Experimental Investigation for Dynamic Characteristics of Defrosting Process and Effect on Freezer Compartment Temperature in Domestic Frost-Free Refrigerator
The defrosting process of a frost-free refrigerator is investigated experimentally
and the effect on the freezing compartment temperature is analyzed. The results show that in the pre-heating stage of the defrosting
the bottom temperature of the evaporator firstly rises to 0 ℃
and the freezing compartment temperature almost remains unchanged because the evaporator is blocked up by frost. In the melting-frost stage
the frost on the evaporator bottom begins to melt firstly and totally melts 8 min earlier than that on the top of the evaporator because the defrost heater is placed under the evaporator and the frost distribution is non-uniform
in fact
the frost on the evaporator top is greatly thinner than that on the bottom. During this stage
the frost melting results in increasing flow area between adjacent fins and the freezing compartment temperature gently rises by 5.7 ℃ in 9.34 min. In the draining-water stage beyond 0 ℃
the top-right temperature of the evaporator gets higher than the top-left temperature because the embossment of the air-supply duct of the refrigerating compartment leads to the warm air gathering there
and at the end of this stage the temperature difference between them increased significantly to 17.1 ℃. The freezing compartment temperature sharply rises by 6.6 ℃ in 6.5 min because the flow area increases to the maximum.
