Performance detection method

Abstract

Proposed is a performance detection method for use in detection of performance characteristics of air conditioning equipment. The method includes, for the standard operational status for the air conditioning equipment, capturing a plurality of standard operational parameters to generate performance models; and, during the actual operational status, capturing a plurality of actual operational parameters for conducting analysis based on performance models so as to determine the performance characteristics of the air conditioning equipment and send out a warning when the performance characteristics of the air conditioning equipment are determined to be abnormal. The invention improves on the detection accuracy of prior techniques and enables effective control of air conditioning equipment that eventually saves electrical power and costs as a result.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a performance detection method, and more particularly, to a method for detecting the performance characteristics of air conditioning equipment with high accuracy.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]In recent years, electrical power consumption and demand are greatly increasing. However, electrical power generation can easily lead to environmental pollution, for example, carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming, so it is difficult to acquire land for building electrical power plants. The development of electrical power resources and the construction of power transmission and distribution systems cannot meet the demand for ever-growing electrical power consumption. Thus, electrical power supply is often insufficient, and measures are taken to limit electrical power consumption during the peak-demand periods, including higher energy rates during peak periods. As such, ...

Problems solved by technology

In recent years, electrical power consumption and demand are greatly increasing.

However, electrical power generation can easily lead to environmental pollution, for example, carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming, so it is difficult to acquire land for building electrical power plants.

The development of electrical power resources and the construction of power transmission and distribution systems cannot meet the demand for ever-growing electrical power consumption.

Thus, electrical power supply is often insufficient, and measures are taken to limit electrical power consumption during the peak-demand periods, including higher energy rates during peak periods.

According to statistics, air conditioning equipment consumes more power than most other kinds of electrical equipment.

However, air conditioning equipment is used in variable environments while the operational parameters provided by the manufacturers can only be used as a reference for a specific environment.

Therefore, the current detection method has low accuracy and cannot timely detect the operational circumstances of air conditioning equipment such that the use of the air conditioning equipment can be timely adjusted or maintenance can be flexibly and optimally arranged.
