    Defrosting during refrigerating operation BINDER cooling incubators are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no au- tomatic cyclic defrosting device. The DCT™ refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evaporation plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator plates leading to icing.
