This diploma thesis deals with design and implementation of complex software system for post-production of popular music. The system was implemented as a plug-in module in C++ language using JUCE application framework. The emphasis was on creating a well arranged and intuitive graphic user interface. The plug-in provides a set of audio effects and processors that can be connected into the desired graph structure. For less experienced users, there is a database of preset configurations usable for a variety of input signals.

This master thesis deals with ignition systems which are used in cars vehicles with gas engines and also with setting of the best moment of ignition of gasoline-air mixture in cylinders of engine. Ways of gas injection at diesel engines and their control systems are also described in this thesis. Next chapter deals with control unit and describes main actions which are necessary for today’s motor vehicles. As illustration is used example of succession of actions which are necessary for calculation and setting regular value of pre-ignition. At the end is shown animation, which can be used for practice lessons in a subject Automobile Electric and Electronic Systems as a example. It will simplify understanding of described activities which are all accomplished by central control unit. For purposes of laboratory lessons is in this thesis also discussed measuring of engine performance with changes of parameter of central control unit.

This master’s thesis deals with theme of turbocharger seals. The aims of a thesis are to compare a turbocharger seals used in PBS Turbo turbochargers and to describe a testing of a seals. Principle of turbocharging and types of turbocharger are described in fist part. Next point of the thesis is describing of a face seals and non-contacting seals. The main part of the thesis describes kinds and reasons of seals testing; also contains comparison between labyrinth seals and piston ring, comparison of seals of PBS Turbo’s turbochargers and assesses the impact of turbocharger angle on the tightness of the seal.

The aim of this Diploma thesis is a description of gas heat pump (GHP) technology and the possibility of their usage in real life. Also units from the major manufactures of GHP units in the Czech Republic and abroad are evaluated from technical and economical point of view. The thesis as well includes a part where is decided if it is better to further develop GHP units with higher or lower performance. In the last part of thesis are cooling circuits designed for both lower and higher performance, than performance of existing GHP unit Polo 100. As a result, the units with higher performance are more perspective. Therefore heat plate exchangers, which serve as a condenser and an evaporator, are designed for unit with higher performance.

Diploma thesis deals with direct cooling systems in food processing plants. The work focuses on the description of the components of the refrigerant cycle, with emphasis on the choice of refrigerant. The result is a design of direct cooling system in the food factory in the variants with refrigerant R404A and R717. The work describes the advantages and disadvantages of various options. The work includes an experimental section which deals with the measure-ment and processing of the actual values of the refrigerant cycle and the comparison of two cold sources.

V súčasnosti sa kladie veľký dôraz na znižovanie produkcie emisií, čistotu a kvalitu životného prostredia. Tieto trendy sa týkajú všetkých odvetví, tak isto aj stavebného priemyslu a vykurovania budov. Doposiaľ bolo najrozšírenejším typom vykurovania spaľovanie fosílnych palív. Do popredia sa však dostávajú tepelné čerpadlá a začínajú zaberať výrazný podiel trhu. Kvôli dopytu po tepelných čerpadlách vzrastá počet výrobcov a konkurencia. Cieľom výrobcov je zvyšovanie účinnosti tepelných čerpadiel a zároveň znižovanie výrobných nákladov na dosiahnutie lepšej pozície na trhu. Predložená práca sa zaoberá procesmi prebiehajúcimi v chladivovom okruhu tepelného čerpadla. Skúma správanie chladiva počas kondenzácie a možnosti zvýšenia účinnosti tepelného čerpadla. Zvýšenie účinnosti je dosiahnuté podchladením chladiva počas kondenzácie na zvýšenie tepelných ziskov. To je dosiahnuté zaradením druhého elektronického expanzného ventilu za kondenzátorom. Táto technológia je však finančne náročná. Práca sa zaoberá výpočtom kapiláry na základe praktických meraní, ktorá bude zadržiavať chladivo v kondenzátore a bude plniť podobnú úlohu ako expanzný ventil. Následne sú porovnané výsledky jednotlivých meraní. Výsledky sú porovnané voči jednoduchému systému, kde nedochádza k podchladeniu chladiva. V závere práce je analýza výsledkov jednotlivých systémov.

This thesis describes the design of cooling ice rink. Cooling system design is based on a physical nature, measured data and observations from practice. The result is a proposal cooling system with the highest possible cooling factor, which uses waste heat for technology needs snow pit and hot water, in order to achieve the lowest cost of operation ice rink.

The compressor for air supply to the fuel cell stack is a critical component of the balance of plant, especially for mobile applications. The main requirements of the compressor are the performance regarding pressure ratio, mass flow and efficiency at minimal size and weight. The turbo compressor technology is ideally suited to cope with these requirements. The lifetime requirement and the necessity of oil and particle free air supply advised to employ air bearings. The fuel cell air supply requirements are in conflict with the turbo compressor pressure ratio and mass flow characteristics. Possible solutions and their impact onto compressor design and fuel cell operation are described in this paper. The chosen system design approach considering all design aspects and its interactions during the design phase is beneficial in order to achieve the most lightweight and efficient air supply system for fuel cells. Experimental validation of an air bearing turbo compressor for a 100 kW fuel cell stack on an aerodynamic test rig verifies the predicted performance.
