Study Case: Data Acquisition System to Evaluate the Water Generation of an Evaporator

The proposed prototype is an automated system to obtain water from the Carnot cycle, using microcontrollers for regulation and data collection of the temperature, pressure, and relative humidity. Water generation is a necessity in some countries, and many people do not have access to water to meet their daily needs. The methodology consisted in the development of a data acquisition system consisting of electronic circuits and processing systems. This system is composed of a microcontroller and a machine vision system that detects the optimal point of water production. The results show the production of 79 ml of water in cycle 1, and 69 ml of water in cycle 2 with an RGB reaches more than 140 in the grayscale. Therefore, the authors conclude that by the time the sum of RGB values greater than 140 reaches 1247, the refrigeration system has already generated the maximum amount of ice.
