Abstract
A method of monitoring a volume index valve of a compressor is provided. The method includes recording a first reading of an operating condition of the compressor when the volume index valve is in a first position. The method also includes switching the volume index valve to a second position. The method further includes recording a second reading of the operating condition of the compressor when the volume index valve is in the second position. The method yet further includes calculating a difference between the first reading and the second reading. The method also includes comparing the difference to a predetermined threshold difference to determine if the volume index valve is moving between the first position and the second position in a desired manner.
