Course title:
|
Refrigeration systems and components
|
Lecturer(s):
|
Prof. Trygve M. Eikevik, Prof.II. Petter Nekså, Prof.II. Jostein Pettersen
|
Recommended previous knowledge:
|
Basic knowledge within thermodynamic and heat pumping
processes and systems
|
Description:
|
The course will give a detailed insight in refrigeration
plants for cooling, freezing and gas processing. This include analysis of main
components like compressors, evaporators, condensers and control systems;
system solutions and mode of operation; design of main components; and
application of environmentally friendly working fluids. Heat exchanger
design, compressor types and operation characteristics, and optimization of
components and systems are also handled. The course will cover applications
within the energy sector (heat pumps), food industry (cooling, freezing and
drying) and gas industry (liquefied gases).
The course will be adapted to the project work of the
participating students.
