Summary

Due to the factors such as equipment fault, component wear, and unplanned maintenance, HVAC systems often operate at low energy efficiency, increasing energy consumption, failing to control temperature and humidity, and even causing equipment component damage. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the fault diagnosis for HVAC systems. However, most current machine learning methods are black-box models and extremely hard to interpret or explain, although they have a good performance in fault diagnosis. To fill the gap of poor interpretability of the machine learning algorithm used in HVAC fault diagnosis, this study proposes a novel method based on SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanation) value, which can visualize the fault diagnosis criteria and show the impact of input variables on the fault diagnostic results, to explain the machine learning method. The proposed method has been verified on the actual chiller and can achieve high diagnostic accuracy for several faults.
