Hello dear colleagues,

In a refrigeration or HVAC system, defrost control is often governed by temperature values, which are used to initiate and stop the defrosting process. While the exact values can depend on the specifics of the system and environmental conditions, there are some general guidelines.

Typically, a defrost cycle might start when the temperature of the evaporator coil falls below freezing, which is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The cycle is then usually stopped when the temperature of the coil rises to a point where all the frost has likely melted, often around 4 to 7 degrees Celsius or 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Some systems might also use a timer in conjunction with these temperature values to regulate the defrost cycle.

It's important to note that these are approximate values and the exact temperatures can depend on many factors, including the design and settings of the system, the type and amount of refrigerant used, and the environmental conditions. Always refer to your system's manual or consult with a professional for the most accurate information.
