Eco-Cooling Chambers Without Electricity

Bys: Dineshkumar, Muthu, M, Karuppaiya, Parasuraman, Karthikeyan

This book explores the design, construction, and performance of zero-energy cooling chambers using natural, locally available materials like cocopeat, sand, sawdust, and gunny bags. Built on the principles of passive evaporative cooling, these chambers offer an eco-friendly, low-cost solution for preserving perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, and flowers in rural areas without electricity. Through detailed design guidelines, experimental data, and practical insights, the book demonstrates how such chambers can maintain temperatures 10-14 C lower than ambient, significantly extending shelf life. Ideal for farmers, researchers, and sustainability enthusiasts, the book highlights challenges, solutions, and future opportunities for scaling this green innovation in agriculture.
