HVAC predictive maintenance begins with consistent condition measurements and a useful history. Filter differential pressure can show a change in airflow resistance, while fan vibration and coil or air temperatures can provide additional context when suitable sensors are fitted. Confirm the available points and sensor installation before defining an alert.
Compare a change with the unit’s operating state. A stopped fan, a closed damper and a loaded filter can produce different combinations of readings. Trend thresholds should prompt an inspection or maintenance review; failure diagnosis still requires the maintenance team to review the equipment and its operating context.
Give each AHU, fan and sensor a stable identifier and record the service activity against its history. The maintenance team can then compare conditions before and after a filter change or equipment repair. Keep the controller’s local interlocks and equipment protections in the control design.
