PROJECT PROPOSAL ECN-104

TITLE:ELECTRONIC WATER
LEVEL CONTROLLER DEVICE
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
As the name suggests ,this device is used to control the level of
water in tanks. The filling of water in tanks is done through
electrical motors nowadays. If we don’t turn ON or OFF the motor
at certain times then there is a risk of less filled tanks or overflow
of water in tanks leading to the wastage of water. In order to avoid
such situations, we can design an automatic water level controller
device which can monitor the level of water and then it can switch
ON or OFF the motor accordingly. This is the motivation behind the
making of this project.

REASON BEHIND CHOSING THIS PROJECT:

I found that this project is the perfect example of applications of
electronic circuits in solving the simple daily life problems. And also
this project is environment saving as it reduces the wastage of
water. This is also a reason that made me choose this project.
BASIC WORKING PRINCIPLE:
This device has two level indicators which work in coordination
with a power switching relay. This relay is the one which connects
the pump to the mains power supply. If the system indicates that
the water level in the tank is low below a certain level, then the
system turns ON the power supply to the pump and water starts
filling in the tank. And when the system indicates that the water
level is higher than the prescribed level, it switches OFF the power
supply to the pump and the tank stops filling.
The conductivity of water is the property that makes the level
sensor to work. With a reference level at the bottom ,we attach the
rest two of the high and low level sensing wire terminals at their
respective positions. At the time when water is not the high level,
the circuit triggers the low level LED and also the relay to turn ON
the water pump. Once the water level catches up the high level, the
high level indicator is turned ON and the relay is switched to turn
OFF the water pump till the next low level trigger.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
EXPLANATION:
When the water level is below low level, both the sensors shows
zero and hence the Data and Enable both are 1,so the output of the
D latch is 1 and hence the pump is on. As the low becomes 1 the
enable becomes 0 and the Data also becomes zero but the enable
becomes zero first due to low delay time and hence the output is
still 1(as it retains the previous value),so the pump is still on. Now
as the high becomes 1,the Enable becomes 1 and the Data becomes
0, so the output becomes 0 and the pump goes off. And the pump
remains off till the water level goes below low again. That is how
our circuit works.

USES:
The use of this type of device is to prevent wastage of water in big
tanks. If we do this work manually then we require workers to take
care about the water level time to time and they switch ON or OFF
the pump accordingly . But if we use this device then it would be
easy to take care of the overflow of water and no labour is required
for it. Also we are saving water by the help of this which is also a
plus point.
