Abstract: A frost monitor for HVAC&R systems detects efficiency degradations indicative of coil icing or frosting conditions by modeling compressor input power. The model uses temperature and compressor input power parameter measurements to predict expected compressor input power parameter values. Efficiency degradations are detected by comparing compressor power or current as predicted by the model against measured power or current. Deviations of the measured power parameter values from the predicted power parameter values by a predefined threshold reflect efficiency degradations that may be due to ice or frost accumulation on system coils. Such efficiency degradations may then be used to initiate a defrost cycle in the system.
