DEFROSTER

A defogger/demister/defroster is an electrical device that

removes the condensed water droplets or ice from the
windshield. It is generally of two types A) primary B)
secondary. Secondary defogger is provided at the rear
windshield. Generally, in some vehicles defogger is also
provided at the side windows. A defogger working is simple and
easy to understand. A defogger switch is provided at the
instrumental panel. The vehicle should be ON for defogging
process. A relay situated in the fuse box is used which draws
necessary current from the battery and passed it to the rear
windshield through wire. At the rear windshield defogger lines
or power grids are provided. The current is passed throughout
the grids and heats the windshield due to which the water
droplets or ice gets evaporated and clear visibility is obtained to
the driver. The current drawn is very less about 15 amperes. A
defogger works for 10 minute cycle and if the vehicle is running
at 48 kmph it will work continuosly. For primary defogging,
heat is generally provided by the vehicle's engine coolant via the
heater core; fresh air is blown through the heater core and then
ducted to and distributed over the interior surface of the
windshield by a blower.
