The pots were set up at different heights; H1 (0 m), H2 (0.5 m) and H3 (1 m) and observed for 59 days from 8:00am to 6:00pm daily. The inner temperatures obtained from the three different arrangements were determined using standard methods. The result showed that increasing the height from ground level (0 m) to 1 m increases the mean cooling effect by 8 %. Generally, it was observed that only the set-up height at 1m proved to have maximum efficiency of the pot-in-pot system performance.enCoolerEfficiencyEvaporative coolingSet-up heightPot-in-potPreservationArticle
