Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to determine noise and vibration encountered in heating, ventilation and air conditioning/refrigeration (HVAC/R) applications.It includes measuring sound, noise and vibration encountered in HVAC/R systems. It also includes working safely, using problem-solving procedures, applying appropriate theorems and providing interpretations derived from measurements and calculations and justification for such interpretations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare HVAC/R system to determine noise and vibration encountered in application
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied
  • 1.2 WHS/OHS risk control work preparation measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 1.3 Nature of the problem is obtained from documentation or from work supervisor to determine the scope of work to be undertaken
  • 1.4 Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.5 Sources of equipment and products required for HVAC/R work are established in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out HVAC/R work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Determine HVAC/R application noise and vibration measurements
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 2.2 Need to test or measure active HVAC/R systems is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and conducted in accordance with workplace safety procedures
  • 2.3 HVAC/R systems are checked and isolated in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Relevant technique or process methods are used to determine noise and vibration measurement encountered in HVAC/R application
  • 2.5 Unexpected situations are dealt with safely in accordance with workplace procedures and with the approval of authorised person/s in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
  • 2.6 Measurements are taken without damage to HVAC/R apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices with minimum waste and re-work
3 Document HVAC/R application noise and vibration measurements and calculations
  • 3.1 WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 3.2 Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Justification for alternative approach to determine noise and vibrationmeasurements is documented and appropriate person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Work completion is documented and appropriate person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
