Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0345098A2] A defrost monitor (24) comprises a thermistor probe (26) located adjacent to the evaporator (14) of a refrigeration system (10) which is connected to a programmable controller (28) located within the monitor (24) to which is connected a second thermistor probe (30) for detecting temperature rises above a preset value entered into the controller (28) and during defrost of the refrigeration system (10) the programmable controller (28) assesses the rate of change of temperature between given preset values and if the rate of change indicates defrost will activate a valve (22A) and heater (32) thereby assisting defrost or initiate an alarm or the like where the rate of change is irregular or the temperature remains between the two preset values thereby indicating a refrigeration fault.
