Water management and leak mitigation for HVAC chilled water loops
Wint’s platform reduces the risk of water damage from HVAC chilled water loops.
Leaks from chilled water pipes cause massive damage
HVAC chilled water circulates through extensive pipe networks that often go unchecked for years. These systems move water at high flow rates of up to 3,000 gallons (10,000 liters) per hour through large-diameter pipes stretching thousands of feet and holding significant amounts of water.
When a pipe fails, pumps continue to force water at high rates. Even if water supplies are shut off, the vast amount of water stored in the system continues to leak, causing extensive damage. Losses can be severe, with high costs and repairs that can take weeks or even months.
Dedicated algorithms catch leaks early and quickly isolate issues
Detecting leaks in chilled water pipes is notoriously difficult. These systems move water continuously at high speeds, so even a small leak – just a few percent of the total flow – can cause significant damage without noticeably altering flows or pressure.
Wint’s chilled water solution combines specialized algorithms with high-sensitivity meters mitigate leaks on HVAC pipes by quickly isolating impacted areas
How it Works
Wint installs high-accuracy flow meters and high-capacity valves at strategic points throughout the chilled water systems. Its AI continuously learns the system’s normal flow patterns and monitors for subtle anomalies that may signal a leak. The Wint system applies specialized algorithms designed to optimize detection on HVAC loops, allowing it to detect small leaks before they turn into floods, and to isolate the impacted area if the leak poses a risk to the facility.
When a leak is detected, Wint isolates the affected section and instantly alerts your team. This prevents water from flooding the facility while allowing the rest of the system to continue operating – ensuring fast response without compromising overall HVAC performance.
