Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to analyse the thermodynamic performance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning/refrigeration (HVAC/R) systems.It includes analysing HVAC/R systems and providing solutions to thermodynamic performance issues. It also includes working safely, gathering and analysing thermodynamic performance data, applying problem-solving techniques, and developing and documenting results and solution/s.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to analyse thermodynamic performance of HVAC/R system
