A low carbon defrost system.

Number: pap. 2157

Author(s) : DAVIES T., CAMPBELL R., THANGAMANI V.

Summary

A new defrost system is described which is virtually energy-free and has the additional advantage of minimizing temperature excursions in the frozen food during and after defrost. This novel defrost system has been tested in a frozen food retail display cabinet and a frozen food walk-in store. In both instances the defrost was normally carried out using electric resistance heaters. The test procedures are described and the test results are presented. In both tests it was demonstrated that the new defrost system saves virtually all the energy used by the conventional electric defrost systems.
