2022 RETA Breeze Nov-Dec

EDUCATION CORNER

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Education is a self-directed life-long process where we constantly try to gain more knowledge about the subjects of our interest. One of RETA’s three goals is Education. The other two, Development and Efficiency are related. We develop efficiency through education. The RETA Book Store and RETA’s Online Training represents a “storehouse” of information that Operators and Technicians have accumulated and compiled about all things Refrigeration. The recent RETA Conference held in Reno, Nevada was a great educational experience as well. Numerous training sessions and workshops provided members with valuable insights in the industry. And the vender displays

provided opportunity to establish a personal face to face relationship with leading experts in the field and a look at some of the equipment and resources available. Just in time for the Holidays, you can give the gift of education. Available now in the RETA Bookstore and RETA Online Training are the recently updated Industrial Refrigeration ONE & TWO and the newly updated and revised Industrial Refrigeration THREE – (Plant Maintenance & Related Items), and Basic Electricity TWO- (Ladder Diagrams). Coming Soon is RETA’s most recent offering on Compliance. If you would like to a part of the team that helps to keep RETA information fresh, relevant, and accurate consider

paying it forward to the future by joining the Education Committee and put your knowledge and experience

into the next generation of refrigeration engineers and technicians.

And speaking of future, exciting things are happening with ammonia and CO2. Both are zero pollution refrigerants. And as it turns out they are both highly efficient when it comes to moving heat. And, as it turns out ammonia is also highly efficient and non-polluting as a fuel. Several countries have decided to move to ammonia as an alternative fuel source.
