Assessment Requirements for MEM23147 Contribute to the design of hydronic systems

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM23147A Contribute to the design of hydronic systems.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include:

identifying and interpreting drawings, client requirements and specifications appropriate to the design task

implementing work health and safety (WHS) procedures and practices including the use of risk control measures

demonstrate the use of software tools related to designing a hydronic system

contributing to the design of a hydronic system on at least two occasions including determining performance aspects of the systems, sizing pipes, selecting optimum pump performance, minimising system friction losses and selecting major components and materials using manufacturer data

communicating technical and procedural requirements to others

dealing with unexpected situations

documenting technical information and designs in accordance with procedures.

Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

WHS requirements

appropriate personnel to consult

principles of fluid flow

system operating parameters

pump performance and selection

pipe sizes

valve performance and selection

pressure loss and static head calculations

calculating system (static and dynamic) head

optimum pump selection

environmental requirements

organisational procedures

resource and equipment requirements

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in contributing to the design of hydronic systems at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
