Lowering Your Refrigeration Costs
Revolutionary MarvelGuarantees To Save You Up To 33%On Your Refrigeration Electricity CostsWhile Prolonging The Life Of Your Equipment
T
here’s an on-going problem with the operation of today’s commercial refrigeration thermostats.Businesses, unknowingly, are spending more thanthey need to for electricity and for shortened operationallife of hardware.Here’s the untold story. When it comes to refrigerationof food products,
temperature
monitoring and control hasbeen dependent uponmeasurement of the
air 
, not thefood itself. Air, which is a gas,warms and cools very quickly.This factor triggers your 
air-oriented cooling system
tocycle often. However, solids and liquids, which havedramatically more mass or density than air, absorbtemperature change much more slowly. As a result, acooling system, oriented to actual
food 
temperature, cyclesless frequently. Fewer cycle times translate into big savings.Fortunately, you don’t need to replaceanything. There’s now a simple way tomodify how your thermostats function byreorienting them to monitor 
food 
insteadof 
air 
.
What is it and how does it work?
The revolutionary add-on device,called
POWERCUBE
, completely
isolates
the temperature sensor from the air and, instead, encapsulates it with anengineered food simulant, so that the sensor monitors equivalent
food 
temperature.Refrigeration units work as a seriesof cycles. This automated activitymaintains the required storage temperature with alternatingstarts and stops. On/off air cycles typically run for aminimum of 12 cycles per hour and, in some open displaycases, up to 20 cycles per hour.Today’s refrigeration units monitor circulating air temperature in order to decide when to switch on and off.However, because air temperature naturally warms far morequickly than food temperature, these systems work harder than necessary to maintain stored products at the righttemperature. This, in turn, leads to excessive electricityconsumption and undue wear and tear on your equipment.
Attention:
Commercial Food Refrigeration Users
With
POWERCUBE
 
in placeon your thermostat, your systemcan regulate according to thetemperature of yogurt or frozenmeat, for instance, instead of the temperature of air.

controlsthe compressor withincredible accuracy tosignificantly reduce thefrequency of costlyon/off cycles.Here’s an analogy to the comparison of a “before”and “after” retrofit: Drive a car in the city for an hour,then drive the car on the interstate highway for an hour.Either way, the driving timeis the same. The cityversion is filled with lots of stop and go driving, a hotter engine, and low gas mileagefor a shorter distance. The interstate highway scenarioenables the car to run cooler and farther with fewer interruptions and better gas mileage. The same holds truewhen using
POWERCUBE
. The compressor runs cooler while consuming fewer kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity by having fewer starts and stops. Mostcompressors have a 4-to-1 ratio,meaning they draw four timesas much electricity instarting up in comparisonto continually running.Because start-ups use four times more power (i.e.start-up usage of 16 amps,versus run usage of 4amps), considerable energysavings can be achieved.In addition, the moreefficient refrigeration cycleleads to a more efficient unit,which then leads to a colder storage area. Consequently,the thermostat can be adjusted to a slightly higher set-pointtemperature for further substantial energy savings, withoutcompromising food safety, shelf-life, and quality.Although the
POWERCUBE
cycles last longer, their frequency can be reduced by as much as 80%. For example, a Dairy Case air cycles 3 minutes on, 2 minutesoff, which equals 12 cycles per hour. With the
POWERCUBE
fitted, the cycles change to 8 minutes on,7 minutes off, which equals just 4 cycles per hour. Thisequates to a 66.7% reduction in starts and an 11.1%reduction in total run time.
