Aerofoil-Energy Awards

Award-winning refrigeration technology

Aerofoil-Energy is an award-winning UK technology designed to improve energy and temperature performance in retail refrigeration. Recognized through the Aerofoil-Energy Awards program, it has been validated by leading retailers for measurable savings and reliable case performance. By optimizing airflow at the shelf edge, Aerofoil helps grocers run open cases more efficiently without sacrificing product quality or shopper appeal.

How it works

Formula 1 aerodynamics on the shelf edge

Borrowed from motorsport aerodynamics, Aerofoil blades reshape the air curtain across each shelf so cold air stays inside the case instead of spilling into the aisle.

The result is steadier case temperatures, less compressor work, and a noticeably more comfortable aisle for shoppers.

Benefits

Core Benefits

Improves food quality and case temperatures

A tighter air curtain holds setpoint more consistently, protecting product and reducing temperature excursions.
Reduces waste from temperature excursions

Steadier cases mean fewer spoilage events and less shrink across chilled categories.
Cuts energy consumption, operating costs, and carbon footprint

Less cold-air spill lowers compressor run time—typically up to a 25% case energy reduction.

In the aisle

Control the air curtain

Aerofoil retrofits onto open refrigerated cabinets to strengthen the air curtain and reduce cold-air spill. Installations typically deliver up to 25% case energy reduction—often at a fraction of the cost and disruption of full door retrofits, with far less ongoing maintenance.
