Abstract
The present application reveals a simplified method and a device for diagnosing performance of an air-conditioning system. The simplified method comprises determining a temperature differential or differentials between inlet and outlet temperatures of a condenser and/or between ambient and vent temperatures in the air-conditioning system; analyzing the differential or differentials to determine whether the air-conditioning system is properly functioning; and diagnosing performance of the air-conditioning system.
