The summer heat is upon us, although it might occasionally rain here and there but the showers are few and random.
Long power outages and loadshedding is common in the season, naturally most people look for power solutions or if they can’t afford one (in most cases) they look for other ways to cool themselves down, especially in Ramadan.
Some head towards water parks and canals, for an easy and cheap solution, but they can’t take towards canals and water parks every day.
Here is where this home cooling solution comes in.
Eco-Cooler
In a small village in rural Bangladesh, temperatures rise above 45 degrees celsius in summers, a usual occurrence here in Pakistan as well. There is no electricity available in the village, so they have to devise their own methods for avoiding heat.
Grameen Intel Social Business Ltd. have provided a simple low cost solution for the people in the village which is easily implementable in Pakistan as well.
Using basic science, they use repurposed water bottles to compress the hot air, which cools it in the process.
They install several bottles in a small plastic panel, only allowing air from the bottlenecks to go through.
Called “Eco-Cooler” it reduces the temperature of the incoming air, decreasing the temperature inside by almost 10 degrees, making the heat bearable.
Implementation in Pakistan.
As mentioned earlier, high temperatures are a common occurrence in summer in Pakistan. Power outtages also increase, which prompts people to look for a non electric resolution to the heat problem.
The Eco-Cooler will help solve this problem. The materials don’t cost much and the construction and installation of this contraption is something that can be easily done.
This solution should be implemented on a wide scale by the government, they can also encourage NGO’s to help out for additional reach. It would add something of merit to the already stained record of the present government.
Awesome!
How to install at homes? Looks will be disastrous mate
Not for homes IMO.
PAKISTANI*
What article states without physically building one

What the video says
At time 1:23 Dropping temperature by 5% with showing proper thermometer.
Pro pakistani Naqal bhi nhi ker sakte,
tum ghaltiyan nikalay aatay ho propakistani ki just?
Aur tum ghaltiyon pe parda daalnay?
maamooli c ghalti s aap gumrah ho gye? laakhon ka nuqsaan ho gya? hr cheez m keera nikaalna hmara qoumi khel bnta ja rha hai
kio pro pakistani ghaltion se paak ha
The video shows the thermometers for side by side comparison, you can compare them yourself and see that the difference is 10 degrees, not 5. The caption in the video is wrong.
it says 5 degrees not 5% in video. khud tou sahi dekh lo pehlay :p
Thanks for correcting me what i intend to say is 5 Degree jo aap samjh gaye,
Interesting and Innovative Solution.
Kuch bhi nahi hoga is se, sub topi drama hai.
If it is true, Air-blower could work as a AC too. If not, this is all topi.
Zabardast
This is not viable on a large scale. It will not cool your house or even a room. When the temperatures hit 45+ degrees this will not make any meaningful difference.
Bhai jahan tak main isko samjha hon, is sare kaam ke liye qudrati hawa ki zarrorat hai. Aur hawa hi band ho tu phir is so called AC ka kia hoga? Bande khare karainge uske peeche mun se hawa karne ke liye?
Last year Karachi main jo heatwave thi woh isi liye damaging thi ke high temperature ke sath there was no air.
isko agr pankhe k aage ya pankhe k peeche lgadia jae to pankha thandi hawa to phenk skta ha.
this is creative thinking, ho sakta hai aap ki baat kisi k dil mein ghar ker jaey…
Agreed aapki baat makes sense!
اور ہوا تھی بھی تو گرم جسے لُو کہتے ہیں۔
Atleast a few breeze of cool air for poors.
Gud if its truth
Wow
well it’s joule thomson effect which states that gas gets cooler when expanded through a pore ( small opening or nozzle). same principle is employed in the expansion valve of the AC or refrigerator.
If my understanding is correct, the AC is dependent on hot winds so it can convert? Not sure it is typical case in Pakistan, at least in cities. Could be in areas closer to deserts.
No this is not true. AC does not depend on hot air. Air cooler depend on dry hot air. AC get cooler by decompressing the gas.
No gas here. It’s working with hot air.
You said ‘AC is dependent on hot winds’. That is wrong.
its like opening up a window with a curtain. the huts were close to each other with narrow streets. making a window in the sheds could mean privacy and safety issues. so this bottled window allows air in and also caters to the privacy and safety issues.
bottles pe thanda and halka cloth dal dain and u got ur self home-made AC :)
