Description
Parameter configuration
Compressor
stopping
The compressor stops and defrost is carried out statically.
H
Defrost type: Resistances
X
Fans state during defrost: Disconnected
By air
The fans are activated and the compressor stops, defrost is
carried out forcing the movement of air through the
evaporator.
H
Defrost type: Resistances
X
Fans state during defrost: Connected
By resistances
The defrost resistances are activated and the compressor stops,
defrost is carried out by the heat supply from the resistances.
H
Defrost type: Resistances
X
Fans state during defrost: Disconnected
By Cycle
inversion
A 4-way valve is activated that inverts the cooling generator
circuit and the compressor starts up, forcing the defrost.
H
Defrost type: Reverse cycle
X
Fans state during defrost: Disconnected
By simple
hot gas
A valve is activated that sends the discharge from the
compressor to the evaporator inlet. Using check valve
prevents the hot gas from returning along the liquid line.
