Abstract:
Method for controlling defrosting of the outer exchanger of a heat pump machine, comprising the steps of: defining in the outer air temperature/evaporation temperature plane three zones; acquiring the outer air temperature and the evaporation temperature; individuating in which zone of the Taria_ext/T_evap plane the point falls, identified by the two acquired temperature measures; inverting the machine functioning cycle when the point falls in an unsafe zone; reducing the rotation speed of the compressor of said heat pump machine when the point falls in an intermediate zone.

Claim (Index 1):
Control method for defrosting the outdoor coil of a heat pump machine configured to exchange heat between an external cold source (ambient air) and a hot source, said machine being provided with means to be able to perform, on command, the reverse cycle compared to the one just described, said method comprising the steps of:\n a) define in the plane Outdoor Air Temperature (Taria_ext)/evaporation temperature (T_evap) a first ( 310 ) and a second ( 320 ) line of separation, said lines defining three zones (A,B,C) within said plane; b) Measure ( 200 ) outdoor air temperature (Taria_ext); c) Measure ( 210 ) the evaporation temperature (T_evap); d) Identifying ( 220 ) in which area (a,B,C) of the plan Taria_ext/T_evap falls the point identified by the two temperature measurements acquired at steps b) and c); e) IF said point is located in a non-secure area (C), positioned below said second line of separation ( 320 ), THEN invert machine operating cycle; f) IF said point is located in an intermediate zone (B), positioned between said first ( 310 ) and second ( 320 ) line of separation, THEN decrease rotation speed of the compressor of said heat pump machine; g) Measure Taria_ext and T_evap after a predetermined time interval; h) IF the point identified by measures at point g) is located in a safe area (A) THEN undo the actions taken in step e) or f); OTHERWISE repeat step g).
