    Last week was the Operator III course – the students operated many aspects of the IRTC refrigeration system including two stage, CO2 cascade, DX, Recirculated, Flooded, and hot gas heating.  The training center was also used for understanding and troubleshooting issues with an industrial refrigeration system.   At the end of the week, several operators took the CIRO exam at our RETA testing center.
