Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to design new or modified hydrodynamic pumping systems across all forms of manufacturing and engineering. Designs consist of the layout, choice of motor and pumps, pipes and valves; the fluid source and delivery requirements of the system and incorporate sustainability implications, work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements.Design activities can be reverse engineering, design rectification or modifications of an existing design. It applies to pumping system designers and maintenance personnel, and those pursuing engineering or related qualifications and careers.The client may be internal or external to the designer’s organisation.Individuals completing this work either already have or are developing skills and experience in scientific principles, evaluation of hydrodynamic systems, mathematics and computer software and file handling.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Clarify the design brief and elaborate the specification
  • 1.1 Establish required features and performance parameters of hydrodynamic pumping system
  • 1.2 Confirm technical, commercial and environmental parameters of the brief or contract
  • 1.3 Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process
  • 1.4 Assess WHS, regulatory, sustainability or environmental issues relevant to the design task
  • 1.5 Confirm design brief, including budget and schedule, and provide preliminary advice on feasibility
2. Evaluate design analysis and prepare concept proposals
  • 2.1 Appraise initial qualitative and quantitative analysis of the design task
  • 2.2 Carry out required detailed modelling and calculations using appropriate software and validation techniques
  • 2.3 Generate solutions to the design brief, including choice of equipment, layout, fluid source and delivery
  • 2.4 Check feasibility and evaluate solutions against design criteria, ensuring conformity to standards and codes, technical, economic and WHS requirements
  • 2.5 Determine social and sustainability implications of solutions
  • 2.6 Present concept proposals to client
3. Design hydrodynamic pumping system
  • 3.1 Evaluate concept proposals with client and select preferred solution
  • 3.2 Ensure that design solution is optimised with respect to the system specifications
  • 3.3 Finalise selected design, comprising equipment, layout, fluid source and delivery, and other features desired by client
  • 3.4 Ensure preparation of all required documentation, drawings, specifications and instructions
  • 3.5 Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design
  • 3.6 Monitor installation and commissioning with stakeholders and make any necessary adjustments to design
