PRESENTAZIONE

The course deals with HVAC for small pleasure yachts and sails

OBIETTIVI E CONTENUTI

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI

The unit provides students with concepts of HVAC operating principles and relevant systems, with particular concern to the systems installed on the pleasure crafts.

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI (DETTAGLIO) E RISULTATI DI APPRENDIMENTO

The students, practising with the calculation of the size of the components for a small climatization system, will develop the capability of looking critically at the projects for chiller and fan-coils systems, for small yachts.

MODALITA' DIDATTICHE

The educational activities are organized into 48 hours of theoretical classes.

Part of the course will deal with the preliminary design of a chiller & fan coils system for a small pleasure yacht or sail.
