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 20):
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 sensors operatively connected to the indoor evaporator coil, the system comprising:\n a sensor responsive to thermal energy of the indoor evaporator coil, the sensor comprising a thermal contact in thermal communication with the indoor evaporator unit, the sensor configured to monitor the temperature of the indoor evaporator coil of the indoor evaporator unit and generate a thermal data associated with the temperature of the indoor evaporator coil; a hardware processor in electronic communication with the sensor; and a memory device in electronic communication with the hardware processor, the memory device storing information comprising a threshold value and machine readable instructions configured to cause the hardware processor to:\n receive the thermal data from the sensor; \n compare the thermal data to the threshold value; \n determine that ice formation conditions are present in the indoor air handling unit based on the comparison of the thermal data to the threshold value; and \n in response to determining that ice formation conditions are present, shut off the air conditioning system.
