1. A method comprising:
- installing a compressor in a refrigeration system;
generating first high-side signals indicative of high-side compressor operating conditions for a time period following installation of said compressor;
generating first low-side signals indicative of low-side compressor operating conditions for said time period following installation of said compressor;
generating a performance curve for said compressor based on said first high-side signals and said first low-side signals;
generating second high-side signals indicative of high-side compressor operating conditions after said time period;
generating second low-side signals indicative of low-side compressor operating conditions after said time period; and
comparing said second high-side and said second low-side signals to said performance curve to determine a system operating condition.

Abstract
A method includes determining base-line operating parameters for a compressor, generating a high-side signal indicative of high-side compressor operating conditions, generating a low-side signal indicative of low-side compressor operating conditions, and comparing the high-side and low-side signals to the base-line operating parameters to determine a system operating condition.
