Page 68: Defrosting At Refrigerating Operation
Defrosting at refrigerating operation BINDER constant climate chambers are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no automatic cyclic defrosting device. The DCT™ refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evap- oration plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator plates leading to icing. -
