Abstract

An adaptive heat exchanger defrost system e.g. for a heat pump evaporator, incorporates a system controller which adapts the intervals between defrost cycles to prevailing conditions in order to improve overall efficiency. The time taken to complete a defrost cycle is measured and compared with the time taken for the preceding defrost cycle to determine whether it is appropriate to increase or decrease the interval between samplings of the operating parameter used to determine whether a defrost cycle is required.
