Key ResourceThis article is from ECHO Asia Note #27 When planning to construct a “Cold Room” or “Seed Storage Room” for the purpose of preserving seed viability, one must first consider principles for optimum seed storage. InECHO Asia Note 14(July 2012), we shared results from our comparison of vacuum...

Abstract,IOP Publishing, 2018 With the overall temperature rise across the globe and the sweltering heat these summers, one can safely assume that households will see a furious shoot-up in their electricity bills this year. While the urban population resorts to air-conditioning to escape the heat...
- A variety of solutions have entered the market in recent years, which provide low-income households and workshops or small factories with a simple cooling solution that can be installed in a wall or window, basically providing them with a natural ‘air-conditioning’ system with no or low energy...

Access Agricuture Training Video When you pick your tomatoes, if you want to keep them longer, you have to find a way of reducing the temperature. As availability of electricity at village level can be a problem, ways have to be found to lower the temperature of this fragile crop. Some farmers at...

With an increasing interest in the use of refrigerants with a low global warming potential (GWP), engineers are looking to nature’s refrigerant – R-718, better known by its chemical formula, H2O. Evaporative cooling is not a new concept; its use in buildings can be traced back thousands of years....

1982-01-01 The results, as in previous years, revealed that summer planting of the greenhouses required a high input and resulted in a low out production. Considerable effort, time and investment must be spent towards research to increase the greenhouse cooling efficiency and plant productivity and in...
