Abstract
In recent years, the change in eating habits of the population caused an increase in demand for food ready for consumption. This phenomenon has greatly increasing the use of refrigeration systems and food conditioning through the cold. It is clear also that the vapor compression refrigeration systems are big energy consumers, especially in secondary and tertiary sectors, and in recent years, mathematical and computational models have been applied to these systems to analyze their operating conditions and improve their efficiency. Thus, using a mathematical model of a refrigeration system will be obtained operating data with and without the presence of degradation of their main components (compressor, condenser, expansion device and evaporator). The objective of this study is to test a classifier based on computational intelligence about its performance in diagnosing the state of the refrigeration system under analysis. Through this work, it is expected to have a way to establish a prognosis of the refrigeration system behavior, which can be used as a tool to assist in the monitoring of refrigeration facilities, as well as conducting an operational analysis of the entire system.
