Model-Based Diagnosis of Telecommunication Cooling Systems Malfunctioning
A model is developed that allows simulating the most-likely failures possibly occurring in freecooling (FC) systems of telecommunication (TLC) switching rooms. Main aim is to provide an effective and online implementable diagnosis method, which in turn will allow fulfilling the threefold function of...

Specifically in this work, obstruction (reduction of the volumetric flow of air introduced into the room) and loss of efficiency (degradation of the fan) are deepened. Two black-box sub-models were developed to simulate the above described faulty functioning of the free-coolers.
