Using Mentor, an Expert System, to Perform Preventative Maintenance and Diagnostics on Centrifugal Chillers
Abstract
Mentor is an expert system which was developed and
introduced in 1986 assists service refrigeration techs to perform
the correct preventative maintenance (PM) and diagnostics on
centrifugal chillers at the right time. This expert system has
undergone several upgrades and enhancements since then.
This paper will discuss the human interface needs for this
application, the functional characteristics of the expert system,
the development environment and a case history of maintenance
on a chiller.
