the system requires more refrigerant, the condenser requires cleaning, the filter/drier<br />

requires replacement <strong>and</strong> the compressor requires service.<br />

Figure 2-17 shows one frame after the condenser fouling fault was removed (step<br />

5 of section 2.2.1). It can be seen from FFSW that the paper covering the condenser was<br />

removed. FDDW indicates that there existed three simultaneous faults: refrigerant low<br />

charge with the fault severity over 0.60, liquid line restriction fault with the fault severity<br />

around 0.3 <strong>and</strong> compressor leakage fault with the fault severity around 0.8. Since both<br />

cooling capacity <strong>and</strong> COP were degraded 21% at this moment (see SPSDW <strong>and</strong><br />
