Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will manage basic design of technical equipment network, and some more detailed information about function, planning and operating of gas and heat pipe networks.

Prerequisites

The student shall manage the fundamental hydraulics, pyhysics of heat and gases, in mathematics the count of probability and water chemistry on the secondary level. Of the point of view of building technologies and materials it is suitable, if building construction and water construction instructions go before.

Aims

Student shell get a overview about the significance of technical equipment network in the contemporary society and fundamental information about system and components of particular networks. He shall get acquainted about connections and cohesion between particular networks, and some more detailed information about function, planning and operating of pipe networks similar to those water management ones – gas and heat piping. From the constructional point of view he shell make acquaintance with building materials and principal building processes of particular networks, especially in their underground placing. Having frecuented he should be able, after some brief amendments of knowledge, to find job in gas and heat supply branche.
