Are you looking for ways to minimize downtime in your HVAC system? Would you like enhanced awareness of potential maintenance problems before they reach a critical stage? condition-based monitoring (CBM) may be the solution you need.
CBM is a type of predictive maintenance strategy that uses sensors to continuously measure the status of equipment over time. CBM is not a new technology for predictive maintenance; however, it is new to implementation within variable frequency drives (VFD). When included as a software feature add-on in VFDs, CBM increases customers’ knowledge of what is happening in their systems so they can be notified of maintenance concerns prior to issues becoming critical, thereby reducing system downtime.
