Aims
Giving the students a good understanding of and thorough insight into all important aspects of thermal systems, energy control and the general issue of energy. The aim is to reasonably thoroughly study, analyse and evaluate the operation and the performance of refrigerators, to apply pinch technology and to critically analyse and describe the global behaviour of integrated thermal systems . The students should also be able to obtain good insight into the backgrounds and motivations of the energy issue. Students should be able to estimate and critically evaluate the possible 'solution's in the energy-technological and energy-management field.
Previous knowledge
The course is open to students with a thorough knowledge of thermal engineering, such as Technical Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Turbomachines. Knowledge of electrical energy is an advantage.
Preliminary conditions:
None for Bachelors of Applied Sciences and Engineering: Mechanical engineering and students of the Master of Energy.

3.0 ects. Thermal Systems (B-KUL-H05W6a)
Content
1. Refrigerators:
- Thermodynamic principles
- One-stage refrigerator
- Refrigerants
- Simulation and design
- Multi-stage refrigerators
- Absorption refrigerator
- Dry air refrigerator
- Air liquefying processes
2. Pinch Analysis
3. Exergy-analysis and exergo-economics
4. Thermal power plants and CCS (carbon capture and storage)
Aims
Giving the students a good understanding of and thorough insight into
all important facets of thermal systems. The aim is to thoroughly study, analyze and evaluate the operation and performance of refrigerators, combined heat and power installations and thermal power plants on the one hand and the global behaviour of integrated thermal systems on the other, through among others pinch analysis and exergetic analysis.
