    Thats where the physics comes in. if the temperature is halved in terms of celsius from 70° to 35°, if in your case the temperature starts at 100°, the same energy difference would only bring the temperature down to something closer to 65° than 50°.

    the specific cooling capacity of the cooler in question only “halves” the temperature if you start at a very specific point.

      My entire argument rests on the premise that 0°C is a rational start point for both C and F, but I concede that halving something doesn’t explain absolute changes
