One thing my college roommate and I always did was to fill up the unneeded portions of our refigerator with old plastic milk containers full of water. Since we usually had a mostly empty frig, cooling the air just to let it pour out next time seemed pretty dumb. Filling empty volume with water gave us some "thermal protection." Probabaly saved us a few bucks over the course of the years. I'd think that the water would have to be kept in there for quite a while to make it useful, since it takes more Kcals to cool water than the same volume of air. ___________________________________________________________________________ The preceding should not to be construed as the statement or opinion of the employers or associates of the author.
