Suggested Correction to Article

I suggest, based on personal knowledge and, well, science, that the following statement in the main article is not completely correct in all normal use cases:

"Non-cyclic refrigeration ...Regular ice can maintain temperatures near, but not below the freezing point....".

I will add that the cited assertion/claim cites no supporting reference material. I will also add that "regular ice" should just be "ice" or - to set it off from the item it is to be contrasted with - "water ice"; and that "dry ice" be a link to that article or at least be described: "dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide)" or similar.

At the risk of offering "original research" (or just settled science), I posit: water under normal pressures freezes at a temperature. Below that temperature, perhaps even down to near absolute zero, it remains frozen; and anything packed in it will transfer energy to it and cool until the system (volume of material within the containment) reaches a (dynamic) temperature equilibrium; so if the ratio of masses between very cold ice and a packed item that was at "room temperature and air pressure" is large enough (if there is enough ice) and the ice is cold enough, it will freeze the water portion of the item that was packed in it.

Any serious discussion on refrigeration history should mention the Einstein–Szilard refrigerator

"VAHP" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect VAHP and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 14 § VAHP until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Mobile refrigeration

I suspect this article displaces other possibilities that might have been more helpful. Really quite a shame. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
