Abstract: A control system for an HVAC system. The control system includes a user interface configured to present information to a user and receive inputs from the user. A processor is configured to cause the processor to receive one or more system parameters associated with HVAC system components. The processor is further configured to determine if a maintenance operation is required in response to receiving the one or more system parameters, and to display to the user via the user interface an indication that a maintenance operation is required. The processor is also configured to receive an instruction from the user to initiate the maintenance operation, and to display one or more operational conditions required to be satisfied prior to the maintenance operations being performed. The HVAC components are monitored to determine if the operational conditions are completed, and maintenance instructions are displayed in response to the operational conditions being completed.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes techniques that enable a conditioned air system to automatically restore functionality and/or to operate at reduced functionality when a fault is detected, for example, to facilitate reducing likelihood that continuing operation with the fault present will decrease lifespan of the conditioned air system. To facilitate improving operation of the conditioned air system when a fault is present, the control system of the conditioned air system may utilize substitute sensor data and/or adjust its control algorithm. In this manner, the control system may facilitate improving operational reliability and/or availability of the conditioned air system, for example, by adaptively adjusting its operation to enable the conditioned air system to continue operating even when a fault is present, while reducing likelihood that the continued operation will reduce lifespan of the conditioned air system.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may include a HVAC unit that may control air flow, a first control system that may directly control operation of equipment in the HVAC unit, and a second control system communicatively coupled to the first control system. The second control system may be located in a different zone of a building as compared to the first control system, such that the second control system may receive a request to adjust the air flow output by the HVAC unit and send a command to the first control system based on the request. The command may cause the first control system to adjust the operation of the equipment in the HVAC unit to cause the air flow output by the HVAC unit to be adjusted according to the request.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a controller associated with a residence. The controller is configured to determine an expected value range for an operating parameter of a component of the HVAC system. Additionally, the controller is configured to receive a signal from a sensor indicative of a current value of the operating parameter of the component and determine if the current value of the operating parameter is outside the expected value range. Based on the determination that the current value is outside the expected value range, the controller is additionally configured to initiate a diagnostic mode of the controller. In the diagnostic mode, the controller is configured to collect diagnostic data associated with the HVAC system.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes an outdoor unit having a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a coil configured to route refrigerant therethrough. The HVAC system also includes a motor configured to drive a fan, a motor controller configured to regulate operation of the motor, and a global controller configured to regulate operation of global aspects of the HVAC system. The HVAC system also includes a power sensor configured to detect a power parameter relating to a power input to the motor controller, a power output from the motor controller, or a power input to the motor, wherein the global controller is configured to receive data indicative of the power parameter from the power sensor, and wherein the global controller is configured to analyze the data indicative of the power parameter to detect a frozen coil condition, a fouled coil condition, or both.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a compressor, a fan, an inverter configured to drive operation of the compressor, and a controller communicatively coupled to the fan and the inverter. The controller includes a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processor circuitry, are configured to cause the processor circuitry to determine an operating parameter of the fan in response to an interruption in receiving communication signals from the inverter and operate the fan based on the operating parameter during the interruption.
