Claim One:
1. A cooling system controller for an installation of heat generating machines having variable cooling requirements, the cooling system comprising two or more thermal components sharing a first cooling fluid circuit and first cooling fluid for cooling the installation, the cooling system controller comprising: a requirement discovery engine for recording the variable cooling requirements of the heat generating machines; a characterizing engine for measuring and recording outputs for each thermal component and characterizing each thermal component in a static dimension and a dynamic dimension indexed by an effective direct environment condition each thermal component provides in response to a plurality of input control settings for generating a respective set of static set-points for each thermal component; a logical model generator for generating a logical model of the thermal components based on: relationships between the thermal components, operating fluid flow around the thermal components, and static set-points of each component; an optimizer for finding minimum energy consumption for the cooling system; and an interface for continuously adjusting control settings for each component to keep the cooling system operating at the minimum energy consumption.
