There are a lot of variables. Controlling the heat transfer from fluid in the tubes to the ice/water is mostly done with how fast the fluid is pumped. I plan to use copper tubing as copper has the best heat transfer capabilities. Once out of the icebox the fluid will go through a plastic tube...

Yes, the pipes will be on the bottom parts, so there will be a layer of water to help with heat transfer. I just realized that the air conditioner is not running full power all the time, i will buy a watt meter to see how much it consumes in one night. I expect that it is only on for about...

Thank you for the answer. I plan to circulate a fluid through copper/aluminum pipes that are surrounded by the ice (and in time melted ice water). This cooled down fluid will then be pumped through a modified internal airconditioning unit which will take the warmer air (1.8m high) and circulate...

I am trying to figure out how much ice i need to produce during daytime to cool a bedroom at nighttime. Currently a 9000 BTU Air conditioner with a separate indoor and outdoor unit is more than sufficient. The air conditioning is set to 24 degrees Celsius and the outdoor temperature goes from 32...
