Establish the thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning 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
Registered Training Organisations
Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver UEERA0038, 'Establish the thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning systems'.
Google Links

Books
Reference books for 'Establish the thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning systems' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Prepare to determine thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning system

1.1

Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied

1.2

WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed in preparation for refrigeration and air conditioning system work

1.3

Refrigeration and air conditioning system operating conditions are obtained from documentation or work supervisor to determine the scope of work to be undertaken

1.4

Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure refrigeration and air conditioning system work is coordinated effectively with others

1.5

Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to determine the refrigeration and air conditioning system operating conditions are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety

2

Determine thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning system

2.1

WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out refrigeration and air conditioning system work are followed

2.2

Measurement of thermodynamic system operating parameters is conducted in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace safety procedures

2.3

System is checked and isolated in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures

2.4

Actual and specified range of thermodynamic parameters are determined from measured and calculated values as they apply to refrigeration or air conditioning system in accordance to workplace procedures

2.5

Unexpected situations are discussed with appropriate person/s, responded to in accordance with workplace procedures and documented in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

2.6

Thermodynamic parameters are determined without damage to apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices

3

Document thermodynamic parameters

3.1

WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
