Retrofit and modify air conditioning and HVAC systems

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Prepare to retrofit system

1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.2 Retrofit information, manufacturer specifications, and relevant code of practice are accessed and interpreted

1.3 Type of refrigerant is determined according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements

1.4 Retrofit options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected

1.5 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.6 Retrofit tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

2. De-gas system

2.1 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

2.2 Refrigerant is recovered into appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinder for the refrigerant type

2.3 Oil recovered is measured to determine replacement volume

2.4 System is evacuated according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements

3. Retrofit system

3.1 Technical information relating to vehicle or machinery being retrofitted is accessed and interpreted

3.2 Air conditioning retrofit modification procedures are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements

3.3 System is pressure tested for leaks before being re-gassed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements

3.4 System is re-gassed with appropriate refrigerant gas and lubricating oil according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures

3.5 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

4. Complete work processes

4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and the vehicle or machinery is presented ready for use

4.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected

4.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures

4.4 Australian Refrigeration Council accredited (ARCtick)service decal sticker and other required workplace documentation are completed and processed according to workplace procedures
