Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course objective is to make students familiar with the basic design procedures of Heating Plant equipment, manufacture and assembly of heating equipment.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge from thermodynamics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: Active attendance at seminars. The exam has written test, the student has to prove acquired theoretical and practical knowledge.
Aims
The course provides students with the basic completed heating plant and their design, used calculation methods and their operational conditions. Special attention is paid to individual procedures used in the European Union.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Active attendance at seminars is checked. The written report has to be worked out when a seminar was missed. This report has to be produced for verification.
