The Aerator Water for Treatment Using Solar Cell Energy

Abstract

The research presents an aerator for water treatment by using a microcontroller to control a relay switch to operate the motor through an application to apply with aerator. The system of the machine consists of 2 plastic floats measuring 30x129x30 cm. The 350 watts DC motor was used to drive the aerator solar cell energy, it installed on turbine blade diameter 60 cm. This system will help treat water by adding oxygen to the water. From the test, it was found that this system, can be turned on – off the motor by remotely controlled via mobile phone. The experiment is operated in land of community area of Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan Province. It found that, the turbine system can run 8 hours continuously, the rotation speed is between 250-350 rpm. Then measure the amount of oxygen in the water, 5 meters away from the aerator, found that the oxygen in the water can be increased on average about 3.0 mg/L.
