Special purpose low-power air conditioning - metal involved!
" fired this volley in news:38bf5938-
:
If I remember correctly a ton of airconditioning ( one ton of
ice melting in 24 hours)
is 12,000 btu's per hour.
Yes, Dan, but you missed a nit.
Water absorbs 80 calories per gram going from 0C ice to 0C water, but
then it also absorbs 1 calorie per gram to increase in temperature one
degree C.
So a gram of water would absorb 80+(say)20 calories going from 0C ice to
20C water.
If you were a creature that was comfortable at 110C, you'd gain an extra
boon, because water absorbs another 540 calories changing from 100C water
to 100C steam.
