Back to basics: defrost.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

This article focuses on techniques for removing accumulated frost on air-cooling evaporators in industrial refrigeration applications. Although it reviews alternative approaches to defrosting coils, its focus is on the use of hot-gas for defrost - including sequences of operation during defrost. The article concludes with a discussion of the parasitic energy effects associated with the defrost process with an eye toward using this information to optimize systems.
