Robertshaw Commercial Defrost 8141-20

The Robertshaw 8141-20 is a commercial defrost timer for 208/240 volt circuits, controlling refrigeration defrost cycles.

Defrost frequency deserves more thought than it usually receives, because the correct setting depends on the application rather than on a standard figure.

The frost load on an evaporator is driven by how much moisture enters the space and how cold the coil runs. A walk-in freezer opened rarely, in a dry climate, accumulates frost slowly. The same freezer in a busy kitchen, opened continuously through a humid summer service, accumulates it many times faster. A cooler holding wrapped product loads less than one holding fresh produce, which transpires moisture continuously.

Setting defrost from the observed condition of the coil, rather than from a default, is what produces a system that works efficiently. A coil found lightly frosted just before a scheduled defrost is correctly set; one found heavily iced needs more frequent or longer cycles; one found clear well before the cycle is wasting energy and raising product temperature unnecessarily.

Seasonal adjustment is reasonable where the humidity load varies substantially through the year.

Applications include commercial refrigeration, walk-in coolers and freezers, and display cases.
