4.2.2.5 Output of the FDD Demonstration<br />

This section provides sample outputs of the FDD demonstration after each fault<br />

was added <strong>and</strong> removed (watch the movie <strong>for</strong> details). Figure 4-15 captures a movie<br />

frame when the system was running at low refrigerant charge (step 1 of section 4.2.3.1).<br />

The FDDW indicates that there existed a refrigerant low charge fault whose fault severity<br />

was around 0.45. The SPSDW plots the overall degradations, all of which were less than<br />

20%. The FDDRW summarizes indicators <strong>and</strong> generates the FDD report table <strong>and</strong><br />

recommended that “although there is (are) fault(s) with minor impacts on overall system<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance, it may be not worthwhile to service so far”.<br />
