In refrigeration control and monitoring, systems like the Danfoss Adap-Kool® have hundreds of sensors to collect performance and environmental data that we might need at any time tuning refrigeration equipment or satisfying health department requirements. Such systems also include alarms that warn of conditions that are or might be dangerous to the safety or healthfulness of stored products.
Research at the Danfoss refrigeration laboratories has led to new ways for analyzing and using sensor information, and we now have algorithms to predict with some certainty when a specific kind of equipment malfunction will occur.
