For experienced refrigeration engineers who need a recognised level 2 qualification we are offering a ‘Fast Track’ City and Guilds 6090-21 in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump (RACHP) Systems.
These courses are scheduled on demand, so to register your interest please contact us now!
Held over a shorter period of 8 weeks, this is only suitable for experienced engineers who already hold an F Gas 2079-11 qualification as a minimum entry requirement.
For those new to the industry we recommend the 10day Service, Maintenance and Installation which includes both the City & Guilds F Gas 2079-11 and 6187-21 Copper Brazing qualifications.
Objective
To achieve the City and Guilds 6090-21 Level 2 Diploma in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump (RACHP) Systems.
Methodology
Teaching methods will include presentations, discussion and theoretical work will be assisted by the use of extensive study notes. Practical work will take place on real systems where appropriate and be supported by site based work.
To achieve the diploma candidates will need to successfully complete all the elements.
Synopsis
The Level 2 Diploma comprises of the following compulsory units:
- Unit 201- Principles of welfare, health and safety in RACHP environments. Introduction and awareness of H&S regulations, including risk assessments and method statement write ups.
- Unit 202 – Scientific principles in RACHP systems. Mathematical calculations and measurements working in RACHP environments. Unit includes gas laws, thermodynamics, pressure-enthalpy diagrams and pyschrometrics, properties of refrigerants, lubricants and materials used in RACHP industry.
- Unit 203 – Vapour compression systems. Understand the operation and function of a vapour compression systems. Covering components, characteristics of line and pipe systems, the environmental impact and conditions that affect system performance.
- Unit 204 – Service, maintenance and repair of RACHP systems. Troubleshoot and repair RACHP systems using modern diagnostics technology. Learners will need to retrofit energy efficient equipment, retro-fill new, low GWP replacement refrigerants.
- Unit 205 – Install and commission RACHP systems. Includes jointing methods, system components, fixing pipework and insulation methods.
- Unit 206 – Electrical systems (single phase) for RACHP. Fundamental electrical practices & Standards BS7671. Use of test instruments and Safe Isolation. Understand how to test circuits and fault find.
