Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to retrofit system
- Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
- Retrofit information, manufacturer specifications, and relevant code of practice are accessed and interpreted
- Type of refrigerant is determined according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements
- Retrofit options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected
- Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
- Retrofit tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
- De-gas system
- System de-gas procedures are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or system
- Refrigerant is recovered into appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinder for the refrigerant type
- Oil recovered is measured to determine replacement volume
- System is evacuated according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
- Retrofit system
- Technical information relating to vehicle or machinery being retrofitted is accessed and interpreted
- Air conditioning retrofit modification procedures are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
- System is pressure tested for leaks before being re-gassed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
- System is re-gassed with appropriate refrigerant gas and lubricating oil according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
- Post-modification testing is carried out according to workplace procedures and test results are checked to confirm system performance is operating to manufacturer specifications, reported pre-modification issue has been resolved, and no other faults are present
- Complete work processes
- Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and the vehicle or machinery is presented ready for use
- Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
- Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
- Australian Refrigeration Council accredited (ARCtick)service decal sticker and other required workplace documentation are completed and processed according to workplace procedures
