Those are much more effective then you would think. In fact, a commercial version is available for about $600. I've seen it used in small aircraft. Works for about 3 hours and can knock the temperature down by up to 30 degrees.

The cold air is dense, how it flow?

The only drawback is that while they do cool the air they also add a shitload of humidity as the ice melts. Work great while they work but when they stop it can be far worse than when you started. We tried them in a small area at a heat treat plant I worked in and the guys loved and then very quickly hated the effect.

There is a fan that blows the air across the ice and out the tube.

This unit uses a heat exchanger rather than blowing directly over the ice, so it doesn't add humidity. Adding humidity would be really bad in an aircraft (particularly a new one with all that electronic equipment). That also explains the $600 price. Of course, even in a small plane a certified AC unit can cost $25,000 so that price isn't as high as it sounds!

Ahhhh that makes more sense. We tried a heat exchanger one as well and burnt it out in about 2 hours. I have one of the heat exchanger type coolers that you plug into your car and it actually works pretty well as long as the car is running. Will suck a battery dry in about and hour if it isn't though.

Seems legit. I would rather make it but with dry ice, less mess
