Method for optimizing energy consumption related to defrosting a cold battery

Abstract

A method for optimizing the energy consumption associated with defrosting a chiller coil (10) of a refrigeration system (1), comprising: - a learning phase (100) during which data relating to cooling and defrosting phases of the chiller coil (10) are collected, this data including at least the energy consumption associated with each defrosting phase, the times at which the water from the defrosting of the chiller coil ends flow (105), and the actual times required for defrosting, the quantity of water (106) from the defrosting of the chiller coil; - an optimization phase (200) during which the collected data are used to determine an optimal operating profile, taking into account at least the energy impact of the defrosting phases or an overall cooling COP; the defrosting phases being adapted in terms of number, type of defrosting, and defrosting duration.
