Description | ||||
Employability Skills | ||||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to repair and service secondary refrigeration systems.It includes maintaining the effective and efficient operation of refrigeration equipment using non-phase changing secondary refrigerant systems. It also includes applying safe working practices, utilising service manuals and refrigeration principles to test and perform maintenance operations to these systems and to locate defective components and repair faults, and completing reports on service and performance outcomes.The skills and knowledgein this unit will be applied by refrigeration and air conditioning technicians during the service and repair of secondary refrigerant systems.The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, skills and knowledge described in this unit require a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship. Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to refrigeration, air conditioning or electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations. Permits may also be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation. | |||
