Abstract
A method of increasing the efficiency of a cooling system by measuring the temperature differential across the cool air inlet and outlet which occurs during normal operation of the cooling system to reduce the room temperature from its turn-on point to its turn-off point. The temperature differential so determined is then utilized to cycle the cooling system to increase efficiency thereof.
