DEFROSTING OF EVAPORATOR

The following 2 defrost methods are adopted in this unit and both of them are controlled automatically.

 Cycle defrost

To keep the chamber temperature stable, the compressor is cycled on and off. During “off” period any

frost on the evaporator is melted by energizing a defrost heater. This will not have any discernible effect

on the chamber temperature.

 Forced defrost

When the ambient humidity is high, or a large amount of damp product is being stored in the chamber,

there is a possibility that cycle defrost may not be enough to remove all of the frost on the evaporator. In

this case, a forced defrost is initiated when the defrost sensor detects the frost.

When the unit is operating under the forced defrost, the current chamber temperature and “dF” is

displayed alternately on the temperature display.

Once the forced defrost is completed, the normal operation resumes. Note the temperature of blood bag

(400 mL) in the chamber rises by approximately 1 oC during the forced defrost.
