Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a defrosting method and device for a heat exchanger (evaporator) in a refrigeration or heat pump system. In addition to the first heat exchanger (evaporator), the system also includes at least one compressor, a second heat exchanger ( thermal suppressor) and an expansion device are operatively connected by piping to form an integral closed circuit. Background technique
[0002] In some applications, such as air source heat pumps or air coolers in refrigeration systems, when the ambient temperature is close to or below the freezing point of water, frost can form on the heat-absorbing heat exchanger (used as an evaporator). Due to the accumulation of frost, the heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger is reduced, and thus the system performance is reduced. Therefore a defrosting device is required. The most conventional defrosting methods are electric defrosting and hot gas defrosting. When the system has two or more ev...
