Automated Fault Detection & Diagnostics for Rooftop Packaged Air Conditioners

Application of Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostics For Rooftop Air Conditioners in California

The primary goal of the research described in this paper was to apply a decoupling-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) technique and economic assessment method to light commercial cooling and heating equipment in California. The paper describes the decouplingbased FDD methodology and the economic assessment method. The methods have been applied to a number of field sites. Detailed results...

Fault Detection and Diagnostics for Commercial Coolers and Freezers

Most of the previous diagnostics research for vapor compression equipment has been performed for packaged air conditioners and chillers. This paper describes application of a decoupling-based diagnostic technique that was originally developed for air conditioners to equipment used in walk-in coolers and freezers. Testing was performed on a small, restaurant-style walk-in cooler and a small walk...

An Economic Evaluation of Automated Fault Detection and Diagnosis for Rooftop Air Conditioners

In contrast to critical systems, one of the primary consequences of faults in HVAC systems is economic rather than safety-related. Therefore, FDD systems applied to HVAC systems must be assessed based upon economic considerations. However, existing research in this application has mainly focused on technique development and validation. This paper addresses the economics of FDD application to HV...
