Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish heat loads for commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning applications.It includes determining heat loads for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications using quick selection, short-form paper and computer-based 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 heat loads for commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning applications
  • 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 commercial refrigeration/air conditioning work
  • 1.3 Extent of heat load analysis is determined from project specifications and discussions with appropriate person/s
  • 1.4 Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with other person/s involved in commercial refrigeration/air conditioning work
  • 1.5 Effective strategies are determined to ensure solution development and implementation is carried out efficiently in accordance with workplace procedures
2 Determine heat loads for commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning applications
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out commercial refrigeration/air conditioning work is followed
  • 2.2 Specifications of commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning system operating parameters are applied when performing heat load estimations
  • 2.3 Parameters, specifications and performance requirements in relation to commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning system are set in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Appropriate approaches to determine the heat loads are carried out to provide most effective solutions
  • 2.5 Unplanned events are dealt with safely and effectively consistent with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
  • 2.6 Work quality is monitored in accordance with performance agreement and/or workplace or industry standards
3 Complete and report heat loads for commercial refrigeration and /or air conditioning applications
  • 3.1 Heat load estimations are documented, including details of findings, calculations and assumptions, in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.2 Completed heat loads are submitted to appropriate person/s to be checked for accuracy and compliance with project specifications and evaluated to determine whether performance requirements are met
  • 3.3 Heat load estimations are reported to relevant person/s to determine appropriate action to be taken based on findings
