Heat and refrigeration engineering

The Department of Heat and Refrigeration Engineering, a unit of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, was established on January 22, 2002. The forerunners of the Department were the Research Center for Thermal equipment and Renewable energy founded in 1986 and the Department of Fluid Mechanics – Thermal Engineering established in 1975. With a long history of development, the HRE Department currently manages the undergraduate and postgraduate programs (Master and Ph.D degrees) in Thermal Engineering. Fields of expertise include: industrial boilers, heating systems, drying machines, refrigeration and air conditioning, renewable energy, energy efficiency and saving, etc. In addition, the HRE Department also focuses on studying, designing, and manufacturing the equipment in thermal engineering and participates in many scientific activities both in the country and abroad.
