Module 26: Heating and Cooling Systems (Optional)
Outcome
Explore agricultural equipment heating and cooling systems.
Indicators
(a) | Identify and follow safe work practices (e.g., check coolant temperature and pressure) when working with cooling systems, including maintaining a clean and organized work area. |
(b) | Demonstrate the proper disposal of used coolants and explain potential environmental concerns of antifreeze disposal. |
(c) | Identify the role of antifreeze in a cooling system. |
(d) | Explain how cooling systems remove and dissipate heat from engines. |
(e) | Describe the function of the components (e.g., pump, reservoir, thermostat and radiator) of a liquid cooling system. |
(f) | Compare the operation of compound cooling systems. |
(g) | Investigate common cooling system maintenance procedures (e.g., checking fluid levels and flushing the system) and tests (e.g., visual inspection, coolant and pressure tests and leak detection). |
(h) | Fill coolant systems according to specifications and purge air where required. |
(i) | Identify the risks of removing a radiator cap from a hot or overheated cooling system. |
(j) | Describe the function and operation of a heating system to heat, cool and ventilate agricultural equipment cabs. |
(k) | Examine regulations and legislation that govern the use of air conditioning systems. |
(l) | Explain the basics of how an air conditioning system works. |
