 ABSTRACT

Our basic motive is to regulate the operating power in solar cooler. This project
presents results of an experimental investigation carried out to minimize the
power consumption of a solar cooler running at various speeds.
The experiment have been carried out for a total of three speeds that is low,
medium and high.
We have replace AC motor which is traditional coolers with DC motor. DC motor
is highly efficient since no electrical energy is used. Its size is more compact and
a better performance can be expected due to higher magnetic flux density in
air gap . DC motor has an essentially simplified construction and it is a
maintenance free.

 INTRODUCTION

Our project “Solar Cooler” is based on the concept of harvesting solar energy
it is easily interpretable from the name of the project that is based on the
solar energy for satisfying its need of power source . The functionality of
solar cooler is dissimilar as that of the traditional coolers . The solar energy is
harvested and stored in a battery . This battery is in turn connected to the
solar cooler for the power source .

The concept of solar cooler sounds good and economical hence almost every
class of our society can bear it expenses. The best part is that, it can be used
even in rural areas where there will be no supply of electricity.

 EXPLANATION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM

Solar panel will take input in form of sunlight and convert it into electric energy which will
be provided to charging circuit. In absence of sunlight the charging circuit will directly get
connected to AC230V supply. The output of solar panel is regulated to charge DC battery.

We also used deep discharge protection which will stop the cooler if the battery level goes
below the threshold level. We have used two different regulators since 5V is required by
Micro-controller and 12V is used by motor.

We are using the remote for controlling the speed of cooler and for on/ off the cooler and
to select the fan and motor and manual or auto mode.

SOLAR PANEL
INTRODUCTION

A solar panel Is a set of solar photovoltaic modules electrically connected and

Mounted on a supporting structure . A photovoltaic module is a package Connected
assembly of solar cells.
The solar panel can be used as a component of a large photovoltaic system to
Generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications.
Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test condition
And typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts.
A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power, most Installations
contain multiple modules.
CONSTRUCTION

Solar module use light energy (photons) from the sun to generate electricity through
the photovoltaic effect. The majority of modules use wafer – based crystalline silicon cells ,
thin film cells based on cadmium telluride or silicon the structural member of a module can
either be the top or the back layer.

Cells must also be protected from mechanical damage and moisture. Most solar module are
rigid, but semi - flexible ones are available, based on Thin film cells. These early solar module
were first used in space in 1958.

Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in
parallel to provide a desired current capability. The conducting Wires that take the current
of the module may contain silver , copper or Other non- magnetic conductive transition
metals.
EFFICIENCY

Depending on construction, photovoltaic modules can produces electricity From a range

Of frequencies of light, but usually cannot cover the entire Solar range (specifically, UV,
Infrared and low or diffused light) . Hence much of the incident sunlight energy is wasted
by solar module, and they can give Far higher efficiencies if illuminated with monochromatic
light.

Micro inverted solar panels are wired in parallel which produces more output than
normal panel which are wired in series with the output of the Series determine by the lowest
performing panel(this known as “Christmas Light effect). Micro inverted work independently
so each panel contributes Its maximum possible output given the available sunlight.
 BATTERY

INTRODUCTION

The common battery (dry cell) is a device that charges chemical energy to electrical energy.
dry cells are widely used in toys , flashlight , portable Radios, cameras, hearing aids and
other devices in common use . A battery consists of an outer case made of zinc ( the
negative electrode), a carbon rod in the centre of the cell ( the positive electrode ), and the
space between them field with an electrolyte paste. In operation the electrolyte, consisting
of ground carbon , manganese dioxide , Sal ammoniac and zinc chloride , cause the
electrons to flow and produces electricity.
WORKING

Electricity is the flow of electron through a circuit or conductive path like wire . Batteries
have three parts , an anode (-) , a cathode (+) , and the electrolyte . The cathode and
Anode (the positive and negative side at either End of a smaller battery ) and hooked up to
electrical circuit.

The chemical reaction in the battery causes a buildup of electron at the anode. This
results in an electrical difference between the anode and the Cathode.

When a battery is recharged , the direction of the flow of electrons is changed , the
Electrochemical process happen in reverse , and the anode and cathode are restored to
Their original state and an again provide full power.
 POWER SUPPLY

12V power supplies are one of the most common power supplies in use today . In
general, a 12V DC output is obtained from a 120V AC or 240v AC input using a
combination of transformers , diodes and transistors.
12V power supplies can be of two type : 12v regulated power supplies and unregulated
power supplies. Power supply is suitable for powering a wide range of applications including
CCTV cameras and wireless routers.

SPECIALITY :-

• Pump protection & empty water alarm (without sensor).

 DC MOTOR

INTRODUCTION

A DC motor is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical Energy. It

depends for its operation on the force which is known to exist on conductor carrying
a current while situated in a magnetic field . It is a motor That runs on direct current
electricity. When current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field it experience
a force.
CONSTRUCTION

• FIELD POLES – The pole shoe acts as a support to the field coils and spread out the
flux in the air gap and reduce the reluctance of magnetic field.

• FRAME – The frame is the stationary part of a machine in which poles and rotor are
stationed.

• ARMATURE – The armature consists of a core and winding . It is build up of thin

lamination of low loss silicon steel (0.4 to 0.5).

• COMMUTATOR – A commutator converts alternating voltage to direct voltage. It is

a cylindrical structure build up of segment made drawn copper.

• BRUSHES – The use of brushes is made for machines designed for large current at
low voltage.

• ARMATURE WINDING – The winding must be designated with the most advantage
utilization of the material in respect to weight and efficiency.
