Automatic Solar Air Compressor

With the increased urge for the vehicles in the day to day life for today’s generation has led to have a continuous review over the status and working condition of the vehicles. Basically, the inflation of the tire and its wear condition. One of the presently used methods is, using the compressors running on the electricity. This manual or electric inflation causes following difficulties. Heavy force is required manually to push the piston along with the bearing in the head stock bore. Regular increase in the electric fares. Unreachable to the remote areas, where electricity is still a dream. Not safe for the user on a monetary basis. This project is to design and fabricate to minimize manual work as well as to use renewable source of energy by using a solar panel and to overcome the above difficulties. The main objective project is monitoring an air pressure level and automatic refilling of air is designed with our project. Designing and Fabrication of solar based air compressor has the following merits, Environmentally friendly. More economical, as solar energy is abundantly available. Continuous monitoring of air pressure on LCD. Easy to maintain. This process started from the literature survey. Some of the papers reviewed were “Automatic solar based air compressor�. Accordingly, a PIC microcontroller is used in this project. Micro controller has the input modules like pressure sensor, control potentiometer for monitoring an air pressure and output modules are LCD display, relay. Air Compressor, solar panel, battery.
