Abstract: Room sized cabins and kiosks are used for many purposes such as help desks, verification counters, traffic management cabins, offices in remote work locations etc. Commercially available air conditioners are the most commonly available solution for provision of air conditioning and thermal comfort for such units. But they are often not preferred due to various factors like oversizing, high initial cost, temporary nature of kiosk usage etc. As an example of ‘jugaad’, we design here a domestic refrigeration compressor based system for such units with available off the shelf components and off-grid energy provision. The cooling system has been designed much like a conventional refrigeration system so that it can be assembled and maintained by locally available expertise. The sizing and costing of components has been done.
