Defrosting is done for efficient operation of the refrigerator. It is the removal of a thick ice layer which forms on evaporator due to the freezing of moisture. Period of defrosting depends upon the type of evaporator, nature of installation and method used for defrosting

Methods of Defrosting

Manual Defrosting: The simplest method of defrosting is to shut down the system and wait to start until the evaporator warms up enough to melt the accumulated frost. The major drawback of this system is long defrosting period.

Other defrosting methods are:

  • Water defrost system
  • Electrical Defrosting
  • Hot gas defrosting
