If you look at my original post you can review my original assumption or hunch as an engineer very familiar with the local conditions and somewhat of an understanding of heat transfer. I studied it in school like everyone else but specialized in structural analysis and have spent most of my...
My client really does not want to spend the money on a chiller to have cold water on demand. She just thinks that insulation will help with the cold water situation. And I get the idea from talking with her that someone has told her that insulation will make her water cold. I’ve spent a few...
