Gold Package - Cat I & II. Suitable for: This course is aimed at engineers working within the refirgeration industry who will require certification in category I & II. This qualification is accredited by City & Guilds and is designed to enable refrigeration engineers to meet legal requirements in relation to the qualificatins required to work with Fluorinated Greenhouse Gasses, otherwise know as F Gasses. The F Gas Regulations have been put in place by DEFRA to help EC countries meet the Kyoto protocol targets.

Course programme

In order to gain C&G 2079 – F-Gas Certification (Category I)- Level 2 Award in F-Gas and ODS Regulations:candidates will need to pass a theory test and a practical assessment

Preparation and Assessment Package:

  1. “Gold Package” - includes the online preparation theory training course + C&G 2079 theory and practical assessments: £425

Registration & Certification fees of £60 and VAT are additional to the above price.

Enrolment

The process works in the following way:

  1. Candidates fill in the enrolment form
  2. Access to the online course for the preparation of the theoretical part will be granted so candidates can undertake whenever ready, at their own pace, from home or work. It contains the theoretical knowledge required to prepare for the actual C&G 2079 theory test in a summarised, understandable and easy to follow format – packed full of interactive content, animations and a glossary of terms. Finally, three different banks of questions including more than 20 questions each will test candidates' understanding of the theory.
  3. When ready, the candidate will sit both the C&G 2079 theoretical test (1 h and 20 minutes) and the practical assessment (up to 4 hours) at their local brach: Aberdeen, Bristol, Derby, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Oxford.

City & Guilds 2079 – F-Gas Certification

What is involved in the practical assessment?
For Categories 1 and 2 the candidate must provide evidence of ability to:

  • Identify states of refrigerant i.e saturated, superheated, sub-cooled
  • Identify common refrigerants
  • Carry out safe brazing techniques
  • Charge refrigerants
  • Carry out leak testing
  • Pressure test
  • Evacuate systems
  • Select appropriate PPE
  • Maintain appropriate records

What is involved in the theoretical assessment?

· Units of temperature, pressure, mass density and enthalpy

· Basic theory/thermodynamics including basic vapour compression cycle, states of refrigerant, refrigerant blends and operating conditions

· Monitoring system performance for indications that leakage has occurred

· Knowledge of climate change and the Kyoto Protocol

· Equipment records/commissioning data requirements

· Identification potential leakage points of refrigeration/air conditioning and heat pump equipment

· Handling, storage, transportation and disposal of contaminated refrigerant and oil

· Functions of and reports on the state/condition of expansion valves and capillary tube restrictors

· HCFC gases and potential for Ozone depletion

· Hazards associated with release of refrigerant gases

Theory Training Course

Regarding stationary refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump equipment for Cat.I & II Certification.

Areas covered in this module:

  • International System of Units
  • Vapour Compression Cycle
  • General characteristics of zeotropic blends
  • Protocols and Regulations
  • Maintaining records
  • Refrigerant handling hazards
  • Quiz (3 different banks of questions)

Module Aim

To prepare Category II engineers for the new updated F Gas qualification.

Topic Objectives

By the end of this module you will be able to:

  • Describe the International System of Units (SI) applicable to the refrigeration industry.
  • Explain reasonable operating temperature differences for condensers and evaporators.
  • State the four stages of the basic vapour compression cycle, and describe their structure and function.
  • Explain the relationship between pressure and temperature, and its effect on the heat transfer properties of a refrigerant.
  • Explain how heat is transferred during the evaporation and condensation stages of the vapour compression cycle.
  • Define the terms sensible heat, latent heat, subcooling and superheat.
  • Explain how the phase change of zeotropic fluids is different to standard single substance or azeotropic blend refrigerants.
  • Describe the characteristics of zeotropic refrigerants.
  • Explain how key international Protocols and Regulations directly affect the refrigeration industry.
  • Describe the functionality, advantages and disadvantages of components used in refrigeration/air conditioning systems.
  • List the contents required in plant/system records.
  • Describe the hazards associated with handling F Gas refrigerants.
  • Explain the precautions to be adopted when handling different F Gas refrigerants.
