DEFROST HEATER
The heart of the defrost system is
the defrost control. The most
common control is a mechanical
defrost timer which is a motorized
device that opens and closes
several electrical contacts. Each
contact can be thought of as a simple light switch but instead of a light, one
connects the defrost heater circuit, another connects the cooling system. When one
of these is switched on, the other is switched off. A motor on the timer (NOT
illustrated) turns a cam that opens and closes these contacts at set intervals (see
below for other types).
When the pressure in discharge line raise above a certain limit of pressure, high
pressure control device operates and stops the compressor by cutting the power
supply given to the motor input.
