Entry Requirements:

<span”>All candidates must have completed Technology 1 and Electrical 1 Courses.

Objective:

This course represents the intermediate aspects of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required by all persons wishing to work in the air conditioning and/or the refrigeration fields. This course forms the second stage and as such is imperative that all persons complete the course. Technology 3 and the diploma course follow. The course has a full theory and practical component in our accredited workshop.

Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course the student will have the understanding of the intermediate aspects of refrigeration and air conditioning. Superheat measurement, setting and the importance there of, sub-cooling, LP and HP Pressure switch setting determination and actual setting on an installation, Basic refrigeration commissioning techniques and procedures. Types of refrigeration systems, Types of air conditioning systems, evaporative coolers, air conditioning components, heating, Critical charging, compressor testing, fault finding, drives and couplings. Student have the opportunity to further their studies. The range of study progresses through air conditioning and refrigeration to and including large central plants.
