How good is your refrigeration history knowledge? ?? ?What compressor manufacturer used recycled Civil War cannon balls to cast their compressors? ?In what decade was the multi-port valve patented? ?What famous refrigeration company got their refrigeration start by repairing De Large compressors? ?What famous German pair teamed up to bring an innovative ammonia compressor to the United States? ?Who was the Ice King? So, how many do you know? ?? If your mind went blank, don’t worry— RSES is hosting the Technical Webinar, “The History of Refrigeration,” presented by Vern Sanderson, Senior Manager: Process Safety Management, SFC Global Supply Chain, Inc. The classic era of refrigeration, beginning with the invention of Perkins through the birth of refrigeration without ice, may be refrigeration’s most interesting era. Much of the equipment in the field today has its roots in the classic era. This topic, in many ways, mirrors the history of civilization: discovery followed by innovation, rapid growth and then the cycle restarts. Vern M. Sanderson is a failed cow-milker who grew up on a farm in Ohio. To date, he has 37 years in the ammonia refrigeration industry. He has several industry passions, including refrigeration history, compliance and people. An advocate for training, he is a RETA Authorized Instructor (RAI); has published nearly 200 articles to date, as well as a book, “Functional Standard operating Procedures for the Ammonia Refrigeration Industry;” and has presented at many industry conferences, including RSES, RETA and IIAR. Lastly, he is a former RETA National Board Member and has held every nationally elected office including National President. ?March 26, 2025, 6PM CST / 7PM EST ??Click here to register: https://bit.ly/4h2pp6S ??Attendees of the live session will receive a certificate for completing one (1) hour of continuing education after the conclusion of the webinar. #rses #webinar #refrigeration #hvacr #history

Refrigerating Engineers & Technicians Association (RETA) - Official Page(RETA) and Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with sister association North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC) in February during the 2025 AHR Expo in Orlando, FL. ?? The agreement aims for both associations to develop and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship in order to promote the safe and efficient use of natural refrigerants applied in refrigeration technology. Specifically, RETA-RSES and NASRC plan to collaborate on developing and promoting a Commercial Refrigeration Certification for technicians, including CO2 technologies, with the opportunity for future collaborations and trainings. Both RETA and NASRC have collaborated on another project similar in scope related strictly to industrial CO2. RETA-RSES Executive Director Jim Barron and NASRC Executive Director Danielle Wright have been working with their respective boards over several months so that the MOU satisfies both organizations’ memberships and industry needs. ?? #reta #rses #nasrc #hvacr #partnership
