Abstract :
The feasibility of a qualitative approach for detecting faults in an air-conditioning system is considered. The system considered is a multi-zone variable air volume air-handling unit, and the faults investigated include types which result in deterioration of operation, as distinct from actual failure. The operating modes of the sequential controller for the central air-handling plant can be matched to a corresponding qualitative classification of steady-state temperatures. Observed mismatches indicate the presence of faults. Trials of the method in an air-conditioning test laboratory are reported
