How Refrigeration Units Work |
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 temeperature 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.
How the eCube works. |
The eCube consists of a food stimulant contained in a double-skinned enclosure. The food simulant mimics food temperature at around 10,, below the surface. It is like having your thermostat regulating the temperature by the temperature of the yogurt, instead of the air temperature. Due to its specific design, the eCube ensures that refrigeration keeps food at the correct temperature.
When fitted to the thermostat sensor, which controls the compressor, the eCube significantly reduces the frequency of the refrigeration cycles as they now based on food temperature rather than fluctuating air temperature.
By using the eCube as a cycle control mechanism, refrigeration cycles last longer but can be reduced by as much as 80%.
For example, a Dairy Case air cycles 3 minutes on, 2 minutes off = 12 cycles per hour. With an eCube fitted, the cycles change to 8 minutes on, 7 minutes off = 4 cycles per hour. This equates to 66.7% reduction in starts.
As the start-up of a refrigerator compressor uses 3 times more power (i.e. start-up 12 amps, run 4 amps) considerable energy savings are achieved. In addition, the more efficient refrigeration cycle leads to a more efficient unit, which then leads to a colder storage area. Consequently, by readjusting the thermostat back to its normal temperature settings, there are further substantial energy savings, without compromising food safety and quality. Here are just some of the reasons to retrofit your refrigeration system with an eCube:
- Significant energy savings (reduced electricity bills and demand.
- Charges/Climate change levy charges.
- Considerable noise reduction.
- Reduced wear and tear on equipment, leading to extended life of equipment.
- Fewer Breakdowns.
- Fewer Sensor Failures (as sensors are protected inside the eCube)
- Safer food and less product spoilage.
- Reduced enviromental pollution.
- One time retrofit product requiring no further attention or maintenance.
- Once fitted.
- Lower temperatures achieved without heat induced defrost cycles.
