Abstract
A method includes, accessing a first fill level timeseries generated by a first refrigeration system; detecting a first reduction in refrigerant fill level in the first refrigeration system; correlating the first reduction in refrigerant fill level with a first refrigerant; accessing a first discharge pressure timeseries; deriving a first correlation between a first leak-prediction characteristic of the first discharge pressure timeseries and the first refrigerant leak; accessing a discharge pressure timeseries generated by a second refrigeration system; in response to detecting presence of the first leak-prediction characteristic in the third discharge pressure timeseries, predicting a second refrigerant leak in the second refrigeration system; generating a notification identifying the second refrigerant leak in the second refrigeration system; and serving the electronic notification to an operator associated with the second refrigeration system.
