The refrigeration industry has a multitude of technologies that work together in order to make each system function. These technologies continue to evolve and change as systems become more efficient and as new methods are discovered to improve the refrigeration cycle. As such, the importance of continuing education cannot be emphasized enough.
Knowledge is the best tool that service technicians can carry with them. And like any tool, it needs to be continually honed in order to keep it sharp and useful. Technicians cannot efficiently troubleshoot a system if they do not understand all the technologies working within it. Technicians should never become complacent and believe they have learned all that can be learned. With all the various and rapidly changing technologies in our field, it is truly an enormous task to try and master them all.
