CPCPMS4011 - Design, size and lay out heating and cooling systems

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

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*ducting systems for air conditioning, heating or ventilation purposes in buildings Class 1 or 2 with a maximum static pressure of 0.75 kPa and a maximum velocity of 12.5 metres per second
*piping systems conveying heating and chilled water operating at a maximum pressure of 700 kPa or a maximum temperature of 100°C
*systems having a maximum output of 50 kW and total air quantities not exceeding 950 litres per second.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*principles, operation and characteristics of heating and cooling systems
*characteristics and application of different fixing and joining techniques and methods
*characteristics and application of pipe and ducting systems, including their fittings and fixture supports and fixing and joining techniques
*design concepts and performance measures for heating and cooling systems
*effective isolation processes and procedures
*electrical and electronic principles and safety requirements
*process of designing, sizing and documenting the layout of heating and cooling systems
