7. Sustainable Technologies
1. ZECC [Zero Energy Cooling Chamber]
• An Indian institute has developed technology for zero energy cool chamber an
alternative of common refrigerator. This is an on-farm storage chamber, for
fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers to extend their marketability. Storage of
fresh horticultural produce after harvest is one of the most pressing problems of
a tropical country like India. Due to their high moisture content fruits and
vegetables have very short life and are liable to spoil.
• 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. It is most effective during the dry
season.
