| Hot gas | Hot Gas Defrosting is a method that utilizes heat internally, from inside the pipes of the evaporator, usually the highly superheated vaporized refrigerant from the compressor. | None | |
| None | None | None | |
| Not applicable | Not applicable | None | |
| Off cycle | Defrosting in which the temperature of the evaporator coils is allowed to rise naturally during an off-cycle, during which no refrigerant is supplied. | None | |
| Other | Other | None | |
