You might want to read Kev's article: http://www.procooling.com/articles/h...ter_chille.php

(btw, he didn't clamp it right, but you'll get the meaning either way).
I'd strongly recommend against reading this particular article. Kevin might be a smart guy and all, but that particular writing involves some badly designed experiments and some extremely invalid conclusions, the details of which I informed him several months ago.

Sadly, the few technical articles on this site that enroach onto science territory tend to be hit-or-miss.
