A system and method that determines whether a heat exchanger within a complex networked system is fouling is provided. The system and method includes training classifiers indicative of a plurality of fouling conditions associated with the heat exchanger and testing the classifiers with optimal sensor data from optimal sensors to determine whether the fouling is being experienced by the heat exchanger.

A hierarchical fault detection and isolation system, method, and/or computer program product that facilitates fault detection and isolation in a complex networked system while reducing the computational complexity and false alarms is provided. The system, method, and/or computer program product utilizes a system level isolation and detection algorithm and a diagnostic tree to systematically isolate faulty sub-systems, components, etc. of the complex networked system.
