Summary

Refrigeration systems are crucial for food storage. Nowadays with the global warming affecting the temperatures worldwide, more efficient and robust systems must be designed to avoid a decay in the quality of food preservation. One of the problems that must be tackled in these systems is the frost formation on the evaporator, as it reduces the heat exchange and may clog the airflow. For accurate defrosting, the frost must be detected so that the defrosting process can accurately be started. In
the present work, a simple and cheap resistive sensor is further tested and developed in conditions that simulate a real case scenario. Strategies for a possible implementation are purposed.
