extra time to harvest ice. A wall is usually built in an east–west direction near the yakhchāl, often as high as 10 m (33 ft) and sometimes as high as 15 m (49 ft) to minimize convection losses as well as to provide shade. Due to their height, the base of the walls was often significantly thicker, and in some design the walls were arched and/or buttressed in order to support the load (as pictured at the yakhchāl at Sirjan).

A bâdgir can also function as a chimney, releasing warm air out the top and pulling cool air in from a base opening or a connected 359:
Water is often channeled from a qanat to a yakhchāl, which is used to fill the provisioning pools or used to power the evaporative cooling throughout the ice house. Incoming water is channeled along the north side of the wall so that radiative cooling in the wall's shadow pre chills the water before

The temperature differences between shaded and non-shaded area in most areas where the yakhchāls were constructed often have temperature differences of nearly 15 °C (27 °F) to 20 °C (36 °F) cooler, making shade walls necessary for production and storage, as well as giving workers

Records indicate that these structures were built as far back as 400 BCE, and many that were built hundreds of years ago remain standing, where Persian engineers built yakhchāls in the desert to store ice, usually made nearby. The ice created nearby and stored in yakhchāls is used throughout the

Many yakhchāls contained ice pools. These pools were constructed to either provision the yakhchāl with water needed for evaporative cooling, so that ice could easily be prepared and transferred to inside storage, or for the production of ice on site. Sometimes these pools were channels that were

The ice inside the structure was often separated using wood and straw to separate the layers of ice and keep them from sticking to each other. Furthermore, most designs incorporated a hole at the bottom that would connect back to the qanat, or simply act as a well for drainage.

The sarooj walls are at least two meters thick at the base. 171:(over a mile above sea level), have been well-preserved. These still have their cone-shaped, eighteen meter high building, massive insulation, and continuous cooling waters that spiral down its side and keep the ice frozen throughout the summer. 301:(air in a qanat is cooled by the underground stream). It is this construction that allows the ice house of a yakhchāl to take advantage of evaporative cooling, keeping the structure cool to well below ambient temperatures. 709: 429:
Due to the low moisture content of the air, very little of the heat radiated upwards from the pool would be reflected back to the pool by the air above it, allowing the pool's heat to be largely emitted into
