If you are pumping hot air into it, why would you need to insulate it? This unit works by pumping cold *water* through a heat exchanger, not air across ice. If you think different, show me the science. The science is basic- heat always moves to cold. The cooler is insulating the ice from absorbing heat from whatever it is resting on, thus saving the ice for where it can be used more efficiently- in the heat exchanger. Horse****!!! The science is cold is simply lack of heat. You are blowing the same exact air across the ice that the ice would be exposed to. If you are pumping 90 degree air into that cooler, what difference would it make whether or not the container was insulated??? Try it. Take a given amount of ice and put in a ice chest. Place another in a cardboard box. Blow the same exact amount of air into each, with the same exact equipment, and the same exact exhaust. Measure the temperature of the exhaust. Guess what? They'll be the same. You really are that dumb. \Well, damn! Tell me HOW in the hell insulation would help if you are pumping the exact same are that you are trying to insulate FROM right into the cooler!!??? Again, see my last two sentences above. Try it. Everything exactly the same except for the container. And again, if you are pumping the same exact air into the chest that you are trying to insulate from, just what IS the insulation doing? Take this for instance. Take a piece of isopolycyanurate insulation outdoors. Take the temperature on one side of the piece. Take the temperature on the other side of the piece. Huh? They are the same? Imagine THAT! That is exactly the scenario you'll see with the ice chest. You are pumping air into it that is exactly the same temperature as that that you are trying to insulate against. Dumb indeed! |

And it will work the same exact way whether it's water, air whatever. What you are failing to understand is that once water (or air, or whatever) goes through the heat exchanger, it's what? HOT. So, you force water (or air or whatever) through an ice chest. How does the ice chest help? In order for this thing to work, then the water would be at a higher temperature going back into the thing than the ambient air temperature. Ergo, again, the ice chest is useless except for a holding vessel. |

If not a word, what is the correct grammatical term for polyisocyanurate besides a collection of abbreviations? Come on now, were waiting for a cite. If you've read many, many documents with the "abbreviations" in both orders how come at least one does not come up with a Google search of "isopolycyanurate"? Google doesn't even offer an alternate spelling and I believe Google is much more intelligent than you are. Some folks here were giving you credit for being 12 years old. I believe that is very generous. |
