The Industrial Refrigeration Technical College (IRTC) hosted its highly sought-after Operator II course this week. This Industrial Refrigeration Operator 2 is tailored for professionals eager to enhance their expertise in ammonia refrigeration systems. Our advanced program builds on foundational skills, focusing on troubleshooting, system optimization, and CIRO exam preparation. Graduates earn a certificate, along with 36 PDH credits, solidifying their professional credentials.

In just 4.5 days, attendees gain critical knowledge. Key topics include hot gas defrosting techniques, efficient system maintenance, and the operation of evaporators, vessels, and pumps. Active learning is emphasized, with hands-on training using IRTC's fully operational ammonia system. The RETA Industrial Refrigeration 2 book, a vital resource for the CIRO exam, is provided.

Transitioning from theory to practice, students tour IRTC’s state-of-the-art lab and shop. This unique feature enables them to connect technical concepts to real-world applications. Meanwhile, experienced instructors such as our very own mechanical engineer, Ryan Barolo (pictured on far left), guide participants through every step, ensuring comprehension and readiness to excel.

This course, and others are hosted at IRTC’s Lyndhurst, VA campus. Seats are limited, so early registration is encouraged. We also offer online industrial refrigeration training courses!
