CO2 Safety, System Repair and Service

Our hybrid learning program means self-paced, online modules are followed by two days of face-to face practical application and assessment at the Beijer Ref Academy, Bankstown NSW.

NEW extended content also covers refrigeration systems controls. The controls used are those most widely used industry controls, to supplement the teaching of the equipment and refrigerant. 

This course is suited to air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics looking to upskill in CO2 refrigeration systems to comply with current safety legislation.

The unit UEERA0006 – Apply safety awareness and legal requirements for carbon dioxide refrigerant involves the skills and knowledge required to apply safety awareness and legal requirements for carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigerant. It includes applying safety and legal requirements when handling, using, and storing CO2 refrigerants. The skills and knowledge in this unit will be applied by those managing, supervising, or working in or near a location that contains refrigeration equipment using CO2 refrigerant. These could include managers, supervisors, maintenance staff, cleaners, employees and refrigeration and air conditioning technicians.

The unit UEERA0066 – Repair and service carbon dioxide refrigeration systems involves the skills and knowledge required to repair and service carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration system. It includes servicing and repairing refrigeration equipment using CO2 as a refrigerant excluding self-contained trans-critical systems. It also includes applying safe working practices and refrigeration principles that apply to CO2; following service manuals; testing, locating and rectifying faults and defective components; and completing the necessary service documentation. The skills and knowledge in this unit will be applied by refrigeration and air conditioning technicians during the service and repair of refrigeration systems using CO2 refrigerant. 

Duration and Location

Self-paced online modules followed by two (2) days, delivered at the Beijer Ref Academy: 2 Kirby Place, Bankstown Aerodrome. 

Learning Outcomes

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to: Apply safe work practices in using CO2 refrigerant Follow workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control of CO2 refrigerant Service, repair and report CO2 refrigeration systems

Low GWP and Flammable Refrigerants Training

As the HVACR industry continues to move forward and innovate, the refrigerants that were once so common placed are now being phased out. Replacing them are more energy efficient, environmentally friendly refrigerants, known as Low GWP and Moderately low refrigerants. Many of these new refrigerants are classified by ASHRAE as A2L, or slightly flammable.

The industry is also seeing expanded use of some hydrocarbon (A3) refrigerants, such as propane and isobutane. HVACR technicians will require additional training for the safe handling and transportation of these refrigerants.

Training Components

UEERA0007 – Apply safety awareness and legal requirements for flammable refrigerants
UEERA0084 – Service and repair self-contained flammable refrigerants air conditioning and refrigeration systems
UEERA0048 – Install and commission flammable refrigerant air conditioning and refrigeration systems

Training Outcomes

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:

•  Apply safe work practices in handling and using low GWP refrigerant
•  Follow workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control of low GWP refrigerant Service, repair and report low GWP refrigeration systems
