Wireless Diagnostics and Control of HVAC Systems
- Summary
- Researchers at Purdue University have developed a wireless diagnostics system for motors in HVAC and refrigeration systems. This system measures the efficiency of the motor's operation and communicates this information directly to the manufacturer while in use, allowing manufacturers to process and fix the unit before it becomes apparent. If applicable, the manufacturer can add the fix to the next batch of manufactured products. This system takes less work to produce more accurate results and a wealth of data.

- *Abstract
-
- *Background
- The manufacture of large heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems creates a maintenance problem. For routine maintenance or diagnostics, technicians connect a handheld communicator to a poorly placed hookup on the main system for accurate analysis. Some units need to be maneuvered or maneuvered around to connect the communicator. Another drawback to HVAC design is the use of the motor's purpose. Currently, motor diagnostics sense whether or not the motor is running as opposed to the revolving speeds or the pulling amperage. These problems can be easily addressed.
