Title: Method for checking the functions of a plurality of fans
Inventor: JEANNETEAU LAURENT
IPC: F04D27/00
Filed: 2016-02-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for checking the functions of fans (12, 14, 16) within an ensemble of a plurality of fans (12, 14, 16). Said method comprises the following steps of starting a normal operation mode (76), detecting or evaluating a fan monitoring signal (F) depending on the speeds of the fans (12, 14, 16), starting a dynamic fan checking routine (78), in which the fan monitoring signal (F) is compared with a lock threshold value (THR_L; D2_THR, D3_THR). If the fan monitoring signal (F) is smaller than the lock threshold value (THR_L), then the dynamic fan checking routine (78) is finished and the normal operation mode (76) is set forth. If the fan monitoring signal (F) is bigger than the lock threshold value (THR_L), then the dynamic fan checking routine (78) is finished and a multiple-fan checking routine (80) is started. Consecutive fan tests (84, 86, 88) corresponding with one single fan (12, 14, 16) in each case are performed during the multiple-fan checking routine (80), wherein during each fan test (84, 86, 88) the corresponding fan (12, 14, 16) is activated for a predetermined time period, while the other fans (84, 86, 88) are deactivated during said time period, and wherein during each fan test (84, 86, 88) the fan monitoring signal (F) is compared with the lock threshold value (THR_L) and a disconnecting threshold value (THR_D). If the fan monitoring signal (F) is bigger than the lock threshold value (THR_L), then the corresponding fan (12, 14, 16) is locked and an error is detected. If the fan monitoring signal (F) is smaller than the disconnecting threshold value (THR_D), then the corresponding fan (12, 14, 16) is disconnected and an error is detected.
