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.
