The course deals with the classic industrial energy conversion processes to useful energy (compressed air, heat, cooling) including the necessary upstream and downstream systems, the efficient operation of these systems, optimisation potentials and heat recovery potentials and systems. Legal and normative framework conditions are conveyed.
- Introduction to industrial energy
- Basic function and design of energy technology systems
- Heat exchangers
- Heat supply: Steam boilers (water treatment, boiler types, combustion chambers, combustion, flue gas cleaning), district heating
- Refrigeration systems: large-scale compression refrigeration systems, absorption refrigeration Compressed air technology
- Ventilation technology
- Energy efficiency in industrial energy technology
- Efficient plant operation
- Heat recovery
- Waste heat utilisation - extraction
- Legal and standardisation principles for the operation of energy technology systems
On completion of this course, students will be familiar with the basic energy technology systems and their application (steam generation, compressed air generation, refrigeration) in industry. They are able to identify and evaluate waste heat potentials. The students
- are able to estimate industrial energy requirements.
- are familiar with basic industrial energy conversion processes.
- know the basic waste heat potentials and can quantify them.
- are able to describe and select technologies for energy-efficient industrial processes and design simple applications.
