In a tropical country like India, with about 70% of population of India is engaged in agriculture, the importance of refrigeration can hardly be over-emphasized. Nearly 30 per cent of the country’s fruits and vegetables perish due to lack of cold-storage facilities. The estimation of growing need for household refrigeration products reflects upon the scope of the market of the product. But the fact that the refrigeration is the highest consumer of power only next to lighting, leads to the selection of natural ways of cooling and refrigeration. In the past around 4000 years from now, people in India and Egypt are known to produce ice by keeping water in the porous pots outside the home during the night period by radiative cooling or nocturnal cooling technique. On a clear night the water would lose heat by radiation upwards. Provided the air was calm and not too far above freezing, heat gain from the surrounding air by convection would be low enough to allow the water to freeze by dawn. Night sky radiant cooling has in modern times been forgotten due to widespread use of modern mechanical cooling systems and refrigerants. However, this type of cooling has roots in many ancient civilizations across the globe. The idea is to use the ancient technique to solve the current day problem of cold storage and without external power which will satisfy the need of the rural household and enhance their lively hood. Inference for the design is taken from the experiments conducted with the prototypes made for testing. The usability is given prime importance in the design. The device is designed with double walls with insulator inside to avoid conduction and mouth wide opened Abstract to increase radiation. Handling, locking mechanism, manufacturing were given importance considering the context and affordance of the home products. Device can be used for ice making regularly with the suitable atmosphere and storage of food. This enables the storage of freshly grown vegetables to last much longer than usual in a hot climate. Some enterprise can also use this as a business opportunity and make ice and sell. It is also great for using at a picnic or outdoor trekking where there is no electricity outside, but food or drinks need to be kept cool The disadvantage is the process of ice making is highly dependent on the atmospheric weather and need for a person to religiously engage in the process of ice making from keeping it in a proper place to taking it back at the right time.
