Tech center staff collaborated with a team from Thermotron, a Holland-based manufacturer of environmental test equipment, to custom design training equipment that simulates five different refrigeration systems in one unit: a household refrigerator, walk-in and reach-in coolers, and walk-in and reach-in freezers.
According to the program's instructor, Phil Breuker, the 10 compact, portable training units that were purchased from Ther-motron help maximize student learning by creating efficiencies in the learning environment.
