Patent ID: 10309713

Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for scheduling defrost events and linking refrigeration circuits in a refrigeration system are described herein. One method includes receiving, by a computing device, a number of defrost events per day for a refrigeration circuit, a duration for each of the number of defrost events, a start time for an initial one of the number of defrost events, and a maximum number of concurrent defrost events for the refrigeration system, determining, by the computing device, a defrost event schedule for the refrigeration circuit based on the number of defrost events per day, the duration for each of the number of defrost events, the start time for the initial one of the number of defrost events, and the maximum number of concurrent defrost events, receiving, by the computing device, an adjustment to the determined defrost event schedule, and updating, by the computing device, the defrost event schedule based on the adjustment.
