Power consumption determining device and method |
摘要 |
A device and method is provided for automatically defrosting a refrigeration system. The present invention includes a microprocessor which initiates a defrost cycle during a time of day which is most efficient for the refrigerator and the utility company. Moreover, the defrost cycle is initiated during a time of day which has the least impact on food stored within the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed and enabled so as to analyze the power consumption of the refrigerator during a 24 hour period, and from this analysis, the microprocessor is able to determine the time of day and period(s) of time which will be most efficient for the initiation of a defrost cycle.
