20810183 - OFFSHORE THERMOTECHNICAL PLANTS

Aim of the course is training in the field of air conditioning and climate systems of off shore marine structures.
The first part of the course provides notions for the thermo-physical analysis of structures, the conditions of thermo-hygrometric comfort.
The performances of the buildings envelopes are analyzed on the basis of the estimation of the thermal loads, with reference to the regulations in force. In the second part of the course, the main notions for the design and sizing of the plants are provided in the last part of the course special plants are provided for marine technologies such as solar energy plants and desalination plants.
