Richard, it will take one *hell* of a lot of ice. Dry ice would be
better than water ice but I know the water numbers off hand
9 btu to melt one pound of ice, another 31 btu goin up to 60, so use
40btu per pound.

Not the numbers I remember from high school. But it would take a lot
of ice. If I remember correctly a ton of airconditioning ( one ton of
ice melting in 24 hours)
is 12,000 btu's per hour.
