Unit of Competency UEPMNT415 - Diagnose and repair faults in complex refrigeration and air conditioning equipment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and repair faults in complex refrigeration and/or air conditioning equipment, associated accessories and wiring systems.Refrigeration removes heat from an enclosed space, where air conditioning cools air and circulates it in an enclosed space. Complex refrigeration and air conditioning equipment is used to cool power generation facility plant and equipment.Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan and prepare for work, verify fault, find fault, determine cause of fault, repair or rectify fault and complete all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work as a maintenance operative, in a power generation facility. Power generation maintenance personnel are typically trained and authorised to receive permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit of competency may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace, where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional and/or other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
