Abstract
An adaptive defrost system for a heat pump wherein the time-between-defrosts is continuously updated by multiplying the last time-between-defrosts by a ratio of the desired and actual differences between the pre-defrost and after-defrost saturated coil temperatures. A single thermistor is used for both pre and after-defrost measurements such that no calibration is required.
