Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After passing the course the student

  • understands the concepts of ventilation and air-conditioning
  • knows the most common ventilation and air-conditioning systems and their features
  • can calculate the thermodynamic properties of moist air
  • can calculate air flow rates on the basis of given criteria
  • knows the ventilation ductwork sizing methods (e.g. static regain)
  • can choose the supply air flow rate and temperature for a displacement ventilation system
  • can calculate the unit processes and size the components of an air-conditioning system
  • can analyze the operation of an air-conditioning system in practical problems
  • can employ classical control algorithms in the control of air-handling processes
