야크찰

Yakhchal은 증발 냉각기 역할을 하는 고대 유형의 얼음 집으로 지상의 돔 형태와 지하 저장 공간을 가지고 있다. 얼음과 음식을 저장하는 데 사용되었다. 사막에 세워진 이 고대 냉장고는 지금도 그 성능이 현대의 냉장고 못지않은 성능을 발휘하고 있다.

Yakhchal

Yakhchal is an ancient type of ice house that functions as an evaporative cooler. The structure had a domed shape above ground and a subterranean storage space. It was often used to store ice, but sometimes was used to store food as well. The subterranean space coupled with the thick heat-resistant construction material insulated the storage space year round. These structures were mainly built and used in Persia. Many that were built hundreds of years ago remain standing.
