{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Defrost Control in Cold Chain Logistics","description":"During a multi-day ocean voyage, a reefer unit running at −18 °C will inevitably accumulate frost on its evaporator coils, gradually restricting airflow and degrading cooling performance. Defrost control in cold chain logistics governs, monitors, and records the cycles during which this ice layer is cleared without allowing cargo temperature to rise to dangerous levels. Modern reefer systems operate fully automatically, adjusting cycle timing and duration to ambient conditions and cargo type.
