2020 RETA Breeze Nov-Dec

As 2020 comes to its conclusion, it marks the one-year anniversary of my serving as your Education Coordinator. It has been my honor. My goal coming into this position has been to always provide educational material that is the best it can be. With that goal in mind, I am pleased to report: From the Education Coordinator’s Desk

Industrial Refrigeration-1 and Industrial Refrigeration-2 have recently been thoroughly updated and include new material to help you better understand the complexities of industrial refrigeration. Both are available from RETA’s online bookstore and both are available through RETA’s online training website. Basic Electricity 2 – Ladder Diagrams has been thoroughly updated and includes newmaterials to help you to better read and understand the Ladder Diagram and Control Logic it describes. With special emphasis on safety and the art and science of electrical control troubleshooting, BE-2 is in the process of final review/edit and will be available shortly after the first of the year. Control Theory ONE – Part ONE of a two volume set first published by RETA in 1970. Since then thousands of students have

learned the basics from this still popular book. During the 2020 RETA National Conference, the Education Subcommittee members met to discuss progress on the updated revision. Fifty years after it was first published, this all new thoroughly updated revision contains information on the tried and true mechanical devices that are still in use as well as the latest developments in control technology. Look for this book in the Spring of 2021. Voice Over PowerPoint – has been busy developing several new presentations. Look for those on the RETA webpage. It can be disorienting when one discovers they are viewing history fromwithin. History is by definition, to be looked back upon. 2020 has been unique. No one can dispute that fact. Hang On! 2021 is right around the corner. Seasons Greetings and Happy NewYear
