Summary

The course follows up and expands knowledge of Ventilation and Air-conditioning I. The course is devoted to large hall objects in terms of civil construction, sports, production and special applications in the design of air-conditioning. Students will learn the theory of cooling circuits, the basic principles of ventilation and cooling buildings, as well as with various cooling systems, refrigerants and heat transfer agents. The emphasis is on economic and energy issues of the proposal itself refrigeration equipment and co-designed with the object in terms of microclimate. • Psychrometrics; • Theory of cooling circuits; • Heat balance for the cooling of buildings; • Exhaust systems heat and pollution, technological operations; • Ventilation of boiler-rooms; • Refrigerants, their properties, and the current requirements for them. Heat transfer substances, environmental protection, legislation; • Space cooling, airflow, civic buildings; • Ventilation of swimming-pools and wet areas; • Ventilation of clean rooms, filtration; • Parts of the system - water cooled chillers, cooling towers; • Principles of design cooling machine-rooms; • Energy balance of ventilation systems; • Alternative methods of mechanical cooling - Passive cooling, night cooling, free cooling, ground exchanger; • Operational requirements, maintenance and operation of HVAC equipment.
