HOW TO MAKE ECO-COOLER AT HOME
The recommended eco cooler design is one of the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions that
have the capability of reducing the temperature of the room by about 5oC.
Step 1: Collect waste
plastic bottles from
dumping sites
What is needed include:
1. Lots of plastic bottles
2. A cardboard
3. Pen-knife or scissors
Step 2: Cut holes on
the board, with sizes
equal to the rim of the
bottle
Step 3: Carefully cut
away the bottles in
half crosswise
Step 4: Mount the cut
bottles on the
cardboard by
screwing on the other
side
How Eco-cooler Works: The airflow velocity ensures that
the system maintains a thermal equilibrium in the room
by removing any temperature gradient in the room.
