Rapid Defrosting Control Strategy for Non-Stop Reverse-Cycle Based on Multicomponent Coordination
Conventional reverse-cycle defrosting technology exhibits disadvantages such as low defrosting efficiency, poor thermal comfort, and significantly reduced compressor lifespan due to frequent compressor start-stop cycles. To address these challenges, this study develops a coordinated control strategy for the compressor, electronic expansion valve, and four-way valve based on conventional reverse-cycle defrosting, thus enabling rapid defrosting without compressor shutdown. Comparative tests were conducted using an experimental platform under variable operating conditions. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy achieves efficient non-stop reverse-cycle defrosting with higher reliability and mitigates damage to the compressor. Through comparative testing of four parameter schemes, design principles for parameter optimization were established. Scheme 2 exhibited the best performance: under frosting-prone conditions, it improved heating capacity by 13%, reduced discomfort level by 60%, and extended operational-cycle duration by 38%. This study provides an optimized technical pathway for the stable and highly efficient operation of heat pumps in low-temperature environments, thereby enhancing thermal comfort and offering strong potential for widespread engineering adoption.
