Lectures

Goal

Acquiring knowledge and skills in the field of central heating - hot water two-pipe systems with natural and forced circulation of hot water, hot water one-pipe systems, steam heating system of low pressure, air heating, panel heating, district heating, solar systems, mastering the methods for calculation of pipe network.

Outcome

Students acquire specific skills and knowledge of central heating systems: knowledge of different heating systems, known methods of calculation of central heating systems and can apply them in practice. Connects basic knowledge and apply it to solve concrete problems in the technique of heating.

Theoretical teaching

Two-pipe hot water central heating pump systems, pipe heating system; correction of surface heaters, heating steam low pressure, upper and lower divorce; Steam traps, condensate return to boiler; calculation of pipe networks, heat transfer by radiation; panel heating systems, heat transfer from the budget tube, through multi-layered plate, the surrounding air, underfloor heating, air heating, ventilation chamber and its components, industrial ventilation, remote distribution of heat; characteristics of district heating, heat transport distance; substation for direct and indirect connection; heating sliding diagrams, renewable energy sources, active and passive use of solar energy and geothermal energy.

Practical teaching

Auditory exercises consist of parts: pipe sizing for two-pipe hot-water network system with natural and forced circulation of water in the system and facilities 90/70oC to prepare and distribute hot water, and to individual work of reference. Lab exercise - testing thermal properties of heaters; temperature impact on the heat output of radiators; influence of the flow rate to heat output of radiators; behavior of heaters in non-stationary conditions (visit the exhibition of thermal engineering in the Congress of HVAC or visit the factory).
