Overview

This unit covers the determination of basic operating conditions of air conditioning systems. It encompasses working safely, determining air temperature, air flow rates and relative humidity using measurement and basic calculation methods.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Evidence shall show an understanding of basic air conditioning operating conditions, applying safe working practices and relevant Standards, Codes and Regulations to an extent indicated by the following aspects:

T1 The Air Conditioning Industry

  • industry classifications;
  • applications and typical equipment used in each classification, and;
  • types of systems commonly used.

T2 Working safely with air conditioning systems

  • risk management principles and processes, and;
  • hazards and risk control measures associated with air conditioning systems and components and measuring and testing equipment.

T3 Temperature & relative humidity measuring devices

  • thermometer types and applications;
  • relative humidity measurement devices and applications;
  • hazards and related safe working practices;
  • care and maintenance;
  • calibration;
  • typical locations where values are commonly obtained;
  • obtaining temperature and relative humidity readings, and;
  • recording temperature and relative humidity readings.

T4 Air velocity measuring devices (Anemometers only)

  • anemometer types;
  • typical applications for each;
  • air speed;
  • air flow rate;
  • methods for setting up and using anemometers;
  • hazards & safe working practices;
  • care and maintenance (maintaining vane balance;
  • calibration requirements;
  • typical locations where air velocity measurements values are commonly obtained;
  • obtaining and recording air velocity readings, and;
  • calculating volume flow rate from an outlet/grille.
