why does a desert cooler better on a hot day

When the scorching heat of summer hits, we all look for ways to stay cool and comfortable. While air conditioners are a popular choice, desert coolers offer a compelling alternative, especially in places like Dubai.

So why does a desert cooler fare better on a hot day? Well, it all comes down to how they work. Unlike traditional air conditioners that rely on refrigerants and complex mechanisms, desert coolers use a simple yet effective process called evaporative cooling.

Dubai's high temperatures and dry climate make it an ideal environment for evaporative cooling. As the hot air is drawn into the cooler, it passes through water-soaked pads. The water evaporates, absorbing heat from the air and lowering its temperature. The cooled air is then circulated back into your space.

Not only are desert coolers more energy-efficient compared to AC units, but they also provide natural humidity to combat dryness in the air – something that can be quite beneficial in Dubai's arid climate.

If you're looking for AC maintenance services in Dubai or considering alternative cooling options, don't overlook the advantages of a desert cooler on those scorching hot days. It may just be the perfect solution to beat the heat while keeping your energy bills in check.

When it comes to beating the heat on a scorching hot day, a desert cooler can be your best friend. Unlike traditional air conditioners, desert coolers offer a more cost-effective and energy-efficient cooling solution. Plus, they come with the added benefit of being low maintenance.

In places like Dubai where the temperature can soar to unbearable levels, having reliable AC maintenance services is crucial. Desert coolers require less frequent servicing compared to AC units, making them a popular choice among residents.

Not only do these coolers help keep your space cool, but they also help maintain optimal humidity levels. They work by drawing in hot air from outside and passing it through water-soaked pads, which then cools down the air before circulating it indoors.

So if you're looking for an efficient and budget-friendly way to stay cool in Dubai's heat, consider opting for a desert cooler. With proper maintenance from trusted AC service providers in Dubai, you can enjoy refreshing temperatures without breaking the bank.

How to Make Ice Last in a Cooler?

When it comes to keeping your beverages and perishables cold during outdoor adventures, picnics, or camping trips, the longevity of your ice is crucial. Understanding how to make ice last in a cooler can make a significant difference in ensuring that your items stay chilled for an extended period. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore practical tips and tricks to maximize the lifespan of your ice in a cooler. Also see Can you use dry Ice in a Cooler.

Choosing the Right Cooler:

Before diving into the specifics, it's essential to start with the basics. The type of cooler you use can significantly impact the retention of ice. Invest in a high-quality cooler with proper insulation. Look for features such as thick walls, a well-sealed lid, and quality construction materials. A cooler with a good seal prevents warm air from entering and cold air from escaping, maintaining a consistently low temperature inside.

Pre-Chilling Your Cooler:

Boost the cooling efficiency of your cooler by pre-chilling it before adding the ice. A day before your trip, place the cooler in a cold environment or use ice packs to bring down its internal temperature. This simple step helps the ice last longer by reducing the initial effort required to cool the contents.

Use the Right Type of Ice:

Not all ice is created equal. Larger ice blocks or ice packs generally melt more slowly than small ice cubes. Consider using a combination of ice sizes to create a thermal mass that helps maintain a colder temperature inside the cooler. Additionally, block ice tends to last longer than crushed or cubed ice.

Layering Technique:

Strategic layering of your items can contribute to better insulation. Place items that need to stay coldest at the bottom of the cooler, closest to the ice. This prevents warmer air from rising and affecting the temperature of the entire cooler.

Pack Items Properly:

Efficient packing is crucial for maintaining the cold chain. Pack your cooler tightly to minimize air gaps, using a combination of ice packs, items that need to stay coldest, and any additional insulation materials like towels or foam. This minimizes heat transfer and helps the ice last longer.

Limit Opening Frequency:

Every time you open the cooler, warm air enters, and cold air escapes. To maximize ice retention, limit the frequency of opening the cooler. Plan ahead and organize items so that you can quickly access what you need without prolonged exposure to the warmer outside air.

Keep it in the Shade:

Direct sunlight can significantly accelerate the melting of ice in your cooler. Keep the cooler shaded to reduce exposure to the sun's rays. Consider using a reflective cover or placing the cooler under a tree or other shelter to maintain a cooler internal temperature.

Ventilation Matters:

While keeping the cooler in the shade is essential, adequate ventilation is equally important. Ensure that there is enough airflow around the cooler to dissipate heat. Avoid placing it directly against a hot surface, as this can compromise its insulation properties.

Utilize Insulating Materials:

Enhance the insulation of your cooler by using additional materials like blankets, towels, or foam. Wrap the cooler with these insulating materials to create an extra barrier against external heat. However, be mindful not to block air vents or compromise the cooler's original insulation.

Consider Dry Ice:

For longer trips or situations where extended ice retention is crucial, consider using dry ice. Dry ice has a much lower temperature than regular ice and can keep your cooler colder for a more extended period. However, handle dry ice with care, as it can be harmful if not used properly.

Regular Maintenance:

Inspect your cooler regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure that the seal is intact, and there are no cracks or gaps compromising its insulation. A well-maintained cooler is more likely to retain ice effectively.

Bonus Tip - Air Conditioner Repair in Dubai:

If you're a resident of Dubai and are heading out for an outdoor adventure, it's essential to ensure that your home appliances, including your air conditioner, are in top-notch condition. A malfunctioning AC can lead to discomfort upon your return. For reliable air conditioner repair Dubai, consider reaching out to Repair Care. Their team of experts can address any AC issues promptly, ensuring a cool and comfortable home when you get back from your trip.

Conclusion:

By implementing these tips and tricks, you can significantly extend the life of the ice in your cooler, keeping your drinks and perishables colder for longer. Remember to choose the right cooler, pack strategically, and be mindful of factors like insulation and ventilation. Whether you're on a weekend camping trip or a more extended adventure, a well-prepared cooler can make a significant difference in your overall experience.

[polysucks]

What do you think: which asoiaf house deserve better?

It’s too easy to say the Manderlys or the Tarbecks deserved better.

I am a true hater to my core. If there is one thing about me everyone should know is that I will find something to complain about. Periodt.

So, let’s talk about which house deserved worse.

House Bracken

If any house deserved worse, it’s these perpetual, scheming, backstabbing opportunists. The Brackens are like that stupid fuckin coworker who keeps getting their corporate cock sucked despite being objectively terrible at everything. Their entire existence revolves around making bad decisions, siding with the stupidest decision makers in Westerosi history, and somehow still managing to stick the landing. The only reason they’re still around is bc the chad Blackwoods would be considered kinslayers if they finally followed through with ganking the virgin Brackens because they WONT STOP FUCKING THEM. AND BREEDING.

“Waahhh fuck the Blackwoods, they suck, I should burn their houses down!” Sir, that’s your AUNT. Y’all are literally all First Men.

Those horsefuckers have been “feuding” (it’s literally hearsay) with House Blackwood for thousands of years, and they still can’t get a single W. Go ahead, go check in on them, take a shot whenever they are either betraying someone, sucking the cock of whoever’s in “power” this week, or trying to steal land that they will inevitably lose again. You’ll get alcohol poisoning. They backed Aegon the Dork in the Dance (woof), they backed the Blackfyres in the rebellion (really?), and in ASOIAF, they’re STILL making terrible choices, switching sides between the Starks and Lannisters like a bad wifi signal

And let’s be real—their entire personality is just hating the Blackwoods. That’s it. You ask a Bracken what they care about, and it’s not power, wealth, or horses (the Rills did horses better get a new gimmick)—it’s screwing over the Blackwoods at every possible turn. Get a fucking hobby. Touch GRASS. Suck CLIT.

Meanwhile, the Blackwoods are over here with their REAL weirwood tree, ancient legacy, and genuinely interesting history and baller fucking seat (Raventree Hall??? HELLO????? METAL AS FUCK. Stone Hedge is so LAME!) , while the Brackens are just flailing around going, “What if we betrayed our allies again? That worked so well last time!” 🤦‍♀️

Honestly, the only reason they still exist is sheer fuckin’ luck at this point.

First off, House Bracken is basically the Riverlands equivalent of Elon Musk. Hollow threats. Zero rizz. Fake as fuck. Total LOSER. Weak ass bark, zero bite. They act like they’re a major power, but they’re not. They think they deserve what they have!!!! Every time they make a move, it backfires spectacularly, and yet they just keep doing it. They fail upward!!!! They fucking learn nothing. They are medically incapable of making a good decision. I’d say it’s in their genes but the family tree of the Brackens and the Blackwoods is a wreath, and the Blackwoods don’t fail this fuckin hard.

Greatest Hits:

• “We Were Kings, We Prommy!” – The Brackens love to tell people that they used to be kings in the Riverlands. Oh, you were kings? Cool. So were the Blackwoods by your standards, and guess what? They didn’t get demoted to second-rate nobility because they were bad at being kings. That was time. That was just a natural change in power dynamics. Eso es solo economía basica. (Also, their kingdom lasted longer but like. Whose counting?) (me. I’m counting.)

• The Dance of the dumbasses – During the Dance the Brackens backed Aegy (imagine being that wrong) while the Blackwoods supported Rhaenyra the Perfect and Did Nothing Wrong. But here’s the kicker: not only did they lose, but they also got their castle burned to the ground by the very same side they supported. Imagine baking ur neighbor a pie and they still burn ur house down. Embarrassing. Whack. Sad. Take a lap.

• Blackfyre Rebellion: Worst Bets Edition – When the Blackfyre bastards popped up, the Brackens were like, “Hell yeah, bad decision 2: electric boogaloo!” Meanwhile, the Blackwoods, once again, stayed loyal to the crown. Because it was in their best interest. Guess who won? I’ll give you a hint: not who the Brackens backed. And guess who got punished for backing them?

• Their Weirwood Crimes – This one’s just sad. The Chad Blackwoods, like proper First Men, still worship the Old Gods and have a massive weirwood tree. The virgin Brackens, meanwhile, chopped theirs down centuries ago, probably just to be spiteful. The internalized racism is coming from inside the house. And where did they build their new godswood? On top of the stump like a bunch of insecure toddlers. It’s like they knew the Old Gods weren’t on their side and tried to cover it up. Lady Bracken (geodndndge please what is her name please reply to my emails) is correct when she says the gods are punishing them. Y’all deserve it. Stupid horse fuckers.

• The Award for Most Inconsistent Allegiances – Every major conflict, the Brackens flip-flop faster than an American politician on Twitter. Like we call Walder Frey the Late bc he’s opportunistic— man what the fuck about the Brackens? They backed the Tullys, then turned on them. They supported the Lannisters, then tried to hedge their bets when things got rough. Go fuckin cry about it. Pound sand. Die mad. They switched sides between the Starks and Lannisters during the War of the Five Kings like they were speed-dating for survival.

It’s already bad that the Brackens are losers (imagine being born a bracken. I would simply. choose not to. Be. Born.), but the fact that they’ve spent thousands of years being consistently outclassed by the Blackwoods just adds insult to injury. The Blackwoods have a richer history, cooler symbolism, and an actual legacy—while the Brackens have…horses? They fuck horses? The Rills got horses, too, man. Pick a better personality. And a track record of failure? It’s like watching a rivalry between a college professor and a loser who gets kicked out of bars for trying to fight the furniture.

Honestly, House Bracken only still exists because somehow they keep getting pardoned after every betrayal. Westeros has wiped out noble houses for way less (RIP House Darklyn and Tarbeck gone but not 5gottem).

They’re like fucking cockroaches. They just keep crawling back. House Bracken should’ve gone extinct centuries ago, they refuse to die.

Fucking clown shit for real.

The weasel kicked off his boots at the front door before opening it. As much as he couldn’t really help it, he didn’t want to cause Cat or Cooler any inconvenience with blood on the floor.

@reckless-weasel

-> Oh. Well it seems like Cooler was waiting at the front door for the weasel to come home! And the blue demon didn't look all that pleased either. "Sooooo.... When were you gonna call or text to tell me you were gone?"

[reckless-weasel]

-> The DJ was holed up in his little studio room, his busby racoon tail bouncing slightly as he worked away.

- @blue-raspberry-rapper [COOLERBOX]

Hover groggily walked into the studio with his blanket on his shoulders. His hair down and his body language was sloppy.

He must of just woken up. He walked over to Cooler and laid his chin on top of the raccoon’s head, wrapping his arms lazily around his shoulders.

Ambrosius making me emotional (as always)

I feel like a huge part of his character's motivation is that he wanted people to respect and like him. He wanted to be looked up to, seen as a hero. He felt like if he was famous, he'd finally be safe from the ridicule and abuse he'd been facing since he was far, far too young.

Which is why it kind of breaks my heart a little that even after his ultimate betrayal, even after he gave up everything, he still isn't. Nobody at the Institution seems to respect him. He is talked down to by the Director, nobody in the public seemed particularly charmed by him anymore, the moment he's demoted all his fellow knights/guards start talking to and treating him like shit which implies they never really respected him to begin with.

I imagine he had this big dream of being a pillar in the community and being looked up to and respected, seen as an inspiration for kids like him, homeless, hungry, frightened children without futures. Only to be regarded as a pompous symbol of a bygone era.

Ow.
