From January 7th, 2013 to January 17th, 2013, the Master 2 (class 2013) course "Geothermal Energy Technology_Part II" will be taught by lecturers from La Sapienza-CIRPS.
The general introduction of this course is as following:
Lecturers:
- Dr AlessandroRonconi (week 1)
- Prof EnricoPandeli, Dr Sauro Valentini (week 2)
Duration: 2 weeks
Introduction to the Course:
This Course provides anintroduction and technical applications in Low Enthalpy Geothermal Systems
Course Aims: The aims of this Course areto:
- Improve the knowledge of the geothermal applications in the Low Enthalpy Systems (direct and indirect uses of geothermal heat);
- Increase skills in the design and development of Low Enthalpy Systems (e.g. ground source heat pumps);
