Fabrication of Solar Powered Water Cooler
Project Area of Specialization Software EngineeringProject SummaryI we are making a water purifier which works on solar energy. The
basic principle behind this project is reverse osmosis. The solar radiations are collected by solar
panel. This energy is then stored in a battery. The battery is connected to the purification
unit through a electromagnetic relay. The purification unit consists of high pressure
motor , reverse osmosis system and the water tank. The high pressure creates the
necessary pressure required to carry out reverse osmosis. The microcontroller 8051 keeps
a watch to the level of water in the water tank and prevents it from over flow. Through
this process we obtain the purified water in the water tank.
The decreasing availability of water has necessitated in the search for fresh sources of
drinking water. The available water in many areas in the country is brackish, saline or impure.
Salinity is a major problem in the coastal areas of Kutch and Gujarat. In our country pure
drinking water is a major problem in tribal/rural area .There are many processes available for
purification of drinking water like Chlorine tablets , Pot chlorination of wells, Slow and rapid
sand filters, Fluoride removal , Reverse osmosis plants, etc .In this project, we are making a
water purifier which works on solar energy.[1-3] The basic principle behind this project is
reverse osmosis. We are using solar energy which is a renewable source, abundant and cheap. Icase of power failures, this purifier will continue to work as solar energy can be stored. Here, we
use microcontroller 8051 which prevents the water from over flowing. This purifier can be used
in remote and rural areas where there is no electricity. It can also be used in places affected by
natural disasters. It also reduces the salt content in sea water. It provides pollution free operation.
The solar radiations are collected by solar panel. This energy is then stored in a battery
through a charge controller.[2-8]The charge controller prevents the battery from getting
overcharged. The battery is connected to the purification unit through an electromagnetic
relay.The battery is also connected to a voltage regulator.The voltage regulator converts 24V to
+5V,which is required by the microcontroller. The purification unit consists of high pressure
motor , reverse osmosis system and the water tank. The high pressure creates the
necessary pressure required to carry out reverse osmosis. The microcontroller 8051 keeps
IMPURE a watch to the level of water in the water tank and prevents it from over flow. Through
this process we obtain the purified water in the water tank.
As solar energy is being used for the purification of water, which is cheap and abundant, it can be used everywhere where electricity is not available. Here, the microcontroller which is used also prevents the water from overflowing. Moreover, reverse osmosis is a good disinfectant process .This project has only capital cost and almost no running cost. Hence, It will prove to be useful in the near future
