Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to determine operating conditions of air conditioning systems.It includes working safely; determining air temperature, air flow rates and relative humidity using measurement and calculation methods. The skills and knowledgein this unit will be applied by refrigeration and air conditioning technicians during the commissioning, service and repair of air conditioning systems.The skills and knowledge described in this unit may, in some jurisdictions, require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking refrigeration and air conditioning work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
