Energy Savings with eCUBE
Key Features
- Commercial Refrigerators waste 15-30% of their energy by trying to keep their food temperature constant. The eCube reduces the equipment’s energy consumption by 10-30% on average.
- It reduces compressor cycles by up to 85% as most refrigerators run 50% more cycles than necessary. This saves energy, lowers wear and tear and is produces a safer environment for the food.
- The technology simulates food and beverage thermal qualities by measuring food temperature rather than air temperature.
- The eCube also reduces CO² emissions making it a better and safer option for the environment.
What is eCube?
The eCube was invented by British engineers due to the necessity that companies around the world cut down their energy consumption in the fight against Global Warming. It is the energy efficient solution within the food and beverage industry that is pioneering the way we design and operate our equipment. It has been tested throughout the world, both by independent organisations and in-house, and it has proven to reduce energy consumption by up to 33%.
How eCUBE Works
The eCube mimics food temperature as it is crafted out of a food simulant that is contained in its double-skinned enclosure. The wax cube is easily fitted onto the thermostat sensor of the refrigerator and reads only the heat from the food within the unit rather than reacting to the temperature of the ever fluctuating air. Standard refrigeration units work in a series of cycles where they start and stop to maintain the required storage temperature; however eCube significantly reduces the frequency of the refrigeration cycles by allowing them to last longer, reducing the amount per hour, thus saving energy. This is due to the fact that if a unit monitors the air temperature to determine when to turn itself on and off, it will always work harder as the temperature of air rises faster than food. By using an eCube, a considerable amount of energy can be saved and cycles can be reduced by up to 85%, leading to a colder storage unit without compromising food safety and quality.
Reasons To Choose eCube
- It is easy to install and use. The eCube can be installed in as little as 5 minutes.
- No electrical or mechanical parts are needed and the component itself is small and compact.
- It works with electronic and mechanical thermostats.
- It has a 5 year warranty and comes with a money-back guarantee.
