I just read a press release from Heatcraft & InterLink regarding their new Smart Defrost Kits for walk-in freezers. An independent 3rd party testing company confirmed that the Smart Defrost Kits reduced the number of defrosts in freezers by up to 44%.

The Smart Defrost Kit uses a microprocessor to learn the tendencies of the freezer refrigeration system. Once it has educated itself it will begin to eliminate or “skip” a defrost cycle that it determines to be unnecessary. They did a case study at one restaurant and found that they could save $146 annually. That is significant because the Smart Defrost Kit only costs around $300. These kits are available on new systems and retrofit kits for existing freezer systems. More information on Smart Defrost Kits can be found at www.interlinkparts.com/sdk. This website includes an energy savings calculator, installation video for retrofits and additional case studies.
