Course detail

Designing of Thermal Power Plant Equipment

FSI-FSEAcad. year: 2021/2022

The course is focused on two areas of energy. The first area contains heat exchangers, ie the applied issue of heat sharing. Students will learn about the types of heat exchangers, operational problems and the basic design of tubular exchangers. The second area includes the use of fuels (biomass, waste, coal, natural gas) to generate heat and power. Students will go through the energy equipment from the fuel, through the combustion chamber to the steam part of the boiler and get acquainted with the specifics of individual fuels.
