Ensuring Valve Reliability in Cooling Infrastructure
11:00 am, Breakout 2 – Meeting Place 1/2
Cooling systems are the life line of data center operations, and the valves and piping supplying them are its arteries. Learn how top-tier owners prevent downtime and process disruptions by matching the right valves for critical chilling applications.
Designing Natural Gas Fuel Supply Systems for 5-9s Reliability
1:00 pm, Breakout 3 – Meeting Place 1/2
Natural gas supply systems are vital to power generation and emergency backup applications. With 99.999%+ availability allowing only ~ 5 minutes of downtime per year, reliability has to be designed at every pressure cut. Prescribing the correct regulator solutions, skid build-outs for OPP, and digital monitoring tools can make the difference between achieving top-tier reliability or reaping avoidable, costly downtime.
