Are their any specific dimensions. Has one tried to build and preserve something in such a structure? Does it get preserved? If yes why don't we use pyramids instead of a refrigerator?

I have a small pyramid built to the specification of the Great Pyramid of Giza. I've tried putting grapes in it and they rot faster.
Basically a pyramid has a square base with sloped sides. The slope of the Great Pyramid is around 52 degrees. Usually bricks or something similar is used to build one.
The link below is to a fold-up version of the Great Pyramid. Once you have the slope right you can extend it to any height.

I believe, mummies were preserved due to the chemical that was applied on them, and not because of the structure of the pyramid. Pyramid is just a structure; nothing related to preservation.

No preservation. Watch the Myth Busters. They debunked the Pyramid theory.

pyramid is a geometric shape formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex, by triangular faces. When unspecified the base is usually assumed to be square. One of the Platonic solids, the tetrahedron, is a triangular pyramid. The square and pentagonal pyramids can also be constructed with all faces regular, and so count among the Johnson solids. All pyramids are self-dual.

Bah... The pyramids were built by people with diminishing goals.
