PRESENTAZIONE

The course deals with HVAC for small pleasure yachts and sails

OBIETTIVI E CONTENUTI

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI

L'insegnamento fornisce agli studenti le nozioni sui principi di funzionamento degli impianti HVAC e sui relativi sistemi, con particolare riguardo agli impianti installati sulle imbarcazioni da diporto.

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.

PREREQUISITI

There are no specific requirements 

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.
