Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a defrosting system for a freezer or a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a defrosting system for a freezer or a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a defrosting system for a freezer or a refrigerator which detects an effective defrosting cycle by detecting a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of an evaporator, And a defrosting system using the defrosting period determination method.
Generally, refrigerated or freezing warehouses are kept in a refrigerated or frozen state so that the food is not damaged. In order to maintain the quality of the stored food, the temperature should be kept low.
Refrigeration or freezing systems applied to such refrigeration or freezing warehouses require a relatively large space to be evenly refrigerated or frozen, and it is also required to keep the storage temperature evenly within a set temperature range.
In this refrigeration or refrigeration system, refrigerant is circulated in the piping by the compressor, and when the liquid refrigerant expands in the expansion valve and flows in the evaporator, air is passed between the evaporator pins by the fan, and the refrigerant vaporized by the heat exchange is sucked into the compressor The cold air is spread in the cold store or the cold store, and is chilled or frozen.
In this process, the moisture contained in the air passes between the evaporator pins, and the air is blocked by adhesion to the pipes and the pins, thereby preventing the refrigeration or freezing.
In order to solve this problem, defrosting operation is performed to remove the gaps attached to the evaporator pins.
The defrosting methods include a natural gas generating method in which the refrigerator is stopped for a certain period of time, a hot gas degassing method in which hot gas is introduced, an electric heater is installed in the evaporator, Various methods such as a thermal spraying method and a spraying method in which water is sprayed and removed are proposed.
A currently used defrosting method is a method of performing a defrosting operation by driving a heater built in an evaporator at a predetermined time regardless of whether or not it is attached to the casting by using a timer.
Generally, the defrosting system using the timer is operated for 20 to 30 minutes every 4 to 6 hours, regardless of whether or not it is attached to the castle.
However, the conventional defrosting method using the timer has the following problems.
It is very unreasonable to adjust the defrost heater driving time according to the number of times of opening or closing the door of the refrigerator or the freezer door, In short, if the electric energy lost when the heater is activated and the heat generated by the heater are further driven, the refrigerator must be further driven, so that not only a serious loss of electric energy occurs but also frequent heater operation shortens the life of the heater, You must give.
In order to compensate for the above problem, when the wind generated from the fan motor passes through the evaporator, the amount of wind passing between the pin and the pin decreases and the strength of the wind is reduced. There is a method of driving the defrosting system by detecting the presence or absence of defrosting.
However, the above-described conventional defrosting method using wind pressure is a method which is mainly applied to a household refrigerator and is not suitable for a refrigeration or freezing warehouse for storing industrial or food products or agricultural and marine products. To realize this, a prefabricated product such as an evaporator is disassembled, The system configuration to detect the wind pressure is complicated and the wind pressure may cause a malfunction due to a subtle change depending on the opening and closing of the warehouse door or the amount of contents in the warehouse.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a defrosting apparatus and a defrosting apparatus, A defrost cycle determination method using a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of the evaporator, and a defrost system using the defrost cycle determination method.
In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a method for determining a defrost cycle period by an evaporator inlet / outlet temperature difference according to the present invention comprises the steps of (1) providing a temperature sensor at an inlet and an outlet of an evaporator and detecting an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the evaporator; 2) comparing a difference between an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of the detected evaporator with a predetermined temperature deviation, and determining a defrost cycle according to the comparison result.
At this time, when the temperature of the evaporator inlet / outlet detected becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature deviation difference, it is recognized by the temperature controller and the defrost heater is operated for a predetermined time.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a defrost system for defrosting a freezer or a refrigerator, the defrost system comprising: a defrost heater; and a heater installed in the evaporator, the temperature being generated between an inlet and an outlet of the evaporator, And a controller for determining the defrost cycle according to the temperature difference measured by the sensor and driving the defrost heater in accordance with the determined defrost cycle.
In this case, the sensor is preferably a temperature sensor installed at the front end and the rear end of the evaporator and measuring the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the evaporator, respectively.
The temperature sensor installed at the inlet of the evaporator is attached at a position of 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock on the pipe sectional view, and the temperature sensor installed at the outlet of the evaporator is between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock on the pipe sectional view, or between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock In the direction of the arrow.
Preferably, the controller is a temperature controller that receives the sensing signal of the temperature sensor and drives the defrost heater when the deviation between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the evaporator is equal to or greater than a preset temperature deviation.
The defrosting period determination method using the temperature difference of the evaporator inlet and outlet of the present invention and the defrosting system using the same have the following effects.
A temperature sensor is installed at the inlet and the outlet of the evaporator installed in the refrigerator or the freezer so that evaporation does not occur sufficiently in the evaporator when the frost is adhered to the pin of the evaporator and the suction pressure of the compressor is lowered and the evaporation temperature is further lowered, It is possible to efficiently and reliably defrost by determining that the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet is increased and determining the defrost cycle at a proper time.
In other words, by determining the defrosting cycle by cold temperature, defrosting can be reduced by 20 ~ 30 minutes every 4 ~ 6 hours, and 19% energy saving effect can be expected.
Also, the temperature change in the refrigerator or the freezer due to the defrost heater is minimized, which will help maintain the freshness of the stored product.
In addition, since the defrosting time is shortened, the service life of the heater rod can be prolonged corresponding to the amount of energy saving, and at the same time, the expensive compressor due to defective defrosting can be prevented from being damaged by liquid compression.
