Plate exchanger defrosting with temperature monitoring |
Exhaust air (alternatively Defrosting) temperature is constantly measured.
The defrosting controller (PID) will take over control of sequence output (exchanger bypass) if temperature falls below [-3] oC.
The flow of cold Outdoor - Supply air is gradually diverted from the exchanger to bypass while the flow of warm Extract - Exhaust air remains unchanged.
The intended imbalance of the air flows through the exchanger reduces transfer of thermal energy and as a result has a defrosting effect.

[-3] oC |
Defrosting starts when the exhaust (defrosting) temperature is < -3 oC and will continue until it becomes +1 oC (-3 oC + 4 oC), but not less than 15 minutes |
