Abstract

Refrigeration is the process of creating cooling conditions by removing heat. It is mostly used to preserve food and other perishable items, preventing food borne illnesses. It works because bacteria growth is slowed at lower temperatures. In modern times, before the invention of the modern electric refrigerator, icehouses and iceboxes were used to provide cool storage for most of the year. In Indus Valley Civilization and are considered to have been used for cooling as well as storing water. The pots are similar to the present-day Ghara and Matki used in India and Pakistan. We have selected Amravati district in Maharashtra state to make this Mrudghatanam -Ecofriendly Fridge.
