A method is provided for the monitoring of heat transfer devices. The method includes the acts of receiving data from a heat transfer device, and computing a performance indicator indicative of an incipient anomaly condition of the heat transfer device based upon the received data, and/or computing a normalized efficiency of the heat transfer device. The normalized efficiency represents a corrected efficiency that isolates effects of a process parameter on performance of the heat transfer device. The data represents a measurable process parameter or a change in a measurable process parameter in the heat transfer device. The method receives the data and computes a performance indicator to predict performance degradation of the heat transfer device over time based upon the received data.

A system for isolating effects of one or more process parameters on performance of a heat transfer device is provided. The system includes an efficiency correction unit that is adapted to receive data from the heat transfer device. The data is representative of one or more measurable process parameters or a change in the one or more measurable process parameters of the heat transfer device. The efficiency correction unit is also configured to compute a normalized efficiency of the heat transfer device. The normalized efficiency represents a corrected efficiency that isolates effects of one or more process parameters on performance of the heat transfer device.

A system and method for improving a causal network is provided. A new apriori probability is determined for a repair or a configuration factor within the causal network and compared to an old apriori probability. If the new apriori probability differs from the old apriori probability by more than a predetermined amount, the causal network is updated. Further, in another aspect, a causal network result is stored for a causal network, wherein the causal network includes a plurality of root causes with a symptom being associated with each of said root causes. An existing link probability is related to the symptom and root cause. An expert result or an actual data result related to each of the symptoms is stored. A new link probability is computed based on the stored causal network result, and expert result or the actual data result.
