Diagnostic app that automatically correlates fault codes with logged pressures and temperatures to identify root cause

App Concept

SpacePak Fault Finder

An app that guides HVAC technicians step-by-step through SpacePak-specific diagnostic trees by logging system parameters (pressures, temperatures, switch states, fault codes) and using rule-based logic to suggest the most likely root cause. Replaces guesswork and cross-referencing manuals.

Key Features

Interactive diagnostic flowchart based on SpacePak fault codes
Data logging: record suction/head pressure, superheat, subcooling, ambient temp, switch resistance
Auto-analyze logged data and rank probable causes
Link to SpacePak service manuals and parts lookup

Target Users: HVAC field technicians working on SpacePak high-velocity systems at residential and light commercial sites

Revenue Model: $19.99 one-time purchase or $4.99/month subscription
