VEGETABLE COOLING SYSTEM
The invention relates to Vegetable Cooling System for keeping the perishable vegetables in cool & dry conditions for a longer period and thereby avoiding rotting of vegetables.
The farmers when they cultivate the vegetables, the said vegetables are to be stored safely so as to avoid rotting of vegetables. Generally vegetables/fruits are perishable in nature, therefore the farmers have to keep those vegetables in cold storage which is a costly proposition. Apart from limited availability of these cold storage. In the cold storage for keeping the vegetables/fruits fresh, it requires the humidification by spraying water alongwith refrigeration which is expensive and unaffordable to the agriculturists.
Comparison of new invention with conventional one:
Present system : Agriculturists are faced with a situation of glut in the market for their produce and in such situation they have to keep their vegetable in cold storage with 90% humidity. There is shortage of such cold storages and they are expensive and unaffordable to agriculturists.
New invention uses flake ice to cool the air and also increases humidity to 90% as moisture of ice adjusts humidity. Conventional cold storage used air conditioner type cooling coils and moisture spray to adjust humidity. The capital expenditure for air cooling device is very high and unaffordable to farmers, where as ice is available in community ice plants and serves purpose of cooling of cold storage air, cooling of milk etc.

The cold storage are not available near the agricultural field, therefore transportation requirement as well as labour and expenses are involved and cold storage are not available everywhere, therefore there is need to develop a device which will be handy and can be installed wherever required by the farmers for preserving vegetable/fruits and other perishable materials.
The inventor has made a Vegetable Cooling System for keeping the vegetables fresh and dry which is portable and can be installed as per the convenience of the farmer for storing the vegetables.
Accordingly there is provided the Vegetables Cooling System comprising a rectangular chamber (1) mounted on a wooden plank (2) having insulated bodies on four sides (3, 4, 5, and 6) and sealable at the top (7); the said chamber comprises an uppermost compartment (8), middle compartment (9) and a lower compartment (10). The uppermost compartment comprises a cooling system which consists of a plurality of hollow aluminium cans (11) at space filled with flakes/ crust ice vertically placed on a support rod (12) below which there are water collecting trays (13) placed on drain pipe header (14). The said middle compartment having a stackable rectangular vegetables tray (15) with perforation on its body containing vegetables (16), the said bottom compartment having a renewable silica gel or alumina (17) for moisture absorption; the chamber is silver finished nylon umbrella cloth (18) from outside on insulated foam (19). The chamber is provided with heavy metal bar (20) to seal the chamber with the base on all four sides at the bottom.
The invention will now be described with reference to figure 1-3 in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 3: is the isomatic view on field of Vegetable Cooling System
Figure 3A : is the front view of Vegetable Cooling System
Referring to Figures 1-3, the vegetables cooling system which is for storage of perishable materials / fruits and the like, in the agricultural field when the crops or vegetables and fruits are cut or plucked, there is no arrangement for shifting it to a safe place for storage; the cold storage are not in abundant and they are far from the field also, necessitates labour and transportation cost. Therefore a vegetable cooling system which can be installed near the field for any convenient place which have the advantage of shifting the perishable material to the storage with less labour and transportation cost wherein the vegetables are arranged systematically in the chamber.
The Vegetable Cooling System comprising a rectangular chamber (1) mounted on a wooden plank (2) having insulated bodies on four sides (3, 4, 5 and 6) and sealable at the top (7); the said chamber comprises an uppermost compartment (8), middle compartment (9) and a lower compartment (10). The said uppermost compartment comprises a cooling system which consists of a plurality of hollow aluminium cans (11) at space filled with flakes/ crust ice vertically placed on a support rod (12) below which there are water collecting trays (13) placed on drain pipe header (14); the said middle compartment having a stackable rectangular vegetables tray (15) with perforation on its body containing vegetables

(16), the said bottom compartment having a renewable silica gel or alumina (17) for moisture absorption; the chamber is silver finished nylon umbrella cloth (18) from outside on insulated foam (19); the chamber is provided with heavy metal bar (20) to seal the chamber with the base on all four sides at the bottom.
As many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matters herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpretated as illustrative and not in a limited sense.
