Initially, the freezer compressor will cycle-
run for twelve hours, after which the
microprocessor sends the signal to the
defrost relay on the control board to close.
This supplies power to the defrost heater,
and the compressor is switched off. With
the “Adaptive Defrost” technique, the
length of time that the heater stays on to
heat the evaporator to 52°F is observed
by the microprocessor via the evaporator
thermistor.
NOTE:
The defrost terminator in a
700BF/I-2 is there only to prevent the
defrost heater from staying energized too
long, in the event of an evaporator ther-
mistor failure.
The microprocessor then determines the
number of hours before the next defrost.
If the heater stays on for a shorter time
than specified, the microprocessor
increases the next defrost interval. If the
heater stays on longer than specified, the
electronic control decreases the next
defrost interval.
an ongoing process whereby the defrost
time and the defrost interval will vary by
unit use.
NOTE:
A five minute time delay/dwell fol-
lows all defrosts. At the end of the five
minute dwell, the compressor is ener-
gized, but the evaporator fan will not be
energized until the evaporator temperature
falls below 35°F (2°C).
NOTE:
The minimum defrost interval is six
hours; the maximum defrost interval is
forty-two hours; the maximum defrost
duration is twenty minutes.
