Installation & Warranty

CUES is a simple retrofit device that contains a high-tech food simulant with the same thermal characteristics (thermal conductivity and thermal mass) as typical food products.

CUES is placed directly over the existing thermostats (thermistors or probes) within the refrigeration system, ensuring that the refrigerator reacts to changes in food temperature, not air. This results in a more efficient refrigeration cycle, where the individual compressor cycle lasts longer but frequency is reduced by up to 80%.

The Chilled Unit Energy Saver (CUES) is designed to reduce the energy consumption of commercial refrigeration by providing conditions that mimic the temperature properties of food.

A refrigerator thermostat (probe) monitors air temperature in the refrigerator. Opening of the access door invariably causes the incoming warm air to momentarily raise the temperature in the walk-in cooler or freezer causing the compressor to cycle, to reduce the temperature.

CUES is scientifically engineered to simulate the properties of food. The food safe, lightweight, ABS housing surrounds a high-tech wax, which simulates a typical food product in a pre-packed condition. Patented food safe wax food simulator design mimics thermal properties of food
