Cut refrigeration energy costs with BE Smart controls
Refrigeration represents a formidable challenge to energy efficiency. It places considerable strain on energy resources while simultaneously impacting both the environment and the operational efficiency of businesses. We are acutely aware of this critical issue, which is why we are pleased to present CUES, a ground-breaking solution that effectively reduces the energy consumption of chiller units, thereby conserving essential resources and fostering a sustainable future for all.
Wasteful Refrigeration
A cooling unit's primary function is to maintain a consistent temperature inside a space, as set by a thermostat. This typically means the compressor cycles on and off to keep the air at the desired temperature. However, this approach often leads to inefficiencies.
Consider this: while the thermostat measures and regulates the air temperature inside the fridge, the actual focus should be on the temperature of the food itself. The thermodynamic properties of food differ significantly from those of air. As a result, cooling the air to a set temperature doesn't always translate to cooling the food efficiently, especially if the food is already at or near the desired temperature.
This means a significant amount of energy is wasted as the fridge continues to cool air, even though the food is already at the ideal temperature. This misalignment between air and food temperature results in unnecessary energy consumption and inefficiency in refrigeration systems.
CUES
The graphic illustrates a detailed breakdown of the CUES components.
Designed and engineered in the UK, the CUES system is tailored for optimal performance within its operating environment. It features a wax-based food simulant that accurately mimics the thermal properties of the food products inside your refrigeration unit, including thermal conductivity and thermal mass.
We offer CUES in two convenient variations to ensure compatibility with any size or type of fridge unit, allowing for quick and easy installation.

Control
Maintain the temperature of your food, not just the air in your fridge. CUES precisely controls the only temperature that truly matters: the temperature of your food. CUES Benefits
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the benefits:
Energy Efficiency: Achieve a 34% reduction in energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint. This significant savings is particularly impactful for units that operate continuously.
Extended Lifecycle: By reducing compressor cycles, CUES helps extend the lifespan of your refrigeration unit. Fewer cycles reduce wear and tear on the compressor, which can minimize maintenance costs and avoid premature replacements.
Operational Efficiency: Fewer compressor cycles can result in smoother operation, leading to more stable temperatures and improved overall performance of your refrigeration system.
Environmental Impact: Reduced energy consumption translates to fewer greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly operation.
Combining these benefits, CUES offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for optimizing your refrigeration system.
