A fault diagnosis system has been developed to enable DHC facilities to

These facilities used river water for heat rejectionTo minimize cost. the tvo heat pumps mainly use electric pover at Fig.1 and heat absorption for heat pump for the first time in Japan. ( I 'DHC facilities are provided for public utility. Their purposes are to save energy, to maintain the environment. and to equalize electric pover consumption etc.. They are compased of heat pumps for producing heat, storage tanks for storing hot and chilled rater. rater pumps for supplying buildings vith hot and chilled water. and di s t r i bu t ion pipes.The cooling capability of heat pump, and the condenser pressure are varied by the temperature and flow rate of the cooling water. The supply pumps operating at a particular time and their flow rate are also varied according to the load. Therefore, high sensitivity can not be realized by fault monitoring vith a fixed threshold. making it difficult to detect a malfunction early.night. Of the each four chilled-rater and hot-water pumps, three-are constarst speed pumps which are controlled stepwise. and the other is an inverter pump which strictly controls the supply pressure.Many kinds of faults exist and the requirements of fault diagnosis 1) Check mainly the process. but additionally the machine are as follows.character istks.-2) Predict the fault based on the detected symptom. 3) Guide the administration according to the cause and seriousness of the fault. From this viewpoint. we diagnosed the causes of reduced capability. pressure malfunction. etc., and judged their seriousness.This nev fault diagnosis system uses a causeeffect tree diagraa to find the causes of faults, and introduces.an analytical method for judging the malfunction rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
