Análisis, diseño e implementación de un sistema de encendido con microgeneración hidráulica de un calefón a gas para evitar el uso de pilas.

Abstract

The objective of the present graduation work was to design and implement an alternative ignition system with a hydraulic hydroelectric generation of a gas heater to avoid the use of batteries. This involved specifying the functional input requirements. The flow rate of a domestic network with a high tank was measured. In the pipe that feeds the cold water heater with a Hall effect flow sensor, connecting an Arduino board, and the net height of this system was also determined, with these initial parameters it was possible to select the Pelton turbine type, with considerations of the geometry of the blades of the Michell-Banki turbine. A preliminary dimensioning of the components of the packaging device was made to theoretical formulations and design criteria, then proceeded to perform the modeling of the geometry in the SOLIDWORKS software, for further validation and simulation of trajectories in the ANSYS software. When defining the manufacturing process (3D printing) and Material Selection (ABS), the construction and assembly of the device was carried out in series with the flow sensor, and with a multimeter, voltage values higher than 4.2 V were obtained, with a minimum flow of 4099 L/min, so it is necessary to install a voltage regulation circuit to avoid damaging the heating control module and reduce the voltage to 1.5 V. As a result of the work a design methodology is provided for a micro hydro-generator device system that is implemented in the network that feeds the gas heater for its ignition without the use of batteries.
