Some PCA Feedback

"Martin's wealth of knowledge and experience is unparalleled in my humble opinion. I have learned many, many things from Martin. Key to those would be what superheat, and subcooling is and how important each is in diagnosing refrigerant-related problems.."

"I couldn’t say enough about what Martin King has meant to me. With all the knowledge I have acquired I’m now in a technical support role for several different manufactures and growing into another area of our industry. Thanks some much. Martin."

"Just completed PCA's FREE Basic Refrigeration Mini-Course. Overall, it was very well done and to the point. This mini-course, although very basic, would be good for a newbie or someone who wants a quick skill tuneup. Contacted Martin King who informed me there is a PRO version of the basic refrigeration course coming out in 2021. I signed up for the mailing list to get an email when new courses become available. "

Very cool! I have been an HVAC tech working out of the Atlanta, CA, area for over 15 years. Office sent me out on a small brewery chiller a few weeks ago. Although I have a good amount of experience on chillers used for building HVAC, I did not know much about the "Process" part of a process chiller. Not much out there to learn about process chillers. Found some intro video's on YouTube by PCA that were helpful. I signed up for the FREE Mini-Course, and surprisingly it was well done and absent of the normal mind-numbing shameless promotion you get with most free courses. Signed up for the email list for updates.

"Cool site. Looks like you guys are just getting started? There is not much out there on process chiller training. Just got on your mailing list. Hope to see your system design course available soon. Thanks, Mike"
