Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the individual types of geothermal systems, i.e. from high-potential systems to low enthalpy systems. Then to be able to apply theoretical knowledge in proposing researches and searching for these geothermal sources. In the framework of exercise to master the selection of technologies for low-temperature areas and the design of the low enthalpy geothermal borehole exchangers.
