How to defrost

 

When hot humid air enters the reefer container, moisture condenses on the cold cooling coil and turns to ice that causes the temperature not reach set point

Cause

  • 1. Product has high moisture
  • 2. Opening – closing the container door too often
  • 3. There is no defrosting after closing the container door.
  • 4. Running reefer container while the doors are open.

Tips

  • 1. Temperature of product should reach the desired temperature before loading
  • 2. Running empty reefer container to reach the temperature set point before loading.
  • 3. After loading, should not open/close container door frequently because the hot humid outside will enter the reefer.
  • 4. Should defrost the container after loading to remove moisture inside the container
  • 5. Should adjust the level of container to prevent the accumulating ice by having the machine side to be higher than the door side.
  • 6. Should clean container frequently to avoid airflow blocked

Cleaning Procedure
