For the management of air conditioning equipment in building management,
Various management techniques are required for temperature, humidity, dust, return air, disaster prevention, vibration, noise, airflow, corrosion, etc. Conventionally, management technology for such air conditioning equipment has largely depended on the personal experience, ability, and knowledge of maintenance personnel.As air conditioning equipment becomes more sophisticated and precision air conditioning control becomes more sophisticated, it has become increasingly difficult to manage it quickly and completely. There are limits to this. Especially in the management of buildings where precision air conditioning is required, such as computer rooms, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, etc., the importance of air conditioning equipment management is extremely high, and advanced management technology is required. Maintenance is an important issue, but there are problems in maintaining this through individual ability.

Generally, in normal building management, security equipment,
A control room is set up to centrally manage air conditioning equipment along with water supply and drainage equipment, electrical system maintenance, disaster prevention equipment, etc., and in many cases, air conditioning equipment is also incorporated into the central management system. In such systems, the main focus is on automatic control of various devices, and the system is usually not intended to be used for detecting defective parts or predicting failures for maintenance purposes. Furthermore, the personnel stationed in this central control room are rarely experts in air conditioning equipment, and therefore, it is not possible to expect them to provide qualified maintenance information.

For these reasons, there is a strong desire to develop a failure prediction system for air conditioning equipment that cannot tolerate defects or failures.

The present invention has been made with the aim of satisfying this requirement. As a system that effectively achieves this objective, the present invention provides a system that monitors the operating status of an air conditioner by inputting each detection signal from various sensors that detect the operating status of the air conditioner into a computer. As the detection signals, the current value of the blower motor (abbreviated as the blower current value in this specification) and the air flow rate, as well as the vibration and temperature of the blower motor while the air conditioner is in operation are selected, and the correlation value between the blower current value and the air flow rate is determined. Correlation information between failure cause items of the air conditioner and correlation information between vibration and temperature of the blower motor and failure cause items of the air conditioner are obtained in advance, and correlation information between the failure cause items of the air conditioner and the blower current value and air volume are determined in advance. When the detection signal or the vibration and temperature detection signal of the blower motor reaches a value corresponding to the defect cause item, the computer outputs the defect cause item and predicts the defect location before the air conditioner breaks down. The present invention provides a failure diagnosis method for air conditioners.

FIG. 1 shows the correlation between the blower current value and the air volume, which is used as a basis for detecting the cause of failure in various parts of the equipment from the operating state of the air conditioner. By monitoring the blower current value of an operating air conditioner as one input information and the air volume as the other input information, it is possible to classify the defective location based on the correlation between the two. For example, in some existing equipment, a band N (hatch area) of normal operation is determined as shown in Figure 1, but depending on the degree to which the correlation value of the two deviates from this band, If it shows a unique value, it is possible to classify where the cause of the defect exists.
