The Thermodynamic Cooler concept has been designed to optimize the high-tech kitchens of the emerging countries. The system incorporates evaporating water cooling effect for preserving foods and requires no electricity which reduces the consumption of domestic energy without compromising comfort. Its stackable design allows it to be used as a substitute of a second fridge, pantry or a sophisticated fruit bowl. The cooler has two pots, one inside another. The space in between is filled with glass-foam, a waste element of the glass recycling procedure, which has made the entire cooler lighter. The inner pot is enclosed with a damp cloth stretched over the lid and the water of the wet glass-foam start evaporating, resulting a radical drop of temperature. This cooler can destroy injurious micro-organisms and preserves the freshness of the inside food. To keep the cooling method active, you need to add water time to time though.

Designers have started designing products that are not just good to look at but are also environment friendly and saving resources. This new concept called ‘Go Fresh‘ is an energy saving fridge which has been uniquely designed to keep the items fresh while saving energy. The fridge has been divided into 12 individual compartments which can be temperature controlled individually. These honey comb shaped compartments automatically shuts the air inlet the moment the desired temperature set is reached. Thus the freshness of the item is maintained and the energy consumed is also controlled. Best of both worlds… What say?
