How Chiller Trend Works
Chiller Trend turns routine chiller readings into a standardized workflow for cleaner logs, stronger comparisons, and reports people can defend.
The method comes first. The comparison depends on it.
Log the chiller. Standardize the method. Compare with confidence.
Chiller Trend helps service teams collect readings the same way, check the quality of the data, calculate key outputs, and turn the record into something the whole team can use.
Set Up the Site and Chiller
Create the customer site and add each chiller with the available equipment information, including manufacturer, model, serial number, refrigerant, tonnage, electrical data, and design values when available. This creates the foundation for consistent logging, trend review, and comparison.
Log Readings Through a Structured Field Workflow
On site, technicians enter operating data such as temperatures, pressures, electrical readings, flow information when available, and other machine-specific values. The goal is not just to record numbers. The goal is to collect the same kind of record every time.
Check the Data Before Trusting the Comparison
Chiller Trend checks critical inputs for consistency and confidence. Field data is noisy. Sensors drift. BAS values can be biased. Conditions change. Chiller Trend helps teams flag questionable inputs before weak data becomes a weak conclusion.
Calculate the Missing Context
Chiller Trend calculates key operating outputs such as kW/ton, load, approach, flow percentage, lift, and other performance indicators when the required inputs are available. This turns a basic log into a more useful operating record.
Compare Against History, Peers, and Operating Conditions
Each saved reading adds to the chiller history. That makes it easier to compare current operation against prior readings, similar machines, and the conditions around the reading instead of judging one log in isolation.
Generate Reports and Diagnostic Findings
Generate customer-facing reports, log sheets, and diagnostic findings when the data supports them. The output is built to help mechanics, account managers, operations teams, and owners understand what changed, why it matters, and what should be reviewed next.
What the Workflow Produces
The end result is not just a stored log. It is a more consistent operating record that can support review, comparison, reporting, and follow-up.
Cleaner Field Records
Consistent readings, better structure, and fewer disconnected notes.
More Useful Comparisons
Compare readings over time and across similar machines with a stronger method behind the data.
Defensible Reports
Give customers clearer evidence instead of isolated numbers or unsupported opinions.
