Saving Energy in Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
Invented by British engineers and globally patented, the eCube® was originally designed as a Food Safety product. Upon further testing it was found that the eCube® actually reduces energy consumption by up to 33 percent in the units it was installed in. With more than 20,000 eCube® units installed globally we have found the Benefits to be nothing short of remarkable. eCube® is the first and only Temperature Mimicking Sensor that has ever been certified and approved by the NSF® (US) and the CCFRA (UK).
Refrigeration units usually monitor circulating air temperature in order to decide when to switch on and off. However, circulating air temperature tends to rise quickly, far more quickly than food temperature and, as a result, refrigeration works harder than necessary to maintain stored products at the right temperature. This in turn leads to excessive electricity consumption and undue wear and tear on the equipment. Read More on...
How IT Works
The eCube® is a non mechanical device with no moving parts. It is easily fitted to your thermostat sensor and more accurately measures the temperature of the product itself. It is a small plastic box filled with a high molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbon compound that simulates the products in the refrigerator or freezer.
eCube® has been successfully implemented to reduce energy usage in restaurants, hotels, schools, grocery stores, convenience stores, bars, florist, fleet vehicles, and large food storage facilities.
