Figure 4-7 Decoupling evaporator fouling using measured refrigerant mass flow rate<br />

Figure 4-8 illustrates the evaporator air mass flow rate estimated using estimated<br />

refrigerant mass flow rate. As expected, the coupling from compressor valve leakage to<br />

evaporator fouling is not broken if refrigerant mass flow rate is estimated by compressor<br />

map. For the same reason as condenser fouling, unilateral decoupling is sufficient <strong>for</strong><br />

FDD application.<br />
