Design and dimensioning of AC systems (5cr)

Objective

1. You know the dimensioning of air conditioning systems i.e. to select the air handling units with components, air duct networks and terminal air devices, and to calculate performance characteristics of the fans 2. You master the main principles of air distribution and the calculation of air jets 3. You know the key elements of ventilation effectiveness, as ventilation and capture efficiency 4. You know the Finnish national building codes of ventilation and fire safety 5. You master the basics of fire safety and know which kind of air ventilation systems and fire technical products can be used in different kind of buildings. 6. You know how the basics of mechanical smoke extraction and the importance of the pressurization.

Content

*How different components of air handling units are dimensioned and selected? * Which kind of methods are used to dimension air duct networks and how pressure losses are calculated? * Which kind of air distribution methods are used and how air jets stream in different temperatures? * Which factors form the ventilation effectiveness? * How ventilation systems influence on fire safety of buildings? * How fire compartments affect the ventilation design? * How ventilation systems and smoke extract should work in the case of fire?
