Course detail
Heating
FSI-IVTAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course deals with heating systems including heating sources and projecting of heating pipework. The course introduces the basic principles of heating systems, as hydronics, hotwater, steam and radiant heating systems. Lectures are concerned especially with central heating, radiant heating (specially radiant floor heating), heating of large-space building and district heating systems. A complex of technical solutions of the configuration of the heating system made of a heating source, distribution system of the heat medium, heat accumulation, heated area, and regulation, measurements and control is discussed. The emphasis is put on the reduction of heat consumption with the application of the appropriate modern method of heating and renewable energy resources such as solar energy.
