Subject syllabus

Subject continuously builds and expands on the knowledge of the subject Ventilation and Air Conditioning I., it is dedicated to the big box objects in terms of civil construction, sport, production and special applications in the design of air conditioning. Students will learn the theory of cooling cycles, the principles of ventilation and cooling of buildings, as well as with different cooling systems, refrigerants and heat transfer agents. The emphasis is on economic and energy issues of the proposal itself refrigeration equipment and interaction with the object solved in terms of microclimate.
