Abstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to make feature extraction from the vast data pool, and the PCA+SVM (support vector machine) model was established for the fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) of refrigeration systems. Considering that SVM can not be used to solve multiclass classification problems directly, several classical multiSVMs algorithms were analyzed and compared, and the “One vs others” algorithm was adopted. The hybrid PCASVM FDD model was presented and validated by the historical data from specially designed experiments. The results show that it can isolate normal from faulty modes (detection) and has a diagnostic rate of no less than 98.57%, which is better than the SVM model without PCA; model training is about 130—350 times faster than the latter; it also has better performance on dealing with small sample problem than BP neural network with higher diagnostic rate and much less training time (about 1/240).

Key words: refrigeration system, fault diagnosis (FD), principal component analysis (PCA), support vector machine (SVM)
