There is a need for Thermal Process engineers experienced in:

  • Sustainable energy production and consumption
  • Exploiting renewable energy sources like wind, solar and bio energy
  • Developing energy-efficient systems and products for various applications
  • Maintaining Denmark’s leading position within the area of energy.

5th semester: Design of energy systems

The objective of this semester is to design and simulate a thermal energy system. A steady state model of a specific system is set up and compared to experiments or data for existing systems.

Project examples:

  • Modelling of a complex ventilation or pump system
  • Analysis and modelling of a combined heat and power plant
  • Implementation of low temperature district heating and cooling
  • Design and modelling of a combined solar power and heat pump system

6th semester: Thermo mechanical energy systems

The objective of this semester is to provide knowledge about the construction of flow machines and components used in thermal energy systems. As a result of overall analysis, limitations due to the dynamic interactions on these systems are to be outlined. Environmental issues in relation to the thermal systems are to be considered.

Project examples:

  • Design, construction and test of a vertical axis wind turbine
  • Design, construction and test of a pump impeller
  • Design, construction and test of devices for passive ventilation
