A system-level fault detection and diagnosis method for low delta-T syndrome in the complex HVAC systems

Low delta-T syndrome widely exists in the existing air-conditioning systems and results in increased energy consumption. This paper presents a system-level fault detection and diagnosis method (FDD) to detect and diagnose the low delta-T syndrome resulted from the performance degradation of AHUs system and plate heat exchanger system in a complex HVAC system. Performance indices are introduced to characterize the health status (normal or faulty)...
