Description
The Rheem-Ruud 47-100955-01 Defrost Timer Assembly is one of the crucialparts that determine the reliability and performance of HVAC systems, especially the heat pump equipment. This timer component is meant to regulate the defrost cycle of a heat pump to reduce the formation of ice on the evaporator coil during operation. It assists in sustaining optimum performance and prevents the effects of ice accumulation by regulating defrost timings. The defrost timer assembly functions by turning on a defrost cycle, at which time, the heating mechanism is disabled, but only to enable the melting of frost or ice. This technique is essentialin controlling the rate at which heat is produced and energy consumption is maintained.
