Summary

The mitticool refrigerator works on the principle of evaporative cooling which keeps the fruits, vegetables and dairy products fresh. Mitticool refrigerator works well in hot and dry weather without electricity. The current study investigates the efficiency of mitticool refrigerator with decrease in inner temperature with respect to outer wind velocity and relative humidity. The study is further extended to different compartments and walls of the refrigerator to calculate the performance of the mitticool refrigerator for different seasons. The results showed that the refrigeration effect achieved in the mitticool refrigerator depends on ambient temperature and humidity. The maximum refrigeration effect achieved in summer is 4.5 °C due to high Dry bulb temperature (DBT). The minimum refrigeration effect achieved in winter is 2.5 °C due to low DBT. It is also observed that in the rainy season, refrigeration effect is 3 °C due to high relative humidity. The refrigeration effect at day is higher and at night is slightly lower. Mitticool refrigerator gives better performance in the summer season.
