Abstract: This paper proposes a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) approach to the nonlinear model of the intensified heat exchanger system locally and globally. It implements the optimal performances monitoring on both internal dynamics of each component and the global system. FDD of the actuator is triggered once faults occur. The recognition of cause and effect relationship between unexpected temperature behaviour and internal variables of the faulty control valves are investigated. Simulations are considered to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Keywords: fault diagnosis; control valve; intensified process; local fault filter; global performance monitoring; interconnected observer; invertibility; input reconstruction; local faulty variable identification.
