| Abstract |
Course “Advanced Energy Technologies” deal with different energy technologies and their technical and environmental performances. The energy tehnoligies and their primary components boiler, turbomachinery (compressor, turbine, pump), condenser and other heat exchangers are analyzed both in practice and thermodynamically. Models of these as well as the whole plant are made, analyzed and discussed. The construction and the functioning of various auxiliary equipments (coal mills, fans, blowers and burners) are explained. In the course possibilities to reduce emission level and increase energy efficiency is being analyzed.
