Electrical defrosting consists in electrical heaters inserted in the evaporator coil and on the condensing drip tray, controlled by a timer in the controller that carries out the defrosting cyclically. Hot-gas defrosting consists in injecting hot gas into the evaporator, everything controlled by a timer and by sensors. Hot-gas defrosting is definitely faster (30% less time) than electrical defro¬sting and is definitely more effective because the evapo¬rator is involved uniformly.
