David and Alan, All good points. However remember you can't really buy beer; you can only rent it for a while. Solve one environmental factor and another comes up. JT Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® From: David Bartsch <dbartsch2236@hotmail.com>

Subject: RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] psub air conditioner Let's just say cold beverages could be stored inside this cooler for consumption at some point. If you notice in the provided pictures on the projects page, there are a few indentions for cold drinks to sit atop this ice chest (although two are now covered by this chiller assembly) Once vertical and blowing cold air, these other two spots are free game and wide open for use. (I hate to see any wasted space) And yes, at the end of the day when the diving is done...it could be Miller time!

well illustrated, you've been really busy.
I had a great idea for a modification.
As already stated... radiant cool air directed at the body is the most
efficient way of cooling, rather than trying to cool all the air in the sub.
If you filled the chili bin with a very cold liquid in individual containers.
You could take out each individual container as needed & pour the liquid
internally into your body. This would be more efficient as the coldness of
the liquid would be trapped in your stomach & radiate outward.
You need a liquid with a low freezing point.
Alcohol lowers the freezing point of liquid, but too high an alcohol content
could impede pilot operation. So what about filling the chili bin with cans
of beer???
