Workarounds Described
- Currently running one pump and seeing high differential temperature indicating poor flow
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated pump speed control based on differential pressure sensing to maintain optimal flow and prevent buildup
App Concept
ChillFlow Optimizer
An IoT-based chiller plant optimization controller that automatically adjusts pump speeds via VFDs based on real-time differential pressure and temperature sensors, preventing buildup and reducing energy consumption. It integrates with existing BMS and provides predictive maintenance alerts.
Key Features
- Real-time differential pressure and temperature monitoring
- Automated VFD control for condenser pumps
- Lead/lag pump rotation optimization
- Predictive maintenance alerts for pipe buildup
- Remote monitoring via mobile app
Target Users: Facility managers and HVAC engineers in commercial buildings, hospitals, and data centers with chilled water systems (100+ tons)
Revenue Model: $1,500/unit hardware plus $50/mo cloud subscription per system
