What is CUES?

CUES stands for “Chilled Unit Energy Saver”. It is a retrofit device that can fit on any cooling unit inside a with a standard air sensing probe, to more accurately mimic the temperature of its contents.

The thermodynamics of food and beverages vary significantly from that of air. A standard thermostat probe inside a cooling unit measures the air temperature. If someone opens a door and warm air rushes in, the compressor will kick on right away to cool the unit even though the temperature of the food and beverages has not changed at all. Because of this discrepancy, the compressor runs more frequently than is necessary, leading to both increased energy usage and unnecessary wear and tear on the compressor unit.

How does the CUES work?

The CUES unit can be easily installed on the probes of your existing thermostat. Once installed, the thermostat probes measure the temperature through the CUES system, mimicking the internal temperature of food. When it starts to change in temperature, the compressor will kick on to maintain the desired temperature. This happens much more slowly than it would if the probes were measuring air temperature, resulting in fewer compressor cycles, lower energy consumption and extended life of the cooling unit.
