Deliciously ironic that we are warming the environment by making those blocks of ice.
hypothetically if I attach a solar panel or windmill thing to an ice maker then toss the ice in the ocean, would it make the world cooler or warmer?
I don’t know. I’m not sure if the refrigeration cycle is neutral. Even if we ignore the energy source, creating cold also creates heat, so that ice might just about counteract the heat generated to create it.
I think heat pumps solve this somewhat.
ice makers/fridges are basicly inside out heat pumps
heat pump technology is not the same as refrigeration. it’s the same difference as heat pump versus air conditioning
