| 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%. |
