- Knowledge Broadening
Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences students who have successfully completed this module will have a broad and integrated knowledge and understanding of techniques in heating and air conditioning technology and for chillers and heat pumps. Students have a critical understanding of the scientific and technical methods required for the development of systems and components and can evaluate the results with regard to the underlying requirements.
- Knowledge deepening
Students have extensive scientific and technical knowledge which they can apply to special applications in the field of heating, cooling and air conditioning technology. They know the components of these systems, can combine them for different requirements, calculate the overall processes and evaluate optimization options. They are able to assess the design of a heating, cooling or air conditioning system and make evidence-based, qualitative and quantitative judgments on its use.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module use various standard and advanced procedures, methods and engineering guidelines to obtain and process system-relevant data. They prepare this data, generate results using suitable calculation methods and present them in a structured manner. The information and results obtained are applied to heating, cooling and air conditioning systems to be designed.
- Application and Transfer
Students who have successfully completed this module carry out application-oriented practicals in small groups, in which they examine the structure and functionality of relevant components and systems in detail and work together to develop and implement solutions for specific applications. They are able to balance and evaluate the components and systems based on the measurement data.
