Learning outcomes

After finishing this module the student:
  • derives states, state magnitudes as well as phase transitions from a log p-h diagram and  T-s diagram
  • draws a circuit process of a given cooling configuration and vice versa in a log p-h diagram
  • calculates different cooling configurations from cascade  to economizers, etc.
  • knows how to improve the COP
  • calculates different configurations of steam installations
  • describes how adsorption coolers function and when they can be applied

Content

Cooling technology is a collection of technical solutions to cool objects or  to keep them cool by means of extracting heat at a certain area and to relieve that heat at a different area.  Cooling technology is widely used in various branches like the food industry, HVAC but also liquefying natural gas. This module mainly focuses on compressor cooling (and heating). Besides compressor cooling  absorption cooling is considered.
