| Module Description: |
To examine the processes involved in the mechanical services of buildings, including, heat transfer, heat exchange, cooling, energy systems, air quality and filtration. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Calculate heat transfer rates from conduction, convection and radiation. |
| LO2 |
Compare heat exchange rates for a range of heat exchangers, and heat recovery systems. |
| LO3 |
Examine the operation and environmental impact of heat pumps, refrigeration and other cooling systems. |
| LO4 |
Categorise the requirements and mechanisms for air particulate control in clean room environments. |
| LO5 |
Calculate the change in properties during a range of psychrometric processes. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
