53 2 CASE STUDIES In order to validate the decoupling-based approach, three cases studies are provided in this chapter. Section 2.1 presents an initial case study to validate the decoupling scheme for a 3-ton fixed orifice rooftop unit. Section 2.2 presents an FDD demonstration of multiple-simultaneous faults for a 5-ton TXV rooftop unit installed at the Purdue field site. Section 2.3 provides results for California field sites. 2.1 Case Study of Decoupling Rooftop Unit Faults Data gathered by Breuker (1997) under controlled conditions in a laboratory were used to evaluate the decoupling scheme for a system with a short-tube expansion device. As described in Deliverables 2.1.3 & 2.1.4, five types of individual faults were artificially introduced at different fault levels and the unit was tested at different load levels with the unit cycling on and off. Although these five kinds of faults are individual instead of multiple-simultaneous faults, they can be used to test whether the proposed decoupling features for each fault are independent of fault and load levels and all other faults. 2.1.1 Compressor Valve Leakage Figure 2-1 illustrates the discharge line temperature residuals for different fault types with different fault and load levels obtained using predicted compressor power consumption and predicted refrigerant mass flow rate. It can be seen that only the compressor valve leakage fault has a significant influence on the discharge line temperature residual. The small fluctuations with other faults are caused by measurement 53
54 noise, system disturbances and modeling error. So, the coupling between compressor valve leakage and other faults is broken successfully using the discharge line temperature residual. However, there is still some room for improvement. For example, the discharge line temperature residual is impacted a little by large liquid-line restrictions. This may be caused by high suction line superheat at severe liquid-line restrictions, which results in a lower value of the compressor volumetric efficiency. However, this can be improved by improving the compressor model performance and finding some practical means to tune it, which will also eliminate the impact of other faults on the discharge line temperature estimation.
