So, this is not yet the Trade Test, but it is a step in the right direction. This week I was at Techniskills College to brush up on my Refrigeration skills and knowledge.
Above is me accessing a Freezer plant at the training college. The task here is to set a Pressure Stat unit to reach a setpoint, to see that the Superheat is correct and that the unit cycles on again and runs to temperature.
I managed to set this unit to 0C with a superheat of 6C and to cycle on at 2C. Which was really cool to accomplish!
I had also managed to sort out a Pump Down unit with a Solenoid and Thermostat.
In the meantime we had some books to go through and a lot of homework. The week ended with a Theory test about the Vapour-Compression cycle.
I managed an efficient 94% so I am glad to say that I am fairly competent.
Next week Monday to Wednesday I will complete the practical side of this course. In between I will try and practise some of my other tasks for the Trade Test coming up at the end of the month...
I am still really nervous...
Thanks for reading this post!
Cheers!
