Defrosting as necessary / on demand Explanation: The correct German spelling is: "Bedarfsabtauung", which is derived from the verb "abtauen", i.e. defrost or thawing. Since it appears on an operating menu of a cryostat, it is in fact a thawing or defrosting function. The question I am asking myself now is whether it is an "Automatic Defrost Function" or a "Defrost on Demand". The German word can actually mean either one. Maybe the context can help you clear that up. Good luck! |

Reference: automatische Abtauung / Bedarfsabtauung Reference information: It's a pity you don't have more context to help clear up the ambiguity. This reference shows how one German cryostat manufacturer uses the term Bedarfsabtauung to refer to manual or on-demand defrosting as opposed to automatic defrosting. Your case may of course be different ... 6.5.1 Automatische Abtauung der Kühlkammer Pro Tag findet eine automatische Abtauung der Kryokammer statt. Der Zeitpunkt der automatischen Abtauung kann am Bedienfeld programmiert werden. 6.5.2 Bedarfsabtauung der Kühlkammer Der Rücksprung in den Kühlstatus erfolgt automatisch. Zusätzlich zur programmierten Automatik-Abtauung kann bei Bedarf auch manuell eine Abtauung für die Kryokammer aktiviert werden (siehe Punkt 5.2, Abb. 13).
