Abstract
Various fluid dispensing units having a defrosting system and methods for using the same are provided. In general, a fluid dispensing unit configured to dispense fluid such as AUS32 therefrom is configured to circulate the fluid when the fluid dispensing unit is not in use, e.g., is not dispensing the fluid, to help prevent the fluid from freezing or beginning to crystallize. In the event that the fluid freezes or begins to crystallize, such as due to a power failure that prevents the fluid from circulating, the fluid dispensing unit has a defrosting system configured to heat the frozen or crystallized fluid.
