Test Cell

Discussing design of test cell (see diagram below) with Dan today.


We could use this to efficiently test the effect using different materials of different thickness for the inside and outside pot material and the sand layer on the performance of the Desert Fridge by using thermocouples with data logging equipment to record the temperatures inside the small quantity of water insider each of the Desert Fridge test cell units.
Using this arrangement we could simultaneously compare multiple (maybe 6) configurations at a time. We would also have one thermocouple logging the temperature of the surrounding air inside the environmental chamber.
