Abstract
This study is on a experiment which shows to defrost automatically on the optimum time regardless of defrosting method. The result shows that the more defrost layers increase in fin tubes of evaporation, the less the section of the circulating air reduce. Thickness of the frost formation increases, so a pressure difference of ventilation increase, as a result automatic defrosting system sets the time COP drops suddenly up optimum time. Automatical defrosting system can find out the initial related current of evaporator fan motor and the value of load current in the optimum time. And it sets defrosting time, evaporating temperature, and temperature in refrigerator up system requiring value. Consequence of this experiment is that energy consumption with defrost load gets effect of reduction of eleven percent per 25.4 hours compared with common defrosting.
