This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate, inspect and monitor condenser and auxiliary cooling systems.
Auxiliary cooling systems deliver cool water or air, as required, to reduce the heat from plant and equipment in power generation facilities. The condenser is used to change gas to liquid by cooling it.
Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, operate condenser cooling system plant, test condenser cooling system plant, analyse condenser cooling system plant faults, monitor and inspect condenser cooling system plant and the completion of all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision, in a power generation facility as an operator.
Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
