2.2.1 Field <strong>Fault</strong> Simulation Window<br />

For easy access, four faults were artificially introduced: refrigerant low charge,<br />

condenser fouling, liquid line restriction <strong>and</strong> compressor leakage. Since it is not accurate<br />

to discharge refrigerant using the recovery system, the refrigerant low charge fault was<br />

simulated by charging less refrigerant to the system be<strong>for</strong>e running rather than<br />

discharging some refrigerant during operation. The fault simulation procedures were<br />

divided into the following two stages: added four faults one by one <strong>and</strong> removed faults<br />

one by one. Figure 2-12 illustrates the timeline of the fault simulation.<br />
