Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present application discloses a method for controlling the defrosting of a heat transfer unit of a temperature conditioning system by initiating a defrost operation when a predetermined amount of frost has accumulated on the unit during a frost accumulation period that occurs between defrost operations. The method includes the steps of determining the time required to actually defrost the unit, increasing or decreasing the frost accumulation period dependent upon the defrost time, where the actual defrost time is determined by determining the time required to raise the temperature of the unit from a first to a second predetermined temperature.
