For teachers at TAFE NSW its important to know they are providing quality training programs to their refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) students.Teachers from across NSW recently came together to assess their work.
“At the end of each year most of the refrigeration and air conditioning teachers from around the state come together for the annual RAC teachers meeting,” according to Steve Smith, the head teacher of RAC trades at the Kingswood Campus of Nepean TAFE located at the Western Sydney Institute. “We’ve been running this two day event for four years now with a different college hosting it each year.”
“Temperzone kindly assisted with the high costs incurred to cover travel, accommodation and meals for teaching staff from Newcastle, Tamworth, Wollongong, Bathurst, Granville and Kingswood,” Smith said.
“I’m proud to say that the 2015 meeting had the best turn-out to date, with more than 20 attendees,” Smith said.
NSW Branch Manager at Temperzone, Damien Walsh, said the company made its conference facilities available and provided training sessions for the teachers on the Hitachi and Temperzone range of products. He also included sessions with the experts from Danfoss, Carel and ebm papst fans. “Everyone found the training sessions to be of great value,” Smith said. “It is very easy to lose touch with the real world and the rate of technological change that is occurring in all sectors of the industry today.”
To cap off the second day, Walsh organised a tour of the manufacturing facility. Temperzone manufacture almost all of the individual components that go into their units including the heat exchange coils, specialised internal piping, sheet metal casings, fan volutes, electronic PC boards and firmware. The parts that are not produced internally are sourced from high end component manufacturers like Copeland, Carel, Ziehl-Abegg and Danfoss. Each unit is commissioned then checked for quality and correct operation by qualified tradesmen before leaving the factory floor.
