The Nuvio Chiller is designed for efficient and precise cooling, making it easy to achieve the perfect ice bath temperature for recovery. Here’s what you need to know about the cooling time and how to optimize the process:
Cooling Time: From Tap to Ice Bath
- It takes approximately 3 hours to cool water from the average US tap water temperature of 60°F to the recommended optimal ice bath range of 49-52°F.
- This cooling duration ensures your ice bath is ready for safe and effective use.
Energy-Efficient Operation
- The chiller is designed for 24/7 energy-efficient operation, allowing it to maintain your selected temperature without excessive energy consumption.
- An automatic thermostat ensures the water stays at your desired temperature, ready whenever you need it.
Tips for Faster Cooling
-
Use in Cooler Areas
- Place the chiller in a climate-controlled space or cooler environment to enhance its efficiency.
- Avoid using the chiller in areas where the temperature exceeds 85°F, as this can slow the cooling process.
-
Pre-Cool with Ice (Optional)
- Adding ice cubes initially can help reduce the starting temperature of the water, speeding up the process.
-
Keep the Ice Bath Covered
- Use a Thermo Lid or similar cover to retain the cold and minimize heat exchange during cooling.
Why This Matters
- Consistency: The chiller maintains a steady, optimal temperature for recovery, ensuring reliable performance.
- Convenience: With 24/7 operation, your ice bath is always ready, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments.
- Efficiency: Its energy-saving design minimizes costs while delivering top-notch results.
