Its true what you said about windchill and intimate objects as long as that object is cooled to the actual air temp. If that object is above actual air temp, then windchill will have an effect on the object. It will cool it down faster, removing heat faster until the object reaches actual air temp. In this case, the batteries would be effected by windchill as the heat they produced during use would be removed much faster than without windchill. This could be bad for the bateries as its better for them to have some internal heat. At the very least, overall capability would be reduced.
Whilst that is true, that's not "wind chill" though, wind chill is a perceived temperature, you're just on about the cooling effect of the wind. Do not get mixed up with the 2 effects wind chill cools lower than the air temperature, inanimate objects cannot be.
Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold, only...
Therefore, the wind makes it FEEL (being the operative word here) much colder. If the temperature is 0°F and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the wind chill is -19°F. As i am sure you are aware, inanimate objects cannot feel ;)
Now, having said that, by all accounts, there are a few exceptions to the rule, such as external water pipes that have internal heat sources and chemical reactions such as cement, i.e. concrete relies on internal heat to set, it may set improper if the wind extracts this heat.
The wind chill strips internal heat but like most simple inanimate objects, they will not become colder than the air temperature.
I don't know much about anything but if there are a few things i am better at than others, 1 would be the weather, I own pro weather station and run my own server that's housed in France that serves my weather site(s)
Disclaimer, when i write posts, i generally fact check prior to posting just to make sure i am posting correct information, this may also lead to my posting similar worded paragraphs, this is because they have explained it better than i can. |
