Hello dear colleagues,
Defrost control is a process used in refrigeration systems like cold air units and industrial refrigerators. The term "defrost" comes from the English words for "to thaw" or "to unfreeze". This process involves the removal of frost (ice) that has built up in the cooling unit.

As refrigeration systems operate, condensation forms water droplets on the evaporator coils of the cooling unit. Due to the low temperatures, these water droplets can freeze, forming a layer of ice. Over time, this ice layer thickens and impacts the cooling performance negatively. This ice layer can block airflow and prevent the cooling unit from effectively drawing in and dispersing heat.

For this reason, the cooling system is put into "defrost" mode at regular intervals. In this mode, the cooling process temporarily stops, and the system generates heat to melt the ice on the coils. After all the ice has melted, the cooling process restarts. This cycle ensures the efficient operation of the refrigeration device.

Defrost control manages when this defrost cycle will automatically occur. This usually happens at set time intervals or when a certain thickness of ice is detected. The defrost control manages this process automatically, ensuring the refrigeration system maintains optimal performance.
