What is the role of a chiller plant control system in ensuring efficient operation?

The chiller plant control system acts as the “orchestra conductor” that coordinates the operation of all components, including chillers, pumps, pipes, coils, cooling towers, temperature sensors, and control valves. It ensures that each component works in harmony to achieve optimal system performance, efficiency, and reliability. A well-designed control system can optimize energy consumption, reduce wear and tear on equipment, and improve overall system resilience.
