Ideas

In speaking with Chip, we discussed a method to measure compressor charge time.  This is important for meeting the need of determining the integrity of the high pressure system when determining worn out compressors, excessive system leaks and compressor cut on and cut off settings.  If the EPR setting the application sets the electronic EPR to is passed to ThingWorx and logged then compressor charge times could be determined by excluding times when the unit is processing scripts.

We get customer calls for compressor over temps often and with the ThingWorx alert for compressor temps over 136 degrees, we realized there were many sites that are having high pressure performance concerns all centered around excessive air pressure usage.  Normally, this is from poorly configured HPAC cells with above average count rates.  This extra wear degrades the compressor and shortens the life dramatically.  

The goal is to add in this new parameter and combine this with existing tank values to formulate compressor charge times to set a threshold for replacing compressors when needed.
