An abnormality determination method for determining an abnormality of a transporting refrigeration apparatus installed on a container, the transporting refrigeration apparatus including a refrigerant circuit that connects a compressor, a condenser, a decompression device, and an evaporator, the abnormality determination method comprising:
- storing data related to operation of the transporting refrigeration apparatus in time order;
- extracting, from the data related to operation of the transporting refrigeration apparatus, time series test data related to at least one test operating mode used in pre-trip inspection that is conducted multiple times such that the at least one test operating mode is performed multiple times before the container is loaded on a transporting device;
- and
- determining whether the transporting refrigeration apparatus has an abnormality based on a change trend of the extracted time series test data,
- determining whether the transporting refrigeration apparatus has an abnormality based on the time series test data obtained in a predetermined first period and the time series test data obtained in a second period that differs from the first period,
- the abnormality determination method for determining the abnormality of the transporting refrigeration apparatus further comprising:
- calculating a deviation degree of the transporting refrigeration apparatus from a normal state based on the time series test data obtained in the pre-trip inspection, wherein
- calculating a first index value from the time series test data that are obtained in the first period and a second index value from the time series test data that are obtained in the second period,
- calculating a deviation state of the transporting refrigeration apparatus from the normal state based on the first index value and the second index value,
- determining whether the transporting refrigeration apparatus has an abnormality based on the deviation degree of the transporting refrigeration apparatus from the normal state, and
- when there is no abnormality, estimating an abnormality occurrence time.
