Definitions
- HVAC heating, ventilation and cooling
- HVAC systems often do not function as well as expected due to faults developed during routine operation. While these faults are indicative of a failure mode, many faults do not result in immediate system shut down or costly damages. However, most faults, if unnoticed for a long period of time, could adversely affect system performance, life, and lifecycle cost.
- prognostic typically refers to predicting faults before they occur.
- early detection and diagnostics may serve the same end as prognostics. This is the case when failure propagation happens at a reasonably slow pace. Small changes in system parameters typically do not have a substantial adverse effect initially. As such, accurate prediction of the time between detection of a fault, that is, a small change to one or more system parameters, to full system deterioration or shutdown is not crucial. For instance, detection of HVAC system refrigerant charge leakage and air filter plugging are examples of failure modes for which early detection of changes provides adequate information to take timely maintenance action.
- the present invention is directed to an analytical approach to detect faults by reconciling known data driven techniques with a physical understanding of the ETVAC system and providing a direct linkage between model parameters and physical system quantities to arrive at classification rules that are easy to interpret, calibrate and implement.
- the present invention focuses on two of the most common problems encountered a multi-modular split HVAC system, which are detecting low refrigerant conditions and air filter plugging.
- a method for refrigerant charge leak detection is disclosed that relies on a systematic technique for analysis of experimental data, extraction of fault signatures, formulation of fault detection principals, and development and implementation of diagnostic algorithms.
- a method of detecting air filter plugging is also disclosed that relies on reduced physics-based relationships in heat exchangers to estimate air mass flow through the heat exchangers.
- Both methods incorporate data filtering techniques to determine which portions of data carry the most information regarding the underlying failure, variable sub-selection based upon available sensors, calculation of a distance between faulty and normal data sets, and maximization of this distance with respect to filtering parameters and variable sub-selection.
- the sub-selected variables are then processed by classification techniques to generate easy to interpret and easy to implement classification rules.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an example HVAC system 10 according to the present invention.
- the HVAC system 10 is a duct-free heat pump system known as a multi-modular split system (MMS).
- MMS 10 includes one outdoor unit 12 and two indoor units 14A and 14B, which operate in a cooling mode to provide cool air to an interior space during a warm or hot season and a heating mode to provide warm air to the interior space during a cool or cold season.
- the outdoor unit 12 includes a pair of parallel compressors 16, which are variable speed, an outdoor expansion valve 18 to control a sub-cool in the cooling mode and to control a superheat in the heating mode, an outdoor heat exchanger 20, which behaves as a condenser in the cooling mode and as an evaporator in the heating mode, and an outdoor fan 22.
- Each of the two indoor units 14A and 14B includes an indoor expansion valve
- an indoor heat exchanger 26 which behaves as an evaporator in the cooling mode and as a condenser in the heating mode, and an indoor fan 28.
- a 4-way valve 30 controls the mode of operation from the cooling mode to the heating mode and vice versa.
- the MMS 10 also includes a receiver tank 32 for storage of refrigerant charge that is operable to change the amount of refrigerant charge circulated depending on the conditions.
- the speed of the compressors 16 and the indoor fan 28 are adjusted in response to a deviation between a room temperature and a set point.
- the speed of the compressors 16 is further adjusted to match the total cooling or heating demand.
- Expansion valves are disposed throughout the MMS 10.
- the expansion valves are pulse modulated valves 34 that are actuated via pulse modulation.
- the pulse modulated valves 34 are controlled by an actuation signal that adjusts an opening of the pulse modulated valves 34 to control a flow of refrigerant through the MMS 10.
- Pulse modulated valves 34A and 34B are positioned in-line proximate to the indoor heat exchangers 26.
- a pair of pulse modulated valves 35 is positioned in-line between a coil 36 and the receiver tank 32.
- the sensors include a plurality of refrigerant-side temperature sensors 38, air-side temperature sensors 40, and pressure sensors 42.
- Refrigerant-side temperature sensors 38A - 38D are positioned near each end of each of the indoor heat exchangers 26.
- Refrigerant-side temperature sensors 38E and 38F are positioned near one dnd of each of the compressors 16.
- Refrigerant-side temperature sensor 38G is positioned between the 4-way valve 30 and an accumulator 44.
- Refrigerant-side temperature sensor 38H is positioned between the pair of pulse modulated valves 35 and the receiver tank 34.
- Refrigerant-side sensor 381 is positioned between the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the coil 36.
- Air-side temperature sensors 4OA and 4OB are positioned between the indoor fans 28 and the indoor heat exchangers 26 and air-side temperature sensor 4OC is positioned proximate to the outdoor fan 20.
- Pressure sensor 42A is positioned proximate to the accumulator 44 and pressure sensor 42B is positioned between the compressors 16 and an oil separator 46.
- the present invention focuses on developing algorithms to detect faults within the MMS 10 by utilizing existing system sensors and data.
- An analytical method of diagnosing at least one system fault utilizing existing system sensors is disclosed.
- the analytical method includes identifying sensors that are available within a given system, analyzing sensor data to determine which of the available sensors generate data indicative of a system fault based upon a maximum separation/minimum overlap between no-fault data and full-fault data for each available sensor, determining a fault relationship based on the analysis, comparing at least one measured system characteristic to the fault relationship and generating at least one fault code indicative of a failure mode when a system fault is identified.
- the system fault identified is not necessarily the system characteristic directly monitored by the sensor generating the data that is being analyzed.
- the senor may generate data associated with a pressure within the system, however, the failure code generated may be indicative of a low system refrigerant charge or an air filter plugging condition.
- the failure code generated may be indicative of a low system refrigerant charge or an air filter plugging condition.
- a total MMS refrigerant charge is roughly proportional to a total volume filled with liquid refrigerant at any given point in time. Low system refrigerant charge occurs when the total system liquid volume drops.
- a total MMS refrigerant mass drops and the total MMS volume increases resulting in an overall increase in a volume of vapor refrigerant relative to a volume of liquid refrigerant.
- the overall increase in total MMS volume causes an increase in temperature of refrigerant exiting the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers 20 and 26 to a temperature above the boiling point of the refrigerant when the refrigerant is in a vapor state or a decrease in temperature of refrigerant exiting the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers 20 and 26 to a temperature below the boiling point of the refrigerant when the refrigerant is in a liquid state.
- These phenomena are known as superheat and sub-cool respectively. Under these conditions, the MMS 10 will tend to increase the vapor quality at those temperatures if saturated, thereby controlling the superheat.
- the superheat is controlled by actuating an expansion valve.
- the expansion valve 34 is a pulse modulated valve (PMV) and actuation pf the PMV is controlled via pulse modulation.
- PMV pulse modulated valve
- an increase in superheat translates into a higher pulse actuation which in turn correlates to low system refrigerant charge.
- low system refrigerant charge is also associated with lower system suction pressures.
- the present invention includes a fault detection principal for identifying low system refrigerant charge which may be summarized as follows:
- Low refrigerant charge indicator uses larger average PMV opening of the indoor units OR smaller values of suction pressure observed during the first few minutes (e.g. 10-20 minutes) after the compressor speed (rpm) exceeds a threshold (e.g. 40%-50% of its maximum rpm) excluding first 0-2 minutes of transient data.
- a threshold e.g. 40%-50% of its maximum rpm
- This fault detection principle is the result of a systematic approach for identification of fault principles and decision rules for low refrigerant charge detection.
- This approach applies several statistical classification techniques to pre- processed field trial data as described below.
- the pre-processing involves application of a data filtering process whose objective is to zoom into parts of the data that carry most information about the fault event of interest.
- the data filtering process decomposes a time-axis into time intervals during which "interesting" transient or steady state behavior occurs.
- Compressor speed (rpm) denoted by v ⁇ t) at time t , is used as the base-signal for filtering.
- the base signal is the signal whose temporal behavior is used to decompose the time axis as explained more closely below.
- Each element, I k ' is a closed time interval
- T k is the superset of all other overlapping closed
- I k ' +l denoted by b(I k ' +l ) .
- HP( ⁇ ,v) F(0, ⁇ ,v) where ⁇ is small to medium, constructs a high-pass
- Intervals C and E are segmented out by 5P(I 5 Z 5 IOO 0 Zo) .
- An interval F is segmented out by LP(4,100%) .
- the time-axis is repeatedly decomposed into three disjoint sets of intervals characterized by high-pass, band-pass, and low-pass conditions using average speed of base compressors as the base signal and various filtering parameters. Each filtering results in a decomposition of time similar to the illustration in Figure 2. For each repetition of the filtering process, the three disjointed data sets were analyzed based upon a set of statistical techniques consisting of sensor (variable) selection, calculation of distance between no-fault and full-fault data sets, and fault pattern discovery.
- the fault detection principal for low system refrigerant charge is converted into an algorithm for low system refrigerant charge detection and implemented by calculating a low system refrigerant charge indicator over a batch of data of fixed length.
- the batch of data contains the most recent data points that have passed through the filter up to a point determined by its fixed length. As more data points become available, they replace the oldest data points, keeping the length of the data batch fixed.
- a low system charge indicator within each batch is calculated by finding the fraction of points within the batch for which the PMV opening is above a threshold or the suction pressure is below a threshold. The calculated low system charge indicator is assigned to the time associated with the batch.
- Figure 3 is a flow chart detailing an example charge leakage calculation. In this flow chart:
- ⁇ (t) is a binary indicator that assumes one or zero. ⁇ (t) is equal to one only
- t belongs to an analysis period of interest, a set of all intervals picked by the designed filter, and under a cooling mode operating condition (excluding compressor protection conditions).
- a batch of data, B always keeps the most recent time points for which ⁇ (t) - 1 .
- a fixed number of points NB in the batch are set by a user.
- values for the MMS application are 24x60 or 12x60.
- ⁇ represents a sampling time
- ⁇ should be larger than the data collection sampling time (in MMS case 1 minute), but may be selected larger to accelerate computations.
- Refrigerant flow is proportional to an opening associated with the PMV.
- T 0 is an indoor air temperature
- Tc J is a middle of
- Tc 1 is a temperature of the superheated refrigerant flowing out of the indoor unit heat exchangers 26 and PMV is an actuation signal of the pulse modulated expansion valves 34A and 34B .
- the measurement points T a ,Tc ⁇ ,Tc are respectively
- the data filtering process for calculation of the air filter plugging indicator is much simpler than the data filtering process for low system refrigerant charge indicator calculation.
- the calculation of the air filter plugging indicator involves capturing sensor data that satisfies basic regularity principles needed for application of log mean temperature and energy balance in the cooling mode operations.
- the filter ⁇ is set to one at each time point if T 0 > Tc .,Tc x > Tc j , PMV larger than a
- FANTAP is equal to a mode for which the calculation is performed.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart detailing an example air filter plugging calculation. In this flow chart:
- ⁇ (t) is a binary indicator that assumes one or zero.
- ⁇ (V) is equal to one only
- t belongs to an analysis period of interest, a set of all intervals picked by the designed filter, and under a cooling mode operating condition (excluding compressor protection conditions).
- a fixed number of points NB in the batch are set by a user.
- values for the MMS application are 24x60 or 12x60. • ⁇ (B) denotes a number of elements of B.
- ⁇ represents a sampling time
- ⁇ should be larger than the data collection sampling time (in MMS case 1 minute), but may be selected larger to accelerate computations.
- Figure 5 and Figure 6 show an algorithm response to induced low system refrigerant charge conditions for a first example MMS and a second example MMS respectively.
- Both example MMS's include one outdoor unit and five indoor units which were designed to meet the cooling and heating demands of two office rooms and two conference rooms.
- the thresholds that were optimized for the first system were directly applied to a data set of the second system without any further tuning. In other words, the first system data set was used for "algorithm training" while the second system data was used for validation.
- the plots illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the value of a low system refrigerant charge indicator as a function of the number of data batches processed by the algorithm.
- the data batches are ordered chronologically.
- the low system refrigerant charge indicator for each batch of data is calculated by finding a percentage of points within the batch for which an opening associated with the PMV is larger than a pre-determined threshold or a suction pressure is smaller than a pre-determined threshold.
- the variation in intensity of the plot line represents an actual charge averaged over all the points in the batch of data.
- AAF average actual fault
- FIG. 7 plots a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the low system refrigerant charge detection algorithm.
- ROC is a widely used tool for assessment of the performance of detection algorithms independent from a detection threshold.
- ROC plots detection rate (hit rate) of an algorithm as a function false alarms (false positives) generated by the algorithm. Detection rate or hit rate measures the probability of the low system refrigerant charge indicator raising an alarm given a failure event actually happens. False alarm or false positive measures the probability of indicating a failure when no failure is actually present.
- An ideal ROC curve will have 100% detection rate for any positive false alarm.
- ROC may be calculated by changing the detection threshold from its minimum to its maximum possible value, calculating a false alarm-detection rate pair for each chosen detection threshold, and plotting the calculated pairs.
- each point on the ROC curve is associated with one threshold value.
- Figure 8 and Figure 9 show an algorithm response to induced air filter plugging at a high wall unit and a 4-way unit respectively.
- the presented results are based on data collected from a first system at a high fan speed.
- the plots show a value of an air filter plugging indicator as a function of a number of data batches processed by the algorithm (ordered chronologically).
- a variation in intensity of the plot line represent the actual average fault (AAF), defined similarly above. For instance, if 40% of the points within the batch have 50% plugging while the rest have no plugging (0% plugging), the AAF for that batch will be 20%. From this plot, one may deduce that a value of the air filter plugging indicator above 15 would flag plugging conditions.
- Figure 10 plots a ROC for the air filter plugging detection algorithm.
- AAF a faulty condition for a batch of data
- AAF ⁇ 5% The absence of fault for the data batch
