PREREQUISITE TRAINING Prior to refrigeration production, to obtain the Category I Refrigerant Handling Certificate Module 1: “Refrigeration Technology”
CERTIFICATE OF CAPACITY, BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATION No. 112299
Objective
- Learn the procedures for working on refrigeration systems in accordance with regulations.
Program:
– Temperature scales.
– Units of pressure.
– Units of energy and power.
– Heat.
– Heat transfer (how to move heat).
– Pure substances and changes of state
– Evaporation to increase heat transfer efficiency (sensible/latent heat).
– Pressure-temperature equilibrium relationship for refrigerants
– Service bypass configuration. Evaporation/condensation cycle
– Parameter measurement, analysis, and assessment. Components essential for operation
– Leak detection and refrigerant recharge for the cycle
– Expansion valve adjustment. Cycle energy balance.
– Pressure switch adjustment.
– The need for fluid containment.
– Use of service valves.
– Installation of the service bypass.
– Pressure measurement during shutdown, verification of the pressure-temperature relationship.
– Measurement of parameters on a system in operation.
Removal of the service bypass.
Analysis of results.
– The expansion valve and evaporator (evaporation temperature, superheat, operation and adjustment of the expansion valve).
– Compressors (piston, scroll).
– The condenser (condensation temperature, influence of refrigerant charge).
-Circuit accessories (filter drier, sight glass, solenoid valve, reversing valve, pressure switches, etc.).
– Return of the fluid to the cylinder.
– Procedure
– Partial test of the circuit

Monitoring procedures:
The program is based on teaching methods that focus on individualized instruction.
We have chosen an educational strategy aimed at:
Tailor learning paths by offering each individual a personalized program,
Foster autonomy by empowering our trainees to take ownership of their learning,
Develop a culture of technology by integrating all components, including those related to workplace safety,
Cultivate professional attitudes, methods, and rigor.
Course phases and individualized case studies are validated by the lead instructor through collaborative work in small groups.
Practical training phases are evaluated individually by the lead instructor, who records the results in a skills portfolio.
Supervised time for tutorials and practical work is also scheduled to prepare for the certification
A computer lab is available for preparing the internship and workplace activity report, which is required to pass the CAP MV.
