u/tmweth22 Aug 28 '26

Use a small igloo cooler with the top off. Leave it in the freezer for 24 hours.

The water will freeze from the top down creating a denser block of clear ice that will melt a lot slower than a block from a thin plastic Tupperware.

100% its central ac. Freezers are like the least efficient way to cool down a house.

The only benefit is that you can "pre cool down" your house ahead of time by making the ice blocks when the house is cooler. AC units release hot air outside tho, freezers release hot air inside your house. So you're still better off blasting your AC on max than doing this, but if your max AC isn't cool enough on a hot day then this could help slightly to cool down the house temporarily when needed, but overall its actually heating up the house more at other times.

freezers release hot air inside your house

Or garage, but I agree with you for the vast majority of freezers that live their 30 year lives in regular indoor kitchens.

I've always wondered why it isn't worth adding a vent for freezers to expel hot hair outside. Take your clothes dryer as a good model to make it less scary. Almost every house has a little vent hole from where the clothes dryer sits to the outside. Do that (totally standard dryer vent) and then make sure the heat generated is kind of funnelled into that.

Alternatively, bathrooms have a "bathroom fan" which helps clear the air of moisture and heat in a bathroom. Maybe it is a system like that one instead of the clothes dryer model. Put some smart people on it, do the right design.

Instead of these existing, simple measures, my refrigerator kind of sits in this fairly enclosed space with no fan. I've always been bothered by that. It seems better for keeping a house cool if there was nothing more than a bathroom fan hovering 12" over this enclosed space ("up" is basically the only way heat escapes) where the fan comes on automatically with a temperature sensor. Or alternatively the fan knows when the refrigerator compressor is running (generating heat) and the bathroom fan pulls air at the correct times.

Making your freezer work hard to freeze a bunch of water produces more heat than the cooling you get from blowing air over the ice. But at least you can freeze the ice when you're not home?

100%. Water takes so much energy to freeze. When I do blocks for camping, the kitchen heats up.

3

u/Wild_Philosophy_1312 Aug 28 '26

Why would it work harder? You just put a bowl of water in. The freezer is already freezing irregardless of whether you have water in it or not.

16

u/Jeffy_Weffy Aug 28 '26

Eli5 answer: when you put something in a freezer, it makes the inside of the freezer a little warmer. This makes the freezer turn on until the inside is back to it's normal cold temperature. Something big, like a large bowl of water, will take longer to cool down, so the freezer will spend more time working.

ELI10 answer: a freezer doesn't add coldness to the stuff inside. Instead, it takes the heat energy away from whatever is inside, and dumps that heat into your kitchen. Plus, the electrical energy it used also heats up your kitchen. So, for every unit of "coldness" you hope to get out of a block of ice, at least that exact same amount of energy was removed by the fridge and used to heat up your kitchen.

u/Haughty_n_Disdainful Aug 28 '26

u/Wild_Philosophy_1312 Aug 28 '26

5

u/ClassifiedName Aug 28 '26

If the freezer is at 0° and you put water in at 60°, then the freezer has to work to remove enough heat to bring that bowl of water down to 0° like everything else.

2

u/redem Aug 28 '26

All the heat the freezer draws out of the water, to freeze it, it dumps out the back of the freezer into your house, making the air warmer. It also creates a little more heat to accomplish this than it draws out of the water, and costs money to do it.

Then taking the ice out of the freezer to cool that same air back down is... On the face of it, it's madness. It does chill the room you're in and especially if you're in the airstream that's gonna chill you. But overall it's increasing the heat in your house unless you're finding a way to vent that extra heat from the freezer outside.

Buying ice from a store won't have those drawbacks. Ain't gonna be cheap, but neither's aircon and neither's freezing large blocks of water every day.

u/herentherebackagain Aug 28 '26

that's a great idea! I wonder if more heat would be generated from freezer needing to re-freeze those containers?

7

u/db_admin Aug 28 '26

Yes, the freezer will have to work harder and will emit more heat off its coils into the kitchen if it is continuously freezing ice blocks that are being removed.

u/free-cat2020 Aug 28 '26

When you freeze something you are removing heat from it. Unless that heat is going outside then you are just adding it to your home environment. So creating ice in your own freezer that is inside your home is not a net benefit. But ice from elsewhere.

Fun fact: the entire reason refrigeration and cooling capacities are measured in tons is because it’s based on the amount of energy required to melt one ton of ice.

u/namelessdrifter Aug 28 '26

to melt or to freeze?

22

u/Aceous Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 28 '26

When it comes to refrigeration, it's two sides of the same coin. While one end cools, the other side heats. In home ACs, the heating end happens to be outside (where it heats up the outside air while the inside portion cools the inside air). And heat pumps are just ACs but running in reverse. Refrigeration is basically moving heat in the opposite direction of entropy.

So basically, an AC unit can melt or freeze ice with the same amount of energy depending on which end you point at the ice/water.

2

u/jakeisstoned Aug 28 '26

But the term came from the amount of energy required to freeze a ton of ice because that was the purpose Willis Carrier invented the technology for. Back then they'd use it to create ice out of nearby fresh water for cities instead of shipping it in from far off glaciers or frozen lakes. The ice was how you kept house or restaurant-scale things cool.

Plus you're incorrect on the heat pumps. They generally have higher heating capacity than cooling because the inefficiency in the system creates some waste heat.

My AC broke when I was living in the valley several years ago. I mcguyvered a set up with one of those Styrofoam coolers, a series of frozen water bottles, a fan like yours there and then a 90 degree dryer vent. Cut holes in the top for the fan and the vent, fan blew down into the cooler and the dryer vent came out the other side. It worked pretty well as a personal cooling unit. Just had to have at least two sets of water bottles to keep things going.

Drop the ice into a trashcan, drill a doorknob sized hole near the top of the can (somewhere above the water line when it eventually melts), set the fan on top of the trashcan blowing inward (kinda sealing the top of can with the fan).

The can will collect the cold air from the ice and the fan will blow the cold air out the hole you drilled.

We saved a server room at Dell in the early 00’s when the cooling went out in the building. We bought up all the ice at all the local gas stations and grocery stores, filled large plastic trashcans with ice and placed box fans on top. We had like 20 trashcans in that server room.

5/10. Thats a humidity increasing fan. You are adding water to the air and reducing your body's cooling ability.

Maybe 7/10 if the ice cube fan is drawing in hot air directly from a pc desktop exhaust
