This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish the thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning system.It includes determining thermodynamic parameters of refrigeration and air conditioning system using measurement and calculation methods and documenting results.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
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
  • 3.2 Worksite and equipment are cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Thermodynamic parameters are documented, including identification of any parameter that is not within the specified range for the refrigeration and air conditioning system
  • 3.4 Work supervisor is notified of work completion in accordance with workplace procedures
