Figure 4-19 shows one frame after the condenser fouling fault was removed (step<br />

5 of section 4.2.3.1). It can be seen from FFSW that the paper covering the condenser<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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