Learning Goals
The students will be able to participate in the selection of the various equipment used throughout the wine production process. It is also intended that students acquire the knowledge to participate in the design of wineries, regarding the spatial distribution of various oenological equipment as well as issues related to environmental control and specifically with aspects related to energy efficiency.
Contents
• Design of wineries. Layout of processes.
• Oenological equipment (fermentation, storage, stabilization, reception equipment, presses, cooling tunnels).
• Cooling equipment. Cold applications in oenology. Estimated cold power.
• Energy consumption (in the vineyard and) in the winnery.
• Energy efficiency (in the vineyard and) in the winery.
• Environmental control of different areas of the winery. Thermal insulation and ventilation.
• Monitoring, control and automation systems.

Teaching Methods
Classroom teaching based on theoretical-practical classes. For some classes of specific topics, external experts may be invited.
The frequency assessment is based on two written tests (40% each) and group work (20%) realised along the semester, and the examination regime in a written test with the whole course.
