Proposed Model for a Water Based Room Heater
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents the model and operating cost analysis of a water based room heater using a state-of-the-art micro-controller based Embedded Control Module (ECM). Water in the system is heated using an efficient instant gas heater. The ECM monitors the environment in the room using sensors located at different places, and heats selected areas by circulating hot water through radiators placed at appropriate locations. The ECM also keeps track of temperatures and water levels at different points in the system, and ensures efficient operation, so that the use of gas is minimized. A comparison of the cost of energy used by various existing heating methods and the proposed method is also presented.
