System Diagnostics
One of the major advantages of the DSOM system is its ability to monitor systems instead of just data points. DSOM has a library of diagnostic faults for both boilers and centrifugal chillers. Faults for air handlers soon will be added as they become more tested and reliable. DSOM's diagnostics are based on baseline models and load conditions for each piece of equipment. The models will learn the normal operation of a piece of equipment and then compare current operations to the baseline. The advantage is that the systems can effectively monitor performane over the full range of leading. Most current systems are only valid during fully loading conditions.
