Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a system or a method to switch off an air conditioning system when an ice formation condition is present. The ice formation condition is present when the temperature, in either degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, at an indoor evaporator unit or an indoor evaporator coil is below a threshold temperature. Some embodiments allow a user to change the threshold temperature. The system can include a user interface to provide notifications when an ice formation condition is present.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for mitigating ice formation in an indoor evaporator unit of an air conditioning system by monitoring a temperature of an indoor evaporator coil disposed within the indoor evaporator unit using one or more temperature sensors operatively connected to the indoor evaporator coil, the system comprising:\n a temperature sensor responsive to thermal energy of the indoor evaporator coil, the temperature sensor attached to the indoor evaporator coil of the indoor evaporator unit, the temperature sensor comprising a thermal contact in thermal communication with the indoor evaporator unit, the sensor configured to generate a thermal data associated with the temperature of the indoor evaporator coil; a hardware processor in electronic communication with the temperature sensor; a memory device in electronic communication with the hardware processor, the memory device storing information comprising a threshold temperature value and machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the hardware processor to:\n receive the thermal data from the sensor; \n determine a temperature parameter of the indoor evaporator coil using the thermal data received from the sensor; \n compare the temperature parameter of the indoor evaporator coil to the threshold temperature value; \n determine that ice formation conditions are present when the temperature parameter of the indoor evaporator coil is less than or equal to the threshold temperature value; and \n in response to determining that ice formation conditions are present, shut off the air conditioning system and generate a notification signal; and \n a user interface device comprising a display configured to display a maintenance indicator in response to the hardware processor generating the notification signal.
