Solar Cooling Systems for Engineers and Technicians [in German] in Berlin

In this course, participants with a technical background but little or no experience of solar cooling can learn about different solar cooling technologies and their application. The course demonstrates in a practice-oriented way how to implement solar cooling systems, from planning and installation through to operation and maintenance. An introduction to the economic aspects of solar cooling completes the course.

 Course content Current solar cooling technologies Potential fields of application, including case studies Basic system schemes Components of a solar cooling system Determination of cooling needs (loads) and solar radiation (gains); sizing a solar cooling system Design, commissioning, installation, operation and maintenance Integration with existing air conditioning systems Economics of solar cooling/solar-assisted air conditioning systems Simulation of solar cooling/solar-assisted air conditioning systems Guided field trip with practical demonstrations
