Modular 10 Day Air-Conditioning / Refrigeration Course (Inc. F-Gas Regulations/Pipework & Brazing)
Modular 10 Day Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Technology (Incorporating F-Gas (CITB J11) and Pipework & Brazing (CITB J05)   Crownship's industry experienced tutors provide an environment conducive to learning, supporting candidates throughout all the stages of the course.   Comprehensive air-conditioning and refrigeration workbooks and study notes enhance the learning process.   Benefits of the qualification:   On completing the programme you will have a comprehensive knowledge of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems plus CITB (J11) F-Gas Regulations and CITB (J05) Pipework and Brazing nationally recognised industry qualifications, thus opening up opportunities for employment in the air-conditioning and refrigeration industry.   The course also provides a sound base for additional air-conditioning and refrigeration qualifications:   City & Guilds 6127 Technical Certificate (Home Study) NVQ Level 2 in Air-conditioning and Refrigeration NVQ Level 3 in Air-conditioning and Refrigeration     This course is made up of 5 modules:    Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Technology Refrigeration principles. Latent and sensible heat.Basic vapour compression refrigeration cycle. Refrigerants, their properties, safe use and storage. Locate and identify system components, explain their functions. Identify abnormalities and prescribe corrective actions. Periodic maintenance and the use of cleanliness as an aid to leak detection. The importance of system monitoring. Recording of instrument readings and work carried out. Connect manifold gauges to system to aid diagnosis. Recover refrigerant/pump system down to carry out repairs. Replace faulty components as required. Electrical isolation, testing controls, control replacement. Manufacture of replacement of copper tubing as required.   Practical fault finding exercises on working refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, such as:   Blocked filter/dryers Blocked expansion valves Dirty condensers Faulty LP and HP Switches Adjusting LP and HP Switches Pumping system down to rectify faults Evacuating system using the Triple Evacuation Method   F-Gas Regulations and Qualifications (CITB J11)                        Safe Handling of Refrigerant TechniquesPipework and Jointing Skills Recovery of Refrigerants (restricted to small systems only)Intrusive and Non-Intrusive Leak and Performance Checking of Systems Leakage checks, recovery, install, service, and maintain - all Systems.   Pipework and Brazing (CITB J05)                                               This Scheme allows delegates to carry out Pipework and Brazing on a range of Industrial Refrigeration pipe sizes. The delegate will have to produce a Practical Test Piece (1" 1/8 to 1" 5/8) ,which will be Pressure Tested in accordance with the relevant European Standard and then subjected to a destructive test to ensure a leak free joint.   Split Systems                                                               Theory:  Covering site survey, regulations, basic heat load calculations, A/C equipment siting, installing pipe and cable runs, air movement and noise transmission.   Practical:  Covering wall mountings, installations pipework, making connections, insulations: leak testing, vacuums and charging, commissioning of systems and hand over.   Essential Electrics                                                                   Safe Isolations Types of Instrumentation Electrical Regulations Supply Systems Earthing Arrangements Control and Protection Equipment Terminations and Installation Practices Electrical Safety checks     Additional Course that Compliment the Modular 10 Day Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Technology (Incorporating F-Gas (CITB J11) and Pipework & Brazing (CITB J05) are:   Part P Electrics Fault Fin
