This page describes refrigerators especially designed to consume very little energy.
Solar and Thermal Mass Refrigerators
- Storing Food
- Abba Pot-in-Pot Cooling System - Nigerian inventor, Mohammed Bah Abba, of Mobah Rural Horizons, has received awards for his simple-to-implement invention of and evaporative cooler consisting of one pot inside another, with wet river sand in between and a damp cloth (or jute bag) on top. When kept in a dry, well-ventilated, and shady location, water evaporates, cooling the inner container.
- Evapocooler invention for cooling camels milk in Somalia - Dominic Wanjihia invented this gadget which he calls Fine Lined Evaporative Cooler, for rural application in Somalia - the cooling of camels milk for transportation . He was working on a project for VETAID, Somali Pastoral Dairy Development Program - SPDDP,in Burao, Somalia June 2008. (AfriGadget; Aug. 22, 2008)

- Sopology refrigerators
- SunDanzer Solar Refrigeration - Save on system costs with SunDanzer battery-powered solar refrigerators and freezers. These highly efficient units with exceptionally low energy consumption require a smaller photovoltaic (PV) system for your refrigeration needs. The brushless DC motor compressor operates on 12 or 24 VDC.
Research and Development
- Student Invents Solar-Powered Fridge for Developing Countries - Emily Cummins has designed a brilliant portable solar-powered refrigerator that works based upon the principle of evaporation. Employing a combination of conduction and convection, the refrigerator requires no electricity and can be made from commonly available materials like cardboard, sand, and recycled metal. (Inhabitat; Jan. 12, 2009)
- $25 Fridge Powered By Cooking Fire - The 8-pound prototype zero-emission fridge doesn't need gas, propane or kerosene and is powered by regular fire. TED Video (EcoGeek; Dec. 12, 2008)
- Magnetic Refrigerator to Cut Power Consumption by 40% - Once Karl Sandeman, a physicist at Cambridge University, has helped resolve the practical issues, the cooling power of the 21st century fridge could come from a 19th century discovery. Camfridge has built two prototype magnetic fridges that promise to cut energy consumption by 40% and save the ozone layer. (Guardian; UK; Dec. 14, 2006)
