The failure of water chiller will cause a series of problems such as increasing energy consumption, decreasing comfort of users and decreasing life of equipment. The fault diagnosis of the chiller has an important role in the stable operation of the air conditioner. In order to improve the fault diagnosis level of water chillers and solve the problems of difficulty in determining the parameters of neural network and great randomness, this paper presents a fault diagnosis method of long short-term memory (LSTM) network based on whale optimization algorithm (WOA) optimization. The fault diagnosis performance was verified by RP-1043 dataset, and compared with the results of recurrent neural network (RNN) and BP neural network. The results show that the WOA-LSTM method can effectively identify five typical chillers, and the diagnostic accuracy is as high as 99.27%. Compared with RNN and BP neural network, the proposed method is helpful to detect faults as early as possible and reduce the loss. It is especially obvious to improve the detection efficiency of small faults and complex faults.
