There are ten types of water coolers. Though these water coolers would look very similar if they were sitting next to each other, they would also be very different. The Energy Star Cooler
While shopping for water coolers for the workplace, I was surprised to learn that a typical unit uses a lot more energy than a full size refrigerator. That is why I specified that the cooler model must have an Energy Star label so it would use much less energy. The Environmental Protection Agency requires that a product meet strict guidelines to achieve an Energy Star label, and the consumer can be assured the unit will offer substantial savings on energy bills while delivering top performance. In fact, the EPA qualified coolers produce 40 to 50 percent savings over traditional units.
The Top Loading Cooler
The B & D top loading water coolers seemed like the best buy for my small cramped office. The height is 36 inches and the width is 16 inches, so it was easy to find a space for it. It has a 5 gallon capacity and can cool water down to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot water is also available up to 198 degrees. It comes with standard push button controls, and it has a removable drip tray to help in cleaning. The 5 year manufacturer warranty is very generous. I have suddenly become very popular among thirsty people. My coworkers stop by all the time to fill their water glasses and bottles.
The Bottleless Cooler
Everybody in our busy office was thrilled with the bottleless water coolers my boss had set up. It connects to the public water supply so we never run out and never have to replace bottles. The water passes through five filters w...

... makes cleaning easy. It works with three and five gallon water bottles. The water always tastes much better than the public supply in our area. My husband even thought I bought a new brand of coffee because it tasted so good. I am very happy with it.
The Point-Of-Use Coolers
We needed a few Point-Of-Use (POU) water coolers to place around the office building. A cooler that was plumbed directly into the cold water line was specified to eliminate storing and changing large bottles. The high quality filtered water had to be available 24 hours a day, and it had to have both hot and cold dispensers. The Sharpe cooler with 4 stage filtration advertised that it could supply a busy office of over 40 people with continuous hot and cold water. The stainless steel vessel was very attractive and fit in nicely with the office decor. The 3 year warranty was not bad either.
YETI coolers are built with a purpose and are designed to withstand abuse from the outdoor elements. The entire reason the founders designed YETI coolers was to aid outdoorsman in their everyday lives. From fly fishing in Belize to elk hunting in Colorado, the YETI was made to store perishables for an extended amount of time and endure the abuse of the miles traveled. YETI’s mission statement is interrelated with their founder’s needs’, “Build the cooler we’d use everyday.” The cooler is made for outdoorsmen/women, commercial fishing, hunting, and outdoor activities that can keep game, food, drinks, beer, wildly longer and colder. Our marketing plan is directed to a niche market which is beneficial for our company

Coolers need to be made from robust materials and have good thermal sealing capabilities. At the same time they need to be light and easy to manoeuvre and these are all features that the Pelican range of coolers have. Below is a table of some of the coolers that are available from Pelican and their ice retention capabilities.
One of the greatest accomplishments and innovations of human history thus far is the invention of the electric refrigerator. Such a simple concept has literally changed how the entire world stores food and has saved millions of lives in the process. Refrigeration as we know it has only been around since the 1930’s, and in less then a hundred years has been greatly taken for granted. Since the influence of electrical engineering in the modern refrigerator, refrigeration has gone from storing food in an ice cellar to being able to have two dedicating refrigeration units with controllable temperatures and even an ice machine attached. Without electricity modern refrigeration would be drastically different, using instead previous refrigeration
Johnson tries to convince that although bottled water is convenient to use and sometimes even becomes a life savior, it should be avoided at any cost and tap water should only be preferred. This claim allows The Shorthorn readers to be sure that the author is taking account of both positives as well as negatives of bottled water but includes comparatively lots of negative factors to persuade readers that bottled water should be avoided. She supports this claim by reasons such as bottled water has a negative impact on human health, plastic has a negative impact on the environment, and the plastic bottle is just a waste of money and energy. She also supports her claim of convenience of bottled water by talking about reusable water bottles ' convenience. These reasons are important to those readers who prefer bottled water and are not aware of its negative
The bottled water industry has a high potential in growth rate and in the terms of sales volume or per capita consumption rate. For example, the United States’ capita consumption of bottled water lagged those of soft drinks by more than a 2:1 margin. In term of bottle water, the majority of sales volume has burden on single- serving PET containers than 5 or 1-2.5 gallon high density polyethylene containers which use for home or office. The single PET container has been satisfied by the customers because they are convenience and portable. So it could be purchased from a convenience store.
The first application I’m going to discuss where water is used as a natural refrigerant is a swamp cooler, with a swamp cooler there is a drum that is made of an absorbing material where the bottom of the drum is submerged in water. A fan blows outside air across the drum as the air passes over the drum the temperature of the air decreases as the relative humidity is drawn from the drum into the outside air that is passing across the drum. Some pros to using a swamp cooler are the pretty cheap to build and surprisingly quite efficient to run and maintain.” They're cheap to build and install. The only materials it takes to make them are a blower fan, a pump, a pad (either synthetic or made of wood shavings), some water and a box (usually made of sheet metal), The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimates that an evaporative cooler, installed, costs between $700 and $1,000, compared to several thousand dollars for a central air conditioner (Swamp)” Although there are some pros to a swamp cooler if you live in a humid climate where some of the humidity needs to be r...
Moreover, the energy used in bottle production can supply energy to over 190,000 homes. The resources that can be conserved by ceasing the production of water bottles can solve many global problems faced by a growing population. The cost involved in water bottles is inconceivable to many. Bottled water costs 240 to 100,000 times more than tap water, which can be brought to your house for just pennies per day.
The data provided by IBWA (International Bottled Water Association) reveal that bottled water has become extremely popular in the US market. More that $11 billion dollars has been spent for the consumption of bottled water and its consumption increase three times in the last 10 years. The market of bottled water in the United States is the second largest apart from the soft drink. In 2006, the U.S consumption of bottled water was more than 32 billion liters compared to 20 billion liters consumed in 2001. Yearly, an individual in Houston consumes average of 90.5 liters of water more than global average of 24.2 liters. Such growth in the consumption of bottled water is presumable consumers’ perception about safety, purity and convenience of bottled water. Typically, increasing public awareness of bottled water makes 50% of Houston population to drink bottled water and approximately one-third of Houston population drink bottled water regularly. Since 1976, there has been an increase in the market of bottled water in Houston and the United States as a whole. (See Fig 1).
The factors for exponential growth for air-conditioning are the HVAC Market, energy, environment, communication, societal, political, preparing for the future, looking ahead, and the conclusion. Buildings of the U.S. use approximately 35% of the nation’s precise total of energy consumption. The worth of shipments by U.S. HVAC manufacturers was over $28 billion of 1996. Since there are 52,000 CHC chillers needed to be replaced among the U.S., there’s a large opportunity for new chillers, new technology for the HVAC industry. The ozone depletion is an international issue in which is currently being resolved. The 3rd world countries are still allowed to manufacture CFC’s. Illegal imports of CFC’S to the U.S. is a consistent concern. Many illegal imports are virgin CFC’s. Those whom have a political overtones are specifically the ones whom create a protectionism of local commerce, having a negative impact on those inside and out of the country.
The water purification system has a very big impact in our lives and we appreciate people helping us to keep our water safe and reliable to create a more healthy body and sometimes a meal.
... temperature of 112 0C also and a pressure 2.5 bar. Cooling water is used to condense the vapor exiting column. Remaining methane and hydrogen are separated in reflux drum where the vapor stream is combined with other gases streams. The overhead of first and second separator are combined to form fuel gas. The liquid stream exiting in the bottoms of the reflux drum is pumped at pressure of 3.3 bar for discharging pressure. The pump stream is separated in two streams. One stream is to feed to tray one of the column and the other one stream is cooled down to 38 0C in heat exchanger. Then, the cooled product stream is sent to storage.
You'll find it at home, work, and school. It's in coolers and vending machines and on store shelves. You may have it with you right now. Bottled water is everywhere. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports, "Bottled water is the fastest growing drink choice in the United States." In some ways, this is good news. More people recognize the health benefits of drinking water. They are choosing water over sugary drinks like soda and juice. Unfortunately, bottled water has a dark side. It comes not only with a high environmental cost but also with a hefty price tag. Stop and think: Is the growing trend of drinking bottled water really worth it?
The notion that the water that is in the clear plastic bottle just purchased is pure; purer than the water flowing from the tap is the fundamental reason of choice, one over the other. Millions upon millions of people every day make that choice with a confidence anchored in the trust that the company name on the plastic bottle guarantees it. The choice and use of this source of water purity is at the heart of a growing controversy. More importantly this choice has become both a personal and environmental health problem that has grown far beyond what anyone had predicted earlier when it seemed absurd to pay for a bottle of water when you could have a drink right out of the tap for free. Adding further to the growth of water in a plastic bottle across the world, we have expanded our love affair with the prestige of a name brand water bottle associated more with its’ status rather than its’ purity and thirst quenching capacity.
In addition, according to a survey from the US National Library of Medicines, only 17% of the participants prefer to drink tap water exclusively. Compared to the bottled water which shines like a superstar, tap water is like a diligent worker in the shade, unpopular but useful. The extreme unbalance of bottled water consumption implies that a commonly held concept exists: bottle water is superior to tap water. In fact, scientific evidence proves that tap water is nothing different than bottled water. More importantly, the excessive consumption of bottled water is an irrational use of resources and creates severe environmental issues.
