Our system is currently under heavy load due to increased usage. We're actively working on upgrades to improve performance. Thank you for your patience.
The disadvantage of the defrosting determination criterion of time-coil temperature was theoretically analyzed and experimentally verified. Considering the different characteristics of variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system (VRF AC) from the common air conditioners, the defrosting criterion model of time-coil temperature-condensation temperature has been built. In this model, there exist four temperature regions based on different frosting characteristics at different ambient temperatures, i.e., T ao (• C) ∈ (− ∞ , − 9], (− 9, 0], (0, 4], (4, 21]. The relations between the defrosting judgment temperatures and ambient temperatures have been determined by experiments. And the minimum defrosting cycle when T ao (• C) ∈ (− 9, 21] and T ao (• C) ∈ (− ∞ , − 9] were respectively determined to be 60 min and 90 min by experiments. Moreover, the defrosting accumulative coefficient, the defrosting judgment time constant and the restriction of the condensation temperature have been introduced into the model. Thus the complete criterion model can avoid delayed and premature defrosting, even false defrosting and inaccessible defrosting. A large number of experiments have verified the feasibility of the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
