Geyser Time Controller for Effective Electricity and Water Management

Abstract

Although water heating is an elementary activity in our daily lives, it has been transformed into an efficient technology using a water geyser system. Usage of hot water is incorporated in bathing during winters, washing oily utensils, fulfilling beauty needs at salon, commercial swimming pools and so on. Many individuals leave their water geyser switched on all the time. This results in a significant amount of electrical waste which leads to increased electricity bills. To substantiate the public's demand, the challenge is to make the mechanism more efficient in terms of saving water and electricity and less costly. Therefore, it is required to switch off the geyser once the desired temperature and quantity of water is reached. This paper presents a device for controlling a hot water geyser with an inbuilt time selection unit, comprising a level selection switch to set the temperature corresponding to a time interval and water level. The water holding tank contains a heating element with a controller operatively coupled to the time selection unit to operate as per the set parameters for hot water. The present invention is novel and unique from the cited references because it is a minimalistic version of geyser time controller, includes different time intervals with multiple levels, operates at low cost, efficient controllability of water temperature, automatic with reliable electronic design and can be fitted in the place of a fan regulator.
