Analysis of Split-System Air Conditioner Faults through Electrical Measurement Data

This work presents an electrical measurement dataset from a split-system air conditioner in normal operating conditions and with specific faults, such as incrustation in the condenser and evaporator air inlet with different levels of blocking, which often occurs in this type of equipment. We also added compressor capacitor degradation, which is a very common fault in this type of equipment, although it is scarcely addressed in research. The data were obtained through a non-invasive current sensor and a grain-oriented voltage sensor containing the values of the current and voltage of equipment that was installed in the field and tested at different levels for these fault conditions. This work not only explains how the entire data collection process was carried out but also presents two examples of fast Fourier transform (FFT) applications for the detection and diagnosis of faults through the electrical measurements analyzed in our studies, which had good effectiveness.
