Abstract

In a heat pump unit that uses a refrigeration cycle and operates between a cold source (Sf) consisting of ambient air and a hot source (Sc), evaporator defrosting is operated on the base of external air temperature (TL) and pressure (PE) and/or temperature (TE) of the coolant gas in the evaporator, as reference parameters
