Air conditioning systems (5 cr)

Objective

1. You know various air conditioning systems, the components of systems and the indoor climate levels, which can be created by these systems
2. You know different air conditioning processes and master their thermodynamic calculation
3. 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
4. You master the main principles of air distribution
5. You know the key elements of ventilation effectiveness, as ventilation and capture efficiency
6. You know the Finnish national building codes of ventilation and fire safety
7. You master the basics of fire safety and know how to apply fire safety to the design of air handling and ventilation systems.
