Abstract
This paper presents an advanced automatic water discharge system tailored for diesel-powered machinery, particularly for vehicles operating in diverse climates, including humid coastal regions. The system is designed to protect fuel circuits in tanks and diesel engines of boats, offering either automatic or semi-automatic protection against oxidation and corrosion. This enhancement extends the lifespan of diesel components and pipelines while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs and intervention times. Additionally, the system improves fuel purity, resulting in increased engine power and efficiency. The proposed solution was experimentally validated using an Arduino board coupled with a water-sensitive detector in diesel fuel, suitable for installation in diesel filters or tanks. Experimental findings demonstrated a remarkably swift separation time of 150 microseconds for diesel and water at a pressure of 1 bar, achieving an impressive efficiency of 99.84%. The system's rapid and effective separation capability highlights its practical value, particularly in scenarios where efficient water removal is critical to sustaining engine performance and longevity.
期刊介绍:
The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency.
Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
