Predictika · V-shape liquid cooler orders

An AI sales agent's liquid cooler order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a V-shape liquid (dry) cooler: a cooler family, the number and diameter of fans, the motor type and options, a switchboard and controller, the fluid and pressure, the duty and the capacity it states in kilowatts. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the order rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the capacity it computed.

Scope: Lu-Ve V-shape liquid coolers (Giant S, Giant S Tower and Alfa V Mega Jumbo): fans, motors, options, switchboard and controller, fluid, pressure, duty and the stated capacity. See everything this validator covers

This validator models V-shape liquid cooler orders of this kind, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Family, fans and motors — the fan count range and the fan diameters (800, 910 or 960 mm) each family offers, and whether EC or AC motors are available.
  • Options — the Whisperer low-noise and radial motor options (Giant S only, with EC motors), the Adiabatic System, the Aluplus coating that cannot go with copper fins, the ECCB and ECCB+MC switchboards that need EC motors, and a master controller that needs a switchboard.
  • Duty, fluid and pressure — a fluid that does not corrode copper, a pressure of at most 10 bar, the duty against the capacity, review of duty above 90 percent of capacity, an oversized cooler, pressure above 6 bar and copper fins, and the stated capacity compared with the computed one.

Any V-shape liquid cooler order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Family names, fan diameters, family capacity ranges and option names follow public Lu-Ve product pages; the capacity per fan, which options each family offers, the switchboard and controller dependencies and the review thresholds are modeled and not published by Lu-Ve. No prices are modeled. Not covered: air-cooled condensers, CO2 gas coolers, other Lu-Ve families, accessories and selection software results.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Options that depend on the cooler familyOnly with care
Each family offers different fan diameters, motors and options, so every option needs a rule on the family it is ordered with.
The family and every option are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Options that depend on each otherOnly with care
The switchboard needs EC motors, the controller needs a switchboard and the Aluplus coating excludes copper fins, so each pair needs its own rule.
All the dependencies between options are checked together on every call.
A capacity that depends on fans, diameter and coilOnly with workarounds
The capacity is the fan count times a figure that depends on the fan diameter and the coil depth, so it must be computed before the duty can be compared with it.
The capacity is computed on every call and compared with the duty and with the capacity stated in the order.
Review thresholds on duty and pressureOnly with workarounds
A duty close to the capacity, an oversized cooler and a higher pressure each need a separate review rule beside the blocking rules.
The thresholds are rules in the same model, so a person is asked to review only when no blocking finding applies.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as a step is saved or completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

13 fans is outside the range offered for this cooler family (4 to 20 fans).
2The capacity is more than twice the duty; a person should confirm the sizing.
37 fans is outside the range offered for this cooler family (2 to 6 fans).
4This fan diameter is not offered on the selected cooler family.
5This cooler family is supplied with EC fan motors only.
6The Whisperer low-noise and radial motor options are offered on Giant S only.
7The Whisperer and radial motor options need EC fan motors.
8The Adiabatic System is not offered on Giant S Tower.
9The Aluplus coating is for aluminium fins; it cannot be ordered with copper fins.
10Copper fins are a special build; a person should confirm availability.
11The ECCB and ECCB+MC switchboards are for EC fan motors.
12A master controller needs a switchboard.
13The coil is copper tube; fluids that corrode copper are not allowed.
1412 bar is above the 10 bar design pressure.
15Operating pressure is above 6 bar; a person should confirm the pressure equipment documentation.
162,700 kW is above the largest capacity of this family (2,670 kW).
17The duty needs 400 kW; this configuration gives 380 kW.
18The duty is above 90 percent of the capacity; a person should confirm the design conditions.
19The order states 400 kW; the configuration computes to 380 kW.
2011 fans is outside the range offered for this cooler family (1 to 10 fans).
21The duty needs 2,000 kW; this configuration gives 1,155 kW.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a V-shape liquid (dry) cooler: a cooler family, the number and diameter of fans, the motor type and options, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the order rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the capacity it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Giant S Tower cooler with 6 fans of 960 mm, EC motors and a 4-row coil with copper fins. The fluid is glycol at 6 bar and the duty is 500 kilowatts. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states a capacity of 630 kilowatts.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with five findings and one approval, all in one answer. This fan diameter is not offered on the selected cooler family. The Whisperer low-noise and radial motor options are offered on Giant S only. The Adiabatic System is not offered on Giant S Tower. The other two are on screen.
  6. The validator returned five blocking findings and one approval in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the order are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for a capacity that depends on fans, diameter and coil, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the cooler family to Giant S, the fins to aluminium and the switchboard to ESB.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Six problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
