Supermarket Refrigeration Technology

Aerodynamics don’t just stop at motor racing

Shaping the future of sustainable grocery retail without costing the earth.

Our supermarket refrigeration technology is born from advanced aerodynamic modelling and precision airflow optimisation, originally developed with Formula 1 engineers. Designed to eliminate cold-air spill, our passive solutions significantly reduce refrigeration energy consumption — delivering exceptional investment returns for retailers and demonstrable carbon savings at scale.

With over 10,000 store installations worldwide, Aerofoil Energy is enabling supermarkets to cut operational costs, reduce food waste, and drive substantial CO₂ reductions across global retail estates.

Applying CFD to Refrigeration Technology

Our innovations are underpinned by world-class CFD capabilities, enabling us to bring new energy-saving technology to market quickly and efficiently.

We use Computational Fluid Dynamics to replicate every aspect of a supermarket fridge down to the minutest detail, and then interrogate the airflow and temperature characteristics throughout.  For example, our CFD models demonstrate how Aerofoils quickly stop warm air ingress and cold air spill when a fridge door is opened.

Benefits for Shoppers

Energy reduction is not the only story.

Our technology lowers and stabilises product temperatures throughout the refrigeration cabinet, eradicating hot-spots.  This has a marked beneficial effect on food quality and shelf-life.  Shoppers also enjoy a more comfortable environment due to the virtual elimination of cold air spill from the fridge, increasing their browsing and purchasing time in the aisles.
