Freisleben, Vít ; Turek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the design of technological modifications of the existing industrial unit „waste-to-energy“, used for thermal treatment of process waste gases containing VOC and CO while flue gas is produced. The main objective of the existing unit modification is to improve its operating parameters considering economy, ecology and energy utilization. In the first part, the current industrial plant was presented with all necessary process data. Furthermore, all the key equipment used for the waste gases treatment or for the utilization of waste heat was identified. In the main part of the thesis there are performed modifications of the existing unit including the technology of existing heat exchangers intensification, the design of new and more efficient heat exchangers and finally the catalytic oxidation technology implementation for the decomposition of pollutants contained in the waste gas. The result of the thesis is a technical, economic and ecological comparison of the proposed technological modifications with the existing operation.

Heat recovery
Dužík, Vojtěch ; Rubinová, Olga (referee) ; Počinková, Marcela (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to theoretically, practically and experimentally explore different ways of waste heat utilization in the building industry. The work is divided into three basic passages. In the first part I analyze the theoretical nature of the various physical processes in recovery and is there a practical use. More emphasis is placed on heat recovery from wastewater, as I am using this way of recuperation in other parts of this diploma thesis. In the second point, I apply the use of heat from waste water when designing a technical solu-tion for the reconstruction of the heating system of the clinic. The design is solved in two variants. The first suggested location lokali- them, recuperative, shower exchanger operation rehabilitation, bath and massage. In the second variant, central recovery is envisaged using a heat exchanger in the accumulator well and water-water heat pump. Based on the technical and economic evaluation, the first option was selected. The second variant is ineffective and remains only in the case study. In the last section, I experimentally investigate the thermal efficiency and the relative savings of the heat exchanger, which is designed in the first variant of the second part. Measurement, processing of results and evaluation I made for laboratory conditions and for real conditions with the showering person. Finally, I appreciate the eco-nomic benefits of this facility.

Power Plant Units Cooperation - Optimization of Operating Parameters
Hromádka, Martin ; Wasserbauer, Vojtěch (referee) ; Mastný, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis aims to describe the principle of operation of thermal power plant as well as to describe the issues related to increasing the efficiency of production units. Another task was to create a mathematical model of cooperation of power plant units. The thesis also deals with the fundamental issues of power distribution as well as deals with the functioning of the electricity system in Czech republic. In this thesis there are also calculated two sample examples of two parallel cooperated units. In the first example, the optimized electric power is not outside of the control range but in the second, the optimized electric power is outside of the range. So there are two types of the calculations. As a part of the thesis there was made a mathematical model. The mathematical model based on the specified demand load in the network optimizes the eclectic power of three cooperating parallel units. This should lead to the fact that the operating costs will be minimized. In the model there is also a complete calculation of specific consumption and thermal efficiency. The reader of the thesis is able to do these calculations in five possible options.
