AC in the server room broke. Told my boss we needed to rent or buy a spot cooler.
Nope, let's just get a couple coolers of ice.
Dude, do you know why that AC unit is rated for 1.5 tons of cooling?
A cooler isn't going to do anything.
"hello, I'd like to get half a ton of dry ice delivered. No, we don't have a working ventilation system, why do you ask?"
just put the ice directly on the motherboard, ez pz cooling
1.5t that’s 18,000 btu/hr…
A pound of ice is 144 btus to melt, 18,000/144 is 125lbs of ice.
So to be able to do the same cooling as your ac you would need to supply 125lbs of ice an hour. Surprisingly not as bad as I thought.
I don't get it
I think this is a common "trick" to help heat your home if the power goes out. Putting a pot over 4 tea candles doesn't change how much heat it produces. But it does slow down the hot air path, so instead of going straight to the ceiling it bounces around at lower heights. And you get a little bit of radiant heat from the pot, but see laws of physics. It's more about the distribution of the heat.
They… you know they keep posting that you can heat a room, doing this… a tea candle doesn’t put out that kinda heat…. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I was totally stumped too until the answers to your query. I wasn't thinking northern hemisphere, I guess.
Scotty doesn’t know
I mean, he does, but +1 for the reference.
Just dinna light that candle.
