Heat and Moisture Management for Automatic Air Conditioning of a Domestic Household Using FA-ZnO Nanocomposite as Smart Sensing Material
April 18, 2023
Abstract
Prior to the year 2000, air conditioning was not common in many cities throughout the world. However, today, 20 years later, air conditioning is common. This circumstance has a negative impact on the climate. Additionally, the situation regarding energy usage as a result of this is alarming. For a healthy and pleasant livelihood, indoor temperature and air flow must be controlled. False partitions with insulating layers have been used to regulate the temperature inside rooms, but they are unable to regulate the variation in humidity caused by the exchange of water between interior and exterior walls. In this manuscript, we provide a sensory system that can automatically detect relative humidity and temperature. Temperature is sensed at each layer of the false partition using an LM35-based integrated circuit and humidity is detected by an FA−ZnO nano-composite layer through an indoor false partition owing to changes in the material’s resistance. Depending upon the change in resistance based on the fluctuation in temperature, the corresponding current responds by arduino microcontroller, and thus triggers the automated ON and OFF switch for air conditioning. Living and non-living bodies both lead pleasant and healthy lives when indoor units are managed properly.
