Defrost
For efficient operation of refrigerator, we needs to do
defrost to eliminate the ice on the evaporator.

1 Periodic defrost

ex) 20 minutes defrost every 4 hours

2 Defrost ends according to the evaporator temperature

ex) Defrost to finishes = evaporator temperature > 7 ℃ There are several


types of defrost.
Controlling many equipment

The compressor shall run soon after the solenoid valve is open.

A periodic defrost shall be configured every 120 minutes for 20 minutes. (For
the easy simulation, period and duration of defrost shall be 10 seconds.)

There should be 1 more defrost finish condition. If the evaporator’s


temperature is higher than 7.0 ℃, the defrost shall be stopped and restart
compressor and open solenoid valve.

Let’s do practice.

Simulation
Include visualization

We will study how to do simulation after finishing coding. And we will do it with visual method by
using visualization function of CODESYS.
