Abstract

This paper reviewed FDD methods used in most engineering systems, including HVAC systems. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are compared. All system control and FDD strategies require accurate sensor measurements. In order to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of sensor measurements in HVAC systems, two sensor FDD strategies are developed for water sub-system and air sub-system according to their characteristics. One is the law-based strategy used in a typical central chilling plant, and the other is PCA (principal component analysis)-based strategy used in a typical air-handling unit (AHU). This paper introduces both strategies and presents validation results.
