Question: What is the primary purpose of a defrost cycle termination thermostat (DTT) in a commercial refrigeration evaporator with electric defrost?
Answer options: ✅ To switch off the defrost heaters when the coil reaches a specified warm temperature.
- To initiate the defrost cycle based on coil frost accumulation.
- To prevent the compressor from restarting before the evaporator fans are running.
- To maintain the walk-in box temperature during the defrost cycle.
Correct answer: To switch off the defrost heaters when the coil reaches a specified warm temperature.
Explanation: The DTT senses the temperature of the evaporator coil. Once the coil reaches a set temperature (e.g., 10°C or 50°F), it signifies that the frost has melted, and it signals the defrost control to terminate the electric defrost heaters to prevent excessive heat input into the refrigerated space.
