Modular refrigeration unit health monitoring
First Claim
1. A method for modular refrigeration unit (MRU) health monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving log data from the MRU on a log data input by a MRU health monitor, the log data comprising a plurality of datapoints, each of the plurality of datapoints comprising a position of a control valve of the MRU and a corresponding time;
determining by the MRU health monitor a plurality of MRU parameters from the log data;
determining a plurality of MRU health flags based on the MRU parameters;
adding the plurality of MRU health flags to determine an MRU health score;
determining whether the MRU health score is higher than a replacement threshold; and
indicating replacement of the MRU in the event the MRU health score is higher than the replacement threshold, wherein the plurality of MRU health flags comprises an overtemperature recovery (OTR) rate flag, a control valve position increase flag, control valve position average flag, an expected operating threshold flag, and an OTR flag, and wherein each of the MRU health flags is set to one of zero and one based on the log data.

9. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing computer code that, when executed by a computer, implements a method for modular refrigeration unit (MRU) health monitoring, wherein the method comprises:
-
receiving log data from an MRU, the log data comprising a plurality of datapoints, each of the plurality of datapoints comprising a position of a control valve of the MRU and a corresponding time; determining by a plurality of MRU parameters from the log data; determining a plurality of MRU health flags based on the MRU parameters; adding the plurality of MRU health flags to determine an MRU health score; determining whether the MRU health score is higher than a replacement threshold; and indicating replacement of the MRU in the event the MRU health score is higher than the replacement threshold, wherein the plurality of MRU health flags comprises an overtemperature recovery (OTR) rate flag, a control valve position increase flag, control valve position average flag, an expected operating threshold flag, and an OTR flag, and wherein each of the MRU health flags is set to one of zero and one based on the log data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
