Design and Development of Automated Faucet Valve Regulating Mechanism
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
As the population in our world is increasing alarmingly there arise numerous problems pertaining to the survival of human beings. One major problem being water scarcity. The main reason behind this being increased demand for limited availability. Hence it’s high time that we do some sort of water saving techniques. Most of the people use shower, and some use bathtubs for bathing. If using a shower then most of the time we must have felt the difficulty in getting the desired quality i.e. the required temperature of water. We have to manually mix both the incoming hot and cold waters for getting warm water conditions. In other words, hot and cold water flow valves need to be operated manually. This newly devised mechanism aims at automating the process of delivering water at the user’s choice of temperature with affordable cost. Both the faucet valves are coupled to stepper motors which in turn is controlled by a microcontroller wherein provision is made for the user to set desired shower water temperature. This also takes into account in reducing the wastages in water consumption and power usage which else might occur otherwise during bathing process. It is a green technology which can be installed with all domestic water heaters and will fetch users the benefits of efficient water usage, energy and cost savings and increased comfort. We find many emerging trends like Tankless Water Heaters, Hands Free Faucets, etc which will provide you the best of bathing, but here arises the concept of high operating cost, high power ratings, and complex functioning, etc.
