X-Message-Number: 2090 Date: Sat, 10 Apr 93 03:50:55 CDT From: Brian Wowk <> Subject: CRYONICS Hidden Cost My analysis of the operating costs of a mechanically refrigerated Cold Room neglected something important. The back end of the refrigerator will spew out 5.5 kilowatts of waste heat. This will impose an additional load on the building air conditioning system. Bearing in my that the new facility will likely be located in Arizona or Nevada, this could add as much as 20% to the Cold Room operating costs. The exact cost is diffult to compute because it will depend on the type of air conditioner in the builing (roof mounted?, water cooled?, etc.) In any case, it is something to consider. --- Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2090
