RP-1043 -- Fault Detection And Diagnostic (FDD) Requirements And Evaluation Tools For Chillers PDF

The overall objective of this research project is to develop tools and data that will be used in the development and evaluation of FDD methods applied to chillers. The study will be limited to either screw or centrifugal chillers with continuous capacity control and water-cooled condensers. The bidder will specify the type (either screw or centrifugal) and size of chiller to be considered. For both screw and centrifugal chillers, the most important faults to be considered will identified. For the selected chiller type, a model will be developed and validated for simulating normal and faulty performance, and experimental data will be collected for normal and faulty chiller behavior. The deliverables from this project will be used in a future project in the evaluation of alternative FDD techniques.
