67) The participants can recognise which components in a WTG have to be cooled and why (Knowledge, basic level)
68) The participants can describe the consequences of inadequate cooling (Knowledge, basic level)
69) The participants can describe the hazards associated with the cooling system (Knowledge, basic level)
70) The participants can describe the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (Knowledge, basic level)
71) The participants can describe the correct PPE (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Explain how heat is produced in the different systems and components (e.g. gearbox, generator, hydraulic system…)
Explain that heat can be transferred from component to component
Explain overheating problems
Facilitate discussions with the participants about:
a.
the consequences of inadequate cooling
b. the hazards associated with the cooling system (e.g. discussions on how the hazards of the cooling system compare to the hazards of the gearbox, the mechanical and aerodynamic brakes, and the yaw system)
c. the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (e.g. Lock Out Tag Out)
d.
the correct PPE
The participants shall:
Engage in discussions about the consequences of inadequate cooling
Engage in discussions about the hazards associated with the cooling systems
Engage in discussions about the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (e.g. Lock Out Tag Out)
Engage in discussions about the correct PPE
