Abstract

This study presents six data mining techniques for prediction of coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigeration equipment. These techniques include artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), classification and regression tree (CART), multiple regression (MR), generalized linear regression (GLR), and chi-squared automatic interaction detector (CHAID). Based on COP values, abnormal situation of equipment can be evaluated for refrigerant leakage. Experimental results from cross-fold validation are compared to determine the best models. The study shows that data mining techniques can be used for accurately and efficiently predicting COP. In the liquid leakage phase, ANNs provide the best performance. In the vapor leakage phase, the best model is the GLR model. The models built in this study are effective for evaluating refrigeration equipment performance.
