Plant Intelligence

Thermodynamic optimization for every operating condition.

kW/ton Optimization

Real-time plant efficiency calculation with component-level breakdown. Track kW/ton from 0.45 design to actual operating conditions.

Condenser Approach Trending

Monitor condenser approach temperature as a leading indicator of tube fouling. Schedule cleaning based on measured degradation, not calendar.

Refrigerant Monitoring

Track subcooling, superheat, and refrigerant charge indicators. Detect slow leaks through performance degradation before low-charge alarms.

Optimal Staging Logic

Physics-based chiller staging that considers part-load COP curves, condenser water reset, and tower fan energy to minimize total plant kW/ton.

IPLV vs Actual Performance

Compare manufacturer IPLV ratings against actual integrated efficiency. Quantify the gap between rated and real-world performance.

Surge Detection

Monitor compressor surge indicators in real time. Protect centrifugal chillers from damaging surge events with predictive speed control.
