    Abstract: A system includes a fan connecting to a refrigeration unit that provides air at a cooler temperature than that which is monitored in the refrigeration unit. The fan is activated when the temperature outside of the refrigeration unit is cooler than inside the refrigeration unit. A filter filters air that is forced into the refrigeration unit by the fan. A controller can turn on and off the fan and a compressor of the refrigeration unit. Flaps are provided to prevent air from entering the refrigeration unit when the fan is turned off, or the temperature outside the refrigeration unit is warmer than within the refrigeration unit.
