Interior Box update / Testing

Measuring out the acrylic lip dimensions

The whole cooler

Modified lid stop

Ready for testing

Thermocouple interior mount

Data logger ready for logging

Current interior box temperature (Degrees F)

We are getting close to finishing up the inside of the cooler. We have all of the acrylic cut and painted. All we have left is to mount it into position. One key step was to get rid of Igloo's lanyard which keeps the lid from opening too far. It was a simple fix. With the wiring complete and the interior housing almost complete we decided to do some preliminary testing. We set the cooler up in the laundry room (~ 72 deg F). We activated both modules and set the data logger inside the chamber. The initial chamber temperature was 66 deg F. We are going to let it run all night to see how it functions. We'll see in the morning.
