Do I need to spend more on cooling mods? (185º thermostat goes in this weekend.)

Ambient temperature is currently 95º to 100º. The track temp. was 107º on Sunday. Humidity is 100%.

veloci,

just in case you didn't know what it was, or someone else doesn't. A 'reefer' in the way Doc was referring to it is a 'refrigerated cargo unit'. It allows cargo to be shipped either cross country (truck) or international (container) while the cargo is being kept at a certain temperature. this cargo can also be called temperature controlled. it could be anywhere from 2*C for fruits and vegetables from latin america all the way down to as low as -40*C for frozen fish from asia.

what doc was talking about was the generator they attach to some containers to control that temperature, otherwise known as a gen-set (at least in the ocean shipping business).

ok, enough rambling... just remember.


...THE MORE YOU KNOW...
