For all those who dream of owning a refrigerator but cannot afford it due to its high cost and the electricity bills, Shri Mansukhbhai Prajapati, a potter from Wankaner town of Gujarat, India has developed a down-to-earth solution -Mitti Cool Refrigerator - Eco friendly refrigerator made of clay. Mitticool is a natural refrigerator made entirely from clay to store the vegetables and fruits and also for cooling water. It provides naturally coolness to the stored material without requiring any electricity or any other artificial form of energy. The upper portion of the refrigerator can store about 10 liters of water, while the lower cabinet has separate spaces for storing fruits, vegetables and milk. Through the bottom layer of the upper chamber, small droplets of water continuously percolate below, which keep the Inner climate moist. Water evaporates through side walls reducing the inside temperature and Thereby providing the desired cooling effect. Mitticool gives higher cooling effect in dry. Climate as compared to humid climate. If required some water can be filled in the lowest section to increase the over all cooling effect. Advantages: It does not require any electricity or any artificial energy and therefore no recurring cost.

Better preserves the original taste of the fruits and vegetables. Very good alternative for the rural people who cannot afford the conventional refrigerator. It does not require any maintenance and small size adds more portability to it. Eco-friendly. The minimum temperature attained by this mitticool fridge is 20 Degrees/ ten degrees less than the temperature outside it. There is not Much change in temperature noticed with the change in seasons. We use terracotta for making this fridge which is baked at 1200 degrees. For providing the strength. Instructions for Use: It will take about 12 hrs to get cooling effect when using first time. It is durable in nature and need not to be replaced after using some period (like MATKA). Keep the Mitti Cool in a proper ventilated place to allow better evaporation, which in turn enhances its performance. Clean the outer body of the fridge, at an interval of two three days, to keep the pores of body open. Note: The performance of the Mitti Cool is totally dependent on external temperature and humidity. Normally it does not break if used carefully, however, will break on falling from a height as it is made up of baked clay.
