Workarounds Described
- jumped Y1 and Y2 to force full load
- cannot visually inspect HX without full tear-down
Implied Software Gaps
- Remote chiller diagnostics and fouling detection using operating parameters
- Software that simulates capacity control stages to predict system behavior without physical jumping
App Concept
ChillerDiag AI
An AI-powered chiller diagnostics app that analyzes real-time operating data (pressures, temperatures, ambient conditions) to pinpoint root causes like fouling, refrigerant issues, or control faults. It provides actionable recommendations without requiring physical tear-down, reducing downtime and service costs.
Key Features
- Real-time data ingestion from sensors or manual entry
- AI diagnostic engine for common chiller faults
- Visual heat exchanger fouling probability indicator
- Step-by-step troubleshooting guide with diagrams
Target Users: HVAC field technicians and chiller service companies managing commercial and industrial chillers of all sizes.
Revenue Model: Freemium with $49/mo pro tier for unlimited diagnostics and detailed reports
