Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to install refrigeration/air conditioning systems in commercial, industrial, marine and transport applications in accordance with all relevant Commonwealth, state or territory legislation and regulatory requirements. Work is undertaken using new or existing internal or external locations and sites and footings, foundations, beds and frameworks are completed prior to installation. This unit should not be selected with unit MEM10006 Install machine/plant.Where extensive fitting and alignment are required then see the following units:MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering componentsMEM18009 Perform precision levelling and alignment of machines and engineering components Where modifications involve electrical disconnection and reconnection see unit MEM18049 Disconnect/reconnect fixed wired equipment up to 1000 volts a.c./1500 volts d.c. A Refrigerant Handling Licence must be held by any person who carries out work in relation to refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Measuring equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

lasers

dumpy levels

Relevant standards include one (1) or more of the following:

Australian Standards

building codes

air conditioning/refrigeration standards

local authority standards

environmental standards

greenhouse emission regulations

Refrigeration/air conditioning plant and equipment/components include one or more of the following:

compressors

evaporators

condensers

valves

controllers

fans

solenoids

sensors

thermostats

switches

recorders

Routine modifications/alterations include one (1) or more of the following:

fitting of spacers

relocation of brackets

alignment of holes

Appropriate action includes the following:

in accordance with urgency requirements to address equipment failure and/or personnel danger

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
