Chilled water plants must evolve to meet erratic, high-density demands with precision and speed, as next-generation workloads push data centers into new thermal and operational extremes.

Join Dan Stranges to take a deep dive into the hydraulics, control strategies, and component selection that underpin large-scale chiller plant performance, covering air-cooled, water-cooled, and hybrid systems. From pressure drop management and transient response to pump sizing, valve selection, and thermal inertia mitigation, attendees will gain a practical framework for designing systems that stay stable under volatile conditions. Sample the newest modeling techniques for dynamic load simulation and commissioning strategies that reduce risk and optimize lifecycle performance. Whether you're navigating ramp rates, staging logic, or energy-efficient pump control, gain direct insight to engineer chilled water systems that are both robust and future ready.
