Figure 2-13 Outputs of the FDD demonstration after introduction of low refrigerant<br />

charge fault<br />

Figure 2-14 shows one frame after 30% of the condenser area was covered by<br />

paper (step 2 of section 2.2.1). The “Field <strong>Fault</strong> Simulation Window (FFSW)”shows that<br />

some part of the condenser area was covered by paper. FDDW indicates that there existed<br />

two faults: refrigerant low charge with the fault severity around 0.45 <strong>and</strong> condenser<br />

fouling with the fault severity around 0.4. Since the overall per<strong>for</strong>mance degradations<br />

were less than 20% at this moment (see SPSDW <strong>and</strong> FDDRW), service was not<br />

recommended (see FDDRW).<br />
