    摘要: A bypass factor of an evaporator is used to indicate when an air filter of an HVAC is clogged. The bypass factor represents the amount of air that is bypassed without direct contact with the evaporator. As the air filter clogs, the bypass factor decreases. The bypass factor can also be used for early detection of clogging of the air filter. A first bypass factor is calculated by using the temperature measurements, and a second bypass factor is calculated by using the airflow rate of the air. The difference between the two bypass factors determines the error. An increase in the error indicates that the air filter is clogged. A coefficient of performance of the evaporator can also be calculated to detect if the air filter is clogged. A decrease in the coefficient of performance indicates that the air filter is clogged.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a mathematical approach to detect faults by reconciling known data driven techniques with a physical understanding of the HVAC system and providing a direct linkage between model parameters and physical system quantities to arrive at classification rules that are easy to interpret, calibrate and implement. The fault modes of interest are low system refrigerant charge and air filter plugging. System data from standard sensors is analyzed under no-fault and full-fault conditions. The data is screened to uncover patterns though which the faults of interest manifest in sensor data and the patterns are analyzed and combined with available physical system information to develop an underlying principle that links failures to measured sensor responses. These principles are then translated into online algorithms for failure detection.

    摘要: A method of diagnosing sensor faults for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system includes the steps of creating a component model for a specific component within the system. The component model is created through the use of commonly available manufacturing data. Data within the system is input into the component model and compared to calculated and predicted values that are also calculated using the identical component models. Differences between the calculated and actual values is determined and compared to a threshold difference value. If the difference exceeds the threshold value, then a fault is detected. The specific type of sensor fault is determined using probability distribution analysis. Each type of sensor fault produces a different type of statistical deviation from normal distribution. By recognizing these patterns of deviations from the normal distribution, the specific type of fault such as electrical, intermittent or freezing of the sensor can be determined to provide initial information as to the severity and type of remedial action required.
