Introduction
These systems uses an Embedded system which is incor- porated with 8051 micro controller which is an 8 bit control- ler (Access 8 bit instruction at a time).faced with IR sensors and temperature sensing IC as inputs. The IR sensors counts the number of people entering and leaving the system and updates the logic in the micro controller registers and sends appropriate signals to the AC controllers via relays or switching circuits which in turn stops/resumes the cooling.
In case the number of employees working in the building is less than 35% then the HVAC is turned off and Split ACs are turned on. This IC also sends signals to the micro con- troller incase of high temperatures reached and micro con- troller can send alarm signal.
In this system, to improve the Development of embedded system for Saving Energy in Air Conditioner it tracks the number of persons entering to the corporate bay and switch- es/regulates HVAC or Split units.
AC in Corporate
HVAC Heating Ventilation and Air cooling plays a vital role in Corporate. Brief on AC and Electrical Energy: The thumb rule of plan- ning a AC system is for every 100 -110 sft we require 1 Tr of AC in corporate world wherein TR is defined a Tons of refrigeration. (1 TR: 1 tone of refrigeration is the rate of heat removal required to freeze a metric ton (1000 kg) of water at 0C in 24 hours).
To achieve this we require 3.517kW approx. If a corporate place of 1, 00,000sft requires a AC unit. Then we require at least 1000 TR of Chiller plant. International Journal of Innovatory Research in Science and Management IJIRSM www.ijirusa.webs.com
ISSN: XXXX-XXXX Volume X, Issue X, Month Year 2 So 1000Tr x 3.14Kw = 3140kW is required as a pre demand which is very huge. Efficiently using AC can help us in sav- ing energy by using SOP for efficient usage.
Microcontroller 8051
Fig1 8051 Microcontroller
128 byte RAM 4kb ROM 2timer 4ports Port0->data address Port1, port3->interfacing Port2-> low port of the address Port3->Multifunction
To control the efficiency of AC system using microcontrol- ler it is loaded with a hex code which is converted from a Embedded C program.
Interrupts: As the name suggests, Interrupt is a subroutine call that interrupts microcontroller during the process or ex- ecution of any program which is important at that time . CPU: It monitors and controls all operations that are per- formed in the microcontroller. It reads the program that is in the ROM memory and executes them and does the expected task.
Memory: Microcontroller requires two kinds of memory such as RAM and ROM.ROM for the program to be saved and read by the microcontroller RAM for the temporary storage of data.
BUS: It is a collection of wires which works as a communi- cation channel or medium for the transfer of Data. The two types of buses are:
Address bus-It has 16 bit address bus used to address memory locations that transfers the address from CPU to memory.
Data bus-It has 8 bit data bus that is used to carry data.
Oscillator:8051 has an on-chip oscillator which works as a clock source for CPU.As the output pulses of, oscillator are stable therefore it enables synchronized work of all parts of microcontroller.
Input/output Port: Microcontroller is used in the embedded systems to control the operations of machines therefore to connect it to other machines or devices we require I/O ports.
Timers/Counters: 8051 has two 16-bit timers and counters. The counters are divided into 8-bit registers. The timers are used for measurement of intervals, to determine pulse width.
Proposed System
In this proposed system, to improve the Development of embedded system for Saving Energy in Air Conditioner it tracks the number of persons entering to the corporate bay and switches/regulates HVAC or Split units. Also it regu- lates the temperature as per real time and also gives alarm incase more temperature is reached. The System is also equipped with Zig-bee to transmit data of people from dif- ferent places in the Facility. Our project assumes having a corporate unit with both facilities of HVAC and Split units. In case the number of employees working in the building is less than 35% then the HVAC is turned off and Split ACs are turned On, This IC also sends signals to the microcon- troller in case of high temperatures reached and microcon- troller can send alarm signal. Thus the system can also be used Fire safety device. Whenever it increase the high tem- perature the microcontroller signals to the buzzer this buzzer produces the beep sound to alert the people during fire acci- dent in the same time fire safety device is activated.
Advantages of Air Conditioner Using Zigbee
Energy Saving to a great Extend. Supports Green Energy. We can also have an idea of how many people are there in the building therefore we can plan evacua- tion in a efficient in case of any emergency scenari- os like Fire, Earth quake. The micro controller is interfaced with IR sensors and temperature sensing IC as inputs. International Journal of Innovatory Research in Science and Management IJIRSM www.ijirusa.webs.com ISSN: XXXX-XXXX Volume X, Issue X, Month Year 3 The IR sensors counts the number of people enter- ing and leaving the system and updates the logic in the micro controller registers and sends appropriate signals to the AC controllers via relays or switching circuits which in turn stops/resumes the cooling. Even as the temperature sensor IC monitors the room temperature constantly and sends signals to the micro controller to maintain the room tempera- ture.
Block Diagram
Fig2 Interfacing via microcontroller
Working principle of air conditioner
In the fig2, whenever a person crosses the IR signal in the fig2, the IR signal is interrupted. The microcontroller incre- ments the count and displays on to the LCD. Accordingly the temperature sensor is activated, for specified temperature increase it gives signal to the microcontroller to turn ON the Relay units and the respective ACs will be started. As shown in the fig2.This process goes on until the number of mem- bers exceeds 10 (or as per requirement).When members ex- ceed 10, mini-fans are activated by microcontroller, accord- ing to the temperature readings. If members are below 10, mini fans are deactivated. If members entering more than 100 in the bay then HVAC is activated automatically (HVAC is the technology of indoor and vehicular environ- mental comfort). HVAC is important in the design of medi- um to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrap- ers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with re- spect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from out- doors.
Flow Chart
Fig3 algorithm for temp check
In the fig3 it checks the temperature. If the temperature is lesser than 25 degree celsius then it turns off the HVAC and if the temperature is greater than 25 degree celsius then it turns on the HVAC.
Fig4 algorithm for switching HVAC to split
In fig4 First it will check the number of members entering into the room, if number of people is less than 35% in the room HVAC will be turned OFF and split AC will be turned ON, otherwise if number of people more than 35% in the room HVAC will be turned ON and split AC will be turned OFF.
