Abstract
Diagnostic equipment more particularly to indentify faults in refrigeration equipment is described. The equipment comprises a diagnostic sensor unit (10) including a microprocessor module (21) comprising a microprocessor (22), a ROM (23), a RAM (24), an EEPROM (25), a system clock (26), an analogue to digital converter (ADC) (27) and a digital interface (28) powered by an independent power supply to the equipment being monitored. A plurality of inputs is connected to locations in the refigerated equipment and a display e.g. a liquid crystal display, is provided to indicate the status of the equipment. The input from the locations is learnt by the microprocessor (22) and any change in the input from these locations is compared with the learnt inputs and significant changes are indicated as faults on the display.
Description
- This invention relates to diagnostic equipment and more particularly to diagnostic equipment to identify faults in refrigeration equipment.
- In existing refrigeration equipment a change in the normal operating temperature range only becomes apparent when this is shown by a thermometer or when an alarm is operated. Once the occurrence of a fault has been discovered a technician has to be notified to repair the equipment.
- Diagnosis of the fault, which caused failure in the equipment is facilitated by applying 'clip-on' or 'plug-in' test equipment and by manually inspecting and testing each of the refrigerator circuit components e.g. the fans or compressors, until the fault is identified and a repair of the equipment is made.
- These known fault diagnostic and repair procedures have the disadvantage that if there is a fault in a refrigeration circuit, then the delay in diagnosing and repairing the fault could result in the loss of the refrigerator contents with the ensuing costs. Additionally a technician could have abortive visits to carry out the repair if he does not carry the required spare part.
- An aim of the present invention is to overcome the above disadvantages and provide an in situ diagnostic equipment to identify faults at the earliest opportunity.
- According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a diagnostic sensor unit for monitoring and identifying faults in equipment such as refrigeration units, comprising a microprocessor module powered by an independent power supply to the equipment being monitored, a plurality of inputs for connection to locations in the refrigeration equipment and a status indicator display, wherein the input from the locations is learnt by the microprocessor and any change in the inputs from these locations is compared with the learnt inputs and significant changes indicated as faults on the display.
- Conveniently, the diagnostic sensor unit can be connected to a data collection device such as a modem.
- According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a refrigeration circuit comprising at least one refrigeration unit, a plurality of locations, designating physical parameters around the circuit, being connected to a control box, and a diagnostic sensor unit as set forth in the two preceding paragraphs in situ in the refrigeration circuit so that the diagnostic sensor unit monitors and identifies faults in the refrigeration circuit.
- An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a refrigeration circuit incorporating a diagnostic sensor unit of the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a network system of refrigeration units; and

- The system is designed for the monitoring of faults in, for example, refrigeration equipment and is equally applicable to both single cooling units such as cold cabinets and networked or multiple units (e.g. building air conditioning and public house cellars).
- The diagnostics are based upon the system diagrammatically shown in Fig. 1 comprising a schematic view of a typical refrigeration circuit. The circuit comprises a condenser 1 cooled by a
fan 2, refrigerant is fed from a compressor 3 to the condenser via a control valve 4 to an evaporator 5 also cooled by afan 6. The refrigerant circulates in the system to provide a refrigeration unit e.g. a cold store display cabinet. The various electrical units of the system are connected with a controller 7 which can also connect the system with other electric control or protection devices at inputs 8. Each cooling unit 9, indicated in chain dotted line, is monitored by a diagnostic sensor unit (DSU) 10 which receives the inputs from the circuit voltage, controllers, temperatures, currents and pressures at 11. The DSU 10 is also connected with astatus indicator display 12 indicating the current status of each device being monitored by the DSU 10. - In the network system of refrigeration units shown in Fig. 2, each
refrigeration unit 13 to 16 is monitored by a DSU which indicates the status of the particular device. Individual DSU's are linked on anetwork cable 17 which supplies the electric power and communication media to the units. Thenetwork power supply 18 is generated in a single mains transformer (not shown) capable of supplying up to thirty-two stations. - Control of the network is via a
single network controller 19 which is also used as the primary means of indicating faults. The network may optionally be connected with a modem or otherdata collection device 20 to enable the alarm or details of the faults diagnosed to be recorded or viewed from a remote location. - An embodiment of a DSU electronic circuit is shown in Fig. 3 and comprises a
microprocessor module 21 including a microprocessor 22, a ROM 23, aRAM 24, anEEPROM 25, asystem clock 26, an analogue to digital converter (ADC) 27 and adigital interface 28. - The ADC 27 is connected with
temperature channels 29 andcurrent channels 30, while the digital interface is connected to an opto-isolator circuit 31. Themicroprocessor module 21 is interfaced withnetwork communications package 32 and aserial communications package 33. - The
temperature channels 29 include circuitry which performs the function of interfacing up to sixtemperature sensors 34 to theADC 27. The main task of this circuit is to amplify the sensor signals into the correct range of the ADC. - The circuit of the
current channels 30 performs an identical task to the temperature channels the main difference being the sine-wave type signals given out by the sensors. Analysis of the signals is actually conducted through the microprocessor. - The opto-
isolator 31 is used to monitor for the presence of main voltage in the refrigration equipment. - The microprocessor 22 has a built in ADC and digital ports.
- The system ROM chip 23 holds all of the software used by the DSU.
- The system RAM chip 24 (Randam Access Memory) holds all the system data and variables while the DSU remains powered up.
- The EEPROM 25 (Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory) is used to hold all setup data and a full fault history of the refrigeration unit. The advantage of the EEPROM is that the data is retained even when power has been removed.
- The
system clock 26 provides the real time clock for use by the microprocessor 22. - The
network communications package 32 is an integrated circuit used to translate serial data sent by the microprocessor 22 in the voltage levels used by an RS 485 network. The package also contains a direction pin to determine whether data is being transmitted or received. - The
serial communications package 33 is an integrated circuit which is used to translate serial data sent by the microprocessor 22 into the correct voltage levels for RS232 communications. The circuit also includes all of the handshaking procedures required by a modem. - The function of the software is to store and process up to twelve channels of analogue information collected from the refrigeration circuit, temperature sensors and current sensors. Digital states e.g. the power supply on/off are also monitored. Analogue information is stored in a series of buffers (32 bytes per channel).
- A sampling window is defined to be active i.e. 'open' when the refrigeration unit is cycling on. When the window is 'open' both temperatures and current information is stored. The oldest sample in the buffer is lost as each new sample is stored.
- At each sampling interval the general fault condition of the equipment is checked. Diagnosis of faults is only started when a predetermined learning period has been completed. Faults are identified by comparing the present status of the refrigeration unit with the profile generated during the learning process.
- The DSU performs all of the diagnostics on the refrigeration equipment and operates as follows:
- A series of measurements are made of the physical characteristics located around the refrigeration circuit i.e. temperatures, currents, digital states and any other related physical feature of the equipment being monitored. These readings are then compared with the known characteristics of the equipment and significant deviations from the normal readings are indicated as faults.
- A simplified schematic example of one possible application will now be described with reference to Fig. 1. The following designate locations in the refrigeration circuit:
- (a) Condenser inlet temperature;
- (b) Condenser outlet temperature;
- (c) Evaporator inlet temperature;
- (d) Evaporator outlet temperature;
- (e) Chilled space temperature;
- (f) Evaporator fan's current;
- (g) Condenser fan's current;
- (h) Compressor current.
- Thermostat position, mains voltage and status of protection devices.
- At the initial set up, the DSU will read the various parameters at the locations around the refrigeration circuit and, by the application of algorithms, will generate a normal operating profile for the refrigeration unit which constitutes the learning process.
- Depending upon the on or off operating mode of the refrigeration equipment the DSU will apply a series of tests which compare the operating profile with the 'learnt profile' to determine e.g. whether the compressor current is greater than normal. Faults will then be indicated using the decisions as the basis.
- In a network arrangement in, for example, a public house cellar, the fault status of each DSU would be passed back to the network controller. In cases where the DSU is being applied in isolation, faults are communicated using a series of indicator lamps and/or by a modem link.
- The type of faults which would be monitored in a cellar cooler would be as follows:
Condenser blocked, Evaporator blocked, Thermostat O/C, LP contact, HP contact mains failure, Thermostat S/C, Evaporator fan failed, condenser fan failed and compressor failed. - The network controller has two main purposes:
- (i) scheduling of communications between the various DSU's and the controller;
- (ii) display of the faults encountered on each piece of refrigeration equipment.
- Each DSU is allocated a station number between one and thirty-two and the controller will then ask each of these stations to transmit their fault status. On receipt of this status information the network controller will display the fault on a liquid crystal display (LCD).
- In large systems the network controller will also perform the task of sending out fault status through a modem link. The DSU can also be interrogated using a standard IBM PC type computer or a portable computer unit sold under the trade name PSION organiser.
- The network power supply for the DSU's are held separate from those of the refrigeration equipment to minimise the possibility of a common mode failure i.e. loss of power masking a fault in the refrigeration unit. Network power is generated using standard power supply techniques, the only requirement is for a mains supply.
- The DSU of the present invention has a number of advantages over existing monitoring equipment.
- 1. It is a microprocessor based system which performs passive monitoring and diagnostics on any item of refrigeration equipment.
- 2. More than sixteen types of fault can be identified on the refrigeration equipment.
- 3. The DSU is permanently installed in the equipment during manufacture of the equipment to be monitored or retrofitted rather than carried as a portable test equipment.
- 4. Mains failures can be identified, as separate power supplies are used for the refrigeration equipment and the DSU.
- 5. The DSU can be configured for operation in either a network or single mode.
- 6. The self learning facility of the DSU allows it to be matched to the equipment being monitored. When a repair of the equipment is carried out, e.g. a compressor replacement, the learning process can be readily repeated.
- 7. Complex refrigeration circuits, i.e. split condensers and evaporators and/or multiple evaporators can be accommodated by applying a DSU to each of the evaporators and condensers. The equipment status is then indicated by the network controller each item is thus treated as independent.
- 8. Different diagnostics are applied to the refrigeration equipment depending upon whether the unit is running, stopped or in an intermediate state.
- 9. By using physical measurements located around the refrigeration circuit the basis for diagnostics makes the DSU flexible and thus applicable to any suitable piece of equipment to be monitored.
