Fault Event
The fault detection system identified a drop in cooling capacity and performance from RTU-5, located on the facility’s rooftop. It quickly alerted the HVAC team to the anomaly.
Resolution
The HVAC team discovered a major leak in the condenser coil of Circuit #2, which had rendered that circuit inoperable, cutting the unit’s capacity in half. They gathered the required materials and repaired the coil.
The AC unit was restored to full operation in less than two hours.
Takeaways
Automated HVAC fault detection enabled quick identification and resolution of the refrigerant leak, preventing further damage and avoiding costly downtime.
If left unresolved, the leak could have led to complete unit failure and major service disruption.
