Hello RETA, Today I’m reaching out to all our

manufacturers and engineers. A Techni cal College in East Texas is starting a new industrial refrigeration school, and they are in need of donations. This school will be a one-year certificate program that could possibly turn into an associate degree program at a later date. They are looking for a designed small industrial two-stage system with a crossover for a single stage. The equipment used will be decided by the engineer. However, the ideal would be differing compressors and other equipment that’s industry standard in the design. We are asking for our manufacturers to help with equipment and an engineer to assist in designing a learning system. All equipment and engineering will receive paperwork from the school for tax purposes. Please note: Brands on this list are simply to illustrate the product/ concept. All brands are welcome, and one brand is not favored over another. Ammonia Equipment List
