Abstract

•Defrosting on the evaporator is asynchronous from bottom to top.•The distributed heater improves defrosting by combining local and global heating.•Optimizing heater power distribution improves defrosting performance.•Defrosting is optimal with a 150 W global heater and a 50 W local heater.
