This week, Chris and Dave are back to business as usual as they continue to take on the pack controllers, specifically the PC 782A, one bite at a time. This time, for their "Pack Controller 301" course, they're covering sensor names and valve names that you would see in the pack controller and standard abbreviations for inputs and outputs.

In today's episode of the Controller Talk podcast, our controller gurus are taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to give you a special episode on the 2023 global tour of Danfoss' Mobile CO2 Training Unit, playfully referred to as "Big Red."

Special guest Brett Wetzel, Manager of Technical Troubleshooting and Training at CoolSys (one of the many stops on the training units tour here in North America) joins Dave and Christ for a casual Q&A with Brett to recant his and CoolSys' first-hand experience with Big Red.
