Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Überwachen einer Kältemittelfüllmenge einer Kälteanlage, wobei das Verfahren folgende Schritte aufweist: Erfassen einer füllmengensensitiven Messgröße über einen vorgegebenen Zeitraum hinweg; Erstellen einer Ist-Häufigkeitsverteilung der Messwerte der Messgröße, wobei die Ist-Häufigkeitsverteilung beschreibt, wie häufig ein bestimmter Messwert der Messgröße innerhalb des vorgegebenen Zeitraums vorlag; Ermitteln eines Versatzes der Ist-Häufigkeitsverteilung bezüglich einer Referenz-Häufigkeitsverteilung; und Bewerten des Kältemittelfüllzustandes basierend auf dem ermittelten Versatz.

The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring a refrigerant charge of a refrigeration system, the method having the following steps: detecting a fill quantity-sensitive measured variable over a predetermined period of time; Creating an actual frequency distribution of the measured values of the measured variable, the actual frequency distribution describing how frequently a specific measured value of the measured variable was present within the given time period; Determining an offset of the actual frequency distribution with respect to a reference frequency distribution; and evaluating the refrigerant fill condition based on the determined offset.
