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 17):
A method for installing a system to mitigate ice formation in an indoor evaporator unit of an air conditioning system, the method comprising:\n installing a sensor to a first location of an indoor evaporator coil of the indoor evaporator unit, the sensor comprising a thermal contact in thermal communication with the indoor evaporator unit, the sensor configured to generate a thermal data associated with a temperature of the indoor evaporator coil; establishing a connection between a hardware processor and the sensor; and installing a relay coupled to the hardware processor and a power supply for the air conditioning system, the relay comprising a first position and a second position, the relay configured to prevent the air conditioning system from receiving power from the power supply when in the second position, wherein:\n the hardware processor comprises a memory device; and \n the memory device stores information comprising a threshold temperature value and machine readable instructions configured to, when executed, cause the hardware processor to:\n receive a thermal data from the sensor; \n determine a temperature parameter of the indoor evaporator coil using the thermal data received from the sensor; \n determine that the ice formation condition is present when the temperature parameter of the indoor evaporator coil is less than or equal to the threshold temperature value; \n move the relay from the first position to the second position; and \n terminate the air conditioning system.
