Benefits of eCube |

Benefit of longer on-cycles
Normal air cycles will operate as the air temperature attains the set point of the thermostat. This
will generate several on/off cycles, without having very much effect on the food temperature (i.e.
several 3 minute cycles). However, with the eCube fitted, this changes to 10 minute on-cycles,
resulting in a positive food temperature reduction by cooling the food quicker. This, in turn, leads
to safer food. In effect, installing the eCube leads to more efficient use of the refrigerator
system, lower energy consumption and safer food. The longer on-cycle creates a more efficient
refrigeration cycle i.e. longer runs at maximum benefit (compare it to fuel consumption and
efficiency in a car on a stop start urban road, or a longer stretch of motorway driving at a steady
70 miles an hour).

Benefit of longer off-cycles
A longer off-cycle allows pressure equalization between the high and low pressure parts of the
refrigerant system. This results in a softer start from a cooler system, thus avoiding compressor
trip caused by high pressure or an unbalanced system i.e. lower amperage clean start obtains
maximum efficiency far quicker (with a further energy saving). The electrical starting component
and devices used on refrigeration equipment have an engineered life span, so less maximum
power use of these components extends the reliability of the components, thereby reducing
refrigeration failure. The eCube extends the life of the starting devices and, in turn, the
refrigeration equipment. In time, this leads to fewer breakdowns and engineer call outs.
