Learn how to simulate time-based thermal events in mission-critical systems using PIPE-FLO with OverTime. This session shows how to model temperature rise and control changes during failures such as chiller trips or power loss, helping you protect uptime and size thermal storage effectively.
Overview
Unplanned thermal events can compromise the reliability of mission-critical systems, from data centers to power generation infrastructure. Whether it’s a chiller failure, a pump shutdown, or a utility loss, the speed at which heat accumulates in these systems directly impacts uptime, safety, and cost.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to use PIPE-FLO with OverTime to model the dynamic thermal behavior of your systems under failure conditions.
You’ll learn how to:
- Simulate temperature rise during equipment outage
- Estimate time-to-critical thresholds to plan effective responses
- Evaluate how control strategies affect system stability
- Model thermal storage tank performance to extend uptime and optimize energy use
Whether you're designing, upgrading, or troubleshooting thermal systems, this session offers practical modeling techniques to help you protect uptime and make informed decisions under pressure
Key Takeaways
- Learn how to simulate temperature rise and heat propagation during failure events
- Understand how to calculate time-to-critical thresholds in thermal systems
- See how to model and size thermal storage tanks for backup cooling
