A Chilled Water Plant is the assembly of chillers, pumps, pipework and controls that produces and circulates chilled water to cooling equipment. Chillers remove heat from the water, which is distributed to CRAHs, air handlers or fan walls that cool the data hall. In data centers it is a primary cooling source, typically configured with redundant chillers for continuous operation.
