US Patent Issued to Schneider Electric USA on June 30 for "Monitoring HVAC and R performance degradation using relative COP from joint power and temperature relations" (North Carolina Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,669,253, issued on June 30, was assigned to Schneider Electric USA Inc. (Boston).

"Monitoring HVAC and R performance degradation using relative COP from joint power and temperature relations" was invented by Paul R. Buda (Raleigh, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for monitoring an HVAC&R system employ a monitoring agent that uses observations of evaporator and condenser intake temperatures, evaporator discharge temperature, and a compressor input power parameter to learn operating characteristics of the HVAC&R system in newly maintained condition. Thereafter, the agent continuously or regularly computes a relative ...
