transfer through the building envelope construction, determining the thickness of insulation, ventilation calculation of transmission and heat loss and sizing of heaters, boilers and related equipment, with the aim of making solo project task. Laboratory exercise is a demonstration - elements of the installation heating, valves, pipe insulation, thermal properties testing radiator. It is envisaged to visit the fair and techniques or factory that manufactures heating equipment.
Students are required to pass the exam "Thermodynamics B" in order to follow the course.
