摘要:
An adaptive heat exchanger defrost system e.g. for a heat pump evaporator, incorporates a system controller which adapts the intervals between defrost cycles to prevailing conditions in order to improve overall efficiency. The time taken to complete a defrost cycle is measured and compared with the time taken for the preceding defrost cycle to determine whether it is appropriate to increase or decrease the interval between samplings of the operating parameter used to determine whether a defrost cycle is required.

摘要:
In one exemplar embodiment, an improved evaporating coil defrost control (28) for use in a refrigeration system is disclosed, and which includes a pair of thermostatically controlled switch contacts (42, 44) positioned adjacent the evaporator coil (14) and responsive to the temperature of the coil, the contacts being heated by a resistor or thermistor heater (46) to maintain the temperature of the contacts above a predetermined "low" temperature level. The refrigerator compressor (18) is operated through one of the normally closed switch contacts (42) when the switch (40) is maintained above the "low" temperature level. A defrost initiation means (48) de-energizes the heater (46) when defrost is necessary, permitting the thermostatically controlled switch contacts (42, 44) to cool below the "low" temperature level and closing the normally open switch contact (44) to actuate a defrost means (26) to defrost the evaporator coil (14). The defrost means (26) heats the evaporator coil (14) until the melting point of the frost or ice is reached to remove frost and ice, and in turn heats the switch contacts (42, 44) until a predetermined "high" temperature level is reached for changing the state of the switch (40) and re-energizing the compressor (18), cooling the evaporator coil (14), and de-energizing the defrost means (26). The resistor or thermistor heater (46) is re-energized to maintain the temperature of the thermostatically controlled switch contacts (42, 44) above the "low" temperature.
摘要:
Dans un mode exemplaire de réalisation, une commande améliorée de décongélation par serpentin d'évaporation (28) utilisée dans un système de réfrigération, comprend une paire de contacts de commutation commandés de manière thermostatique (42, 44) positionnés adjacents aux serpentins évaporateurs (14) et sensibles à la température du serpentin, les contacts étant chauffés par une résistance ou un radiateur à thermistor (46) pour maintenir la température des contacts au-dessus d'un niveau prédéterminé de "basse température". Le compresseur de réfrigération (18) fonctionne par l'intermédiaire d'un des contacts de commutation normalement fermé (42) lorsque le commutateur (40) est maintenu au-dessus du niveau de "basse" température. Un dispositif initiateur de la décongélation (48) met hors circuit le dispositif de chauffage (46) lorsque la décongélation est nécessaire, permettant aux contacts de commutation à commande thermostatique (42, 44) de refroidir jusqu'à un niveau inférieur au niveau de basse température, et fermant le contact de commutation normalement ouvert (44) pour actionner un moyen de décongélation (26) et décongeler le serpentin d'évaporation (14). Le moyen de décongélation (26) chauffe le serpentin d'évaporation (14) jusqu'à ce que le point de fusion du gel ou de la glace soit atteint pour enlever le gel et la glace, et ensuite chauffe le contact de commutation (42, 44) jusqu'à ce qu'un niveau prédéterminé de "haute" température soit atteint pour changer l'état du commutateur (40) et mettre en circuit le compresseur (18), refroidissant ainsi le serpentin d'évaporation (14) et mettant en circuit le moyen de décongélation (26). La résistance ou dispositif de chauffage à thermistor (46) est remis en circuit pour maintenir la température des contacts de commutation à commande thermostatique (42, 44) au-dessus de la "basse" température.

A system, apparatus, and method for determining when an amount of ice formed on an evaporator or evaporator grid has reached a predetermined size are illustrated. An acoustic transmitter an acoustic transmitter positioned proximate to the evaporator channels acoustic signals emanating from the evaporator or evaporator grid to an acoustic sensor, which generates an electronic signal indicative of the acoustic signal. A receiver module coupled to the acoustic sensor is configured to receive the electronic signal and determine that ice formed on the evaporator has reached a predetermined size based on the electronic signal.
