Conference Agenda

Workshop Description:

As global ambient temperatures rise, cooling systems are increasingly pushed to their limits. This practical workshop explores the real-world implications of high ambient conditions on system design, capacity, and reliability. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how system sizing and specification must adapt, why performance degrades under heat stress, and how to mitigate risk through better design, maintenance, and operation.

Key topics include:

• The impact of ambient temperature on cooling capacity and performance

• Understanding condensing temperatures and condenser ΔT

• Mitigation strategies for rising ambient and condensing temperatures

• Consequences of fouled coils and poorly positioned equipment

• Correct coil cleaning procedures

• Case study: 57% performance improvement and reduced failures

• Lessons from failure: The Guys & St Thomas’ data centre incident

This session is aimed at engineers, facility managers, and designers seeking practical, evidence-based insights to improve cooling resilience in a changing climat
