Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to fault find and repair industrial refrigeration systems.It includes working safely and to legislative, industry standards and code requirements; using effective problem-solving techniques by applying knowledge of the components and operations of industrial refrigeration systems; completing work and documenting solutions. The skills and knowledgein this unit will be applied by refrigeration and air conditioning technicians during the service and repair of industrial refrigeration systems.To undertake this unit, the learner must have a Trainee Refrigerant Handling Licence as it includes work on refrigeration equipment that carries the risk of a fluorocarbon refrigerant being emitted.The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a national Refrigerant Handling Licence as it includes work on refrigeration equipment that carries the risk of a fluorocarbon refrigerant being emitted while decanting the refrigerant or manufacturing, installing, commissioning, servicing, maintaining or decommissioning refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. 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.
