Fault diagnosis of air-conditioning refrigeration system based on sparse autoencoder

摘要

To overcome the drawbacks of using supervised learning to extract fault features for classification and low nonlinearity of the features inmost of current fault diagnosis of air-conditioning refrigeration system, sparse autoencoder (SAE) is presented to extract fault features that are used as the input to the classifier and to achieve fault diagnosis for air-conditioning refrigeration system. The SAE structure is tuned by adjusting the number of hidden layers and nodes to build the optimal model, which is compared with the fault diagnosis model based on support vector machine. Results indicate that the indexes of the model combined with SAE, such as accuracy, precision and recall, are all improved, especially for the faults with high complexity. Besides, SAE shows high generalization ability with small-scale sample data and high efficiency with large-scale data. Obviously, the use of SAE can effectively optimize the diagnosis performance of the classifier.
