Chiller Plant Optimization
Physics-based chiller plant digital twins that optimize kW/ton across every operating condition. Staging logic, condenser water reset, and tower fan control driven by real thermodynamics.
Plant Asset Coverage
Every component from chiller barrel to cooling tower basin, fully instrumented.
| Asset | Monitoring | Digital Twin |
|---|---|---|
| Centrifugal Chillers | Evap/cond pressure, LCHWT, ECHWS, compressor amps, oil pressure | COP model, part-load curve mapping, surge limit tracking |
| Cooling Towers | Fan speed, basin temp, approach temp, makeup water, blowdown | Wet-bulb effectiveness, fill degradation, cycle of concentration |
| Condenser Water Pumps | Flow, head, power, vibration, bearing temp | System curve overlay, VFD optimization, wire-to-water efficiency |
| Chilled Water Pumps | Flow, dP, power, VFD speed, seal temp | Distribution pump head optimization, dP reset modeling |
| Plate Heat Exchangers | Approach temp, dP both sides, flow rate, fouling factor | Fouling rate prediction, cleaning interval optimization |
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.
