Abstract: A method to manage defrosting of a refrigeration plant provided with at least one compressor and at least one evaporator, including defining a plurality of defrosting modes, which can be selected by the manufacturer and/or by the end user, which are based on one or more functioning parameters of the refrigeration plant; such functioning parameters are detected by detection probes provided in the refrigeration plant such as pressure switches, thermostats, timing devices or other, associated with the compressor and/or the evaporator, or other; and memorizing the plurality of defrosting modes in an electronic device to manage the defrosting.
