This paper deals with refrigerator-freezers and freezers that are equipped with variable defrost control (VDC) systems. The modified long-time automatic defrost test procedure and the procedure to calculate per day (or test cycle) energy consumption for machines equipped with VDC are examined. The effects of compressor run-time between defrosts (CT) on per day energy consumption are evaluated, and a procedure for computing a generic value of CT is suggested.
