Energy Saving Solution for Commercial Refrigeration
Refrigeration represents a surprisingly large proportion of worldwide electricity consumption. Food production all over the planet uses refrigeration technology which works in much the same way.
With the EndoCube, you can:
- Save energy by up to 30%
- Increase the life of your equipment
- Reduce your carbon footprint
- Increase the safety of food storage
- Save on CO2 emmissions
- Reduce energy bills significantly
What is EndoCube?
A simple solution for reducing the energy consumption of your commercial refrigeration.
Refrigeration units aren’t cheap, whether you are talking about refrigerated displays or large meat lockers, the cost of replacing one of these units for more modern, more efficient model can be incredible, and the savings made in reduced electricity consumption pale in comparison.

How Does the EndoCube Work?
- Fits easily over your existing thermostat sensor
- Prevents fluctuating air temperatures
- Turns the refrigeration unit on and off as appropriate
- The resulting longer on/off cycles lead to considerable savings
How it Works
Whether you are talking about the refrigerated hold of a massive cargo ship or a commercial refrigeration unit, they all work to the same principle. There will be a thermostat that monitors the temperature within the fridge or freezer. When this temperature rises above a threshold value, the thermostat activates a ‘cooling cycle’.
It is during these cooling cycles that much of the energy used by a refrigeration unit is consumed. Refrigeration units use a pumping system as part of the cooling system.
The EndoCube reduces the number of times that the refrigeration cycle is activated. This is because even in almost all fridges and freezers, the thermostat uses a sensor which measures the temperature of the air rather than the contents.
The problem is that air can change its temperature much more quickly than food or liquid.
This means that the refrigeration unit triggers its cooling cycle, expending more energy, even when it may be that the contents of the fridge are still cold or frozen in the case of a freezer. This is more common in refrigerated display cabinets, where there is a constant flow of air as they are either open to the surroundings or have repeatedly opened doors.
The genius of the EndoCube is that it fits over the thermostat sensor and mimics the temperature of the food. This means that the refrigeration unit only activates the cooling cycle when it is actually necessary. This can result in a reduction in cycles of as much as 85%.
