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 Techniques
    Pipework 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
