Abstract:
In various implementations, a heat pump may include heating operations and defrost operations. The heat pump may monitor cycle time(s) for one or more of the operations. Defrost operation(s) in the heat pump may be automatically adjusted based at least partially on cycle times.

Claim (Index 21):
A controller for a heat pump, the controller adapted to:\n initiate one or more operations of the heat pump, wherein the heat pump includes a heating operation and first and second defrost operations; determine at least one heating operation cycle time associated with at least one heating operation of the heat pump; determine whether to adjust a termination time of the first defrost operation based at least partially on one or more of the determined heating operation cycle times and at least partially on comparing a change in temperature over time to a predetermined change in temperature; determine whether to adjust a termination temperature of the second defrost operation based at least partially on one or more of the determined heating operation cycle times; and initiate at least one of the first and second defrost operations.
