FDDRW), FDDRW recommended that: the system requires more refrigerant, the<br />

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

Figure 2-17 Outputs of the FDD demonstration after removal of condenser fouling fault<br />

Figure 2-18 shows one frame after the liquid line restriction fault was removed by<br />

opening the liquid line restriction valve (step 6 of section 2.2.1). The final restriction<br />

valve position can be seen from FFSW (refer to Figure 2-15 <strong>for</strong> the fully closing position).<br />

FDDW indicates that there existed two simultaneous faults: refrigerant low charge with<br />

the fault severity over 0.35 <strong>and</strong> compressor leakage fault with the fault severity around<br />

0.8. Since COP was degraded 20% at this moment (see SPSDW <strong>and</strong> FDDRW), FDDRW<br />
