Default Re: Can You use the Freezer (in emergency) to cool hot apartment?

well, factoring in limited mobility makes things tough - even if you made a kit that could cover the back of a fridge and vent it out the window.. how many limited mobility could install it - it's a hard deal .. makes me think that when I'm older I"m gonna be in the same spot ..... even with a window a/c today in our neck of the woods they are mostly overwhelmed with 105 degree temps and humidity ....

I dont think theres any great answers here as if there were we'd all be using them. The best answer I could think of is not cooling the whole airspace but only cooling the person directly - saving them money and making the idea feasible - but nothings gonna work perfectly -


I'd still have to say in an emergency situation in those conditions you're better off in a cool bath with ice cubes to dump in over time - at least it'll keep you alive.
