Zero Energy Cool Chamber
The zero energy cool chamber can be constructed easily with materials like brick, sand, bamboo, khashkhas/straw, gunny bag etc. The chamber can keep the temperature 10-15OC cooler than the outside temperature and maintain about 90% relative humidity. Multilocational studies at different agroclimatic zones have been found it to be very useful.
FDNT 221: Ways of Preserving by Low Temperature
Zero energy cool chamber is a immovable cooling chamber developed by Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, for short duration storage of fruits and vegetables on the farm . It is a double walled structure and the gap of about 75 mm (3") between the two walls is filled with sand. It is covered by a cover made of cane or sack.

Zero Energy Cool Chamber
In addition to being expensive and energy-intensive, refrigerated storage also requires a sizable initial financial outlay. Thus, the concept of a zero energy cool chamber was born. Brick, sand, bamboo, khus-khus/straw, gunny bags, and other materials are simple to use in the construction of the zero energy cool chamber. The chamber
Zero Energy Cool Chamber for Extending the Shelf-Life of
A zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) consisting of a brick wall cooler and a storage container made of new materials has been developed. The ZECC requires no electric energy. The brick wall cooler made of bricks with a mixture of moistened sand and zeolite allows low inside temperature and high relative humidity to be maintained based on the principles of a
Zero-Energy Cool Chamber for Tomato Storage
Zero-energy cool chamber (ZEC) works on the principle of passive evaporative cooling as shown in Fig. 1. Heat moves from higher temperature brick walls to wet (sand) evaporated media. The wet sand releases the absorbed heat through evapo-ration, consequently cooling is produced in the chamber. The greater difference in
