    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the health of a compressor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a prognostic-diagnostic unit (PDU) compares expected compressor power consumption, based on current operating conditions of the HVAC system, to actual compressor power consumption. If the actual power consumption is within a predefined range of the expected power consumption under current operational conditions, the HVAC system is determined to be operating properly. If the actual power consumption deviates from the expected power consumption, a fault is indicated. An appropriate action is taken, such as displaying a fault alert, transmitting a fault message to another device, and storing information relating to the fault for later retrieval to assist troubleshooting.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a heat pump including a system or method for detecting a fault in the heat pump. Some embodiments include a method for detecting a switch over valve fault where the heat pump includes a refrigerant cycle, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a switch over valve, and the method includes operating the HVAC system in one of a heating mode or a cooling mode, monitoring first, second, and third refrigerant parameters associated with the refrigerant circuit using first, second, and third refrigerant sensors, determining first and second refrigerant inputs based on the first, second, and third second refrigerant parameters, and determining a refrigerant circulation mode by comparing the first refrigerant input to the second refrigerant input to provide an indication of whether the refrigerant is circulating in the heating mode or the cooling mode.

    Abstract: A power factor optimized variable speed drive unit for an electric motor of an HVAC device is disclosed. In an embodiment, the unit includes a selectively-activatable power factor correction unit operatively associated with a switched mode power supply unit. A power measurement unit measures the input power of the electric motor. A comparator unit compares the motor input power to a predetermined threshold. The comparator unit activates the power factor correction unit when the input power of the electric motor is above the threshold, and deactivates the power factor correction unit when the input power of the electric motor falls below the threshold. In an embodiment, motor input power is determined by the product of motor load current and motor speed.
