Connect | Virginia // DCD>Talks a new era for air-cooled chiller design with Janis Strelits-Strele | Smart Cooling

Heat is rewriting the playbook for air-cooled chillers, and hyperscale growth is turning up the pressure. In this session, we will dive into the real drivers behind missed targets and budget creep: microclimate effects like plume stacking and hot-air recirculation that chip away at performance while pushing teams toward costly overbuilds.

Through regional real-world case studies across Arizona, Abu Dhabi, and London, Janis Strelits-Strele will show how precision adiabatic cooling can hold coil temperatures at design spec, trim electrical infrastructure, and open the door to smarter layouts that scale cleanly - ultimately protecting megawatts without overspending.
