Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of frosting and defrosting the evaporator coil on the performance of domestic size air-to-water heat pump systems. The results show that the degradation in the COP caused by frosting and defrosting is dependent upon the ambient conditions and the duration of the frosting period. Optimum performance can be obtained by implementing defrost control strategies based on real time performance data on a microprocessor based control system.
