Diseño e implementación de un sistema automatizado para el ahorro de agua en la regulación de temperatura de duchas y lavamanos

Abstract

The degree project proposes the design, construction and implementation of a system to save water in showers and sinks through temperature control, with the aim of having a team to preserve this essential resource for life. The problem arises from the need to have hot water for hygiene and cleaning in homes, industries and companies, which allows obtaining the minimum temperature suitable for its use, and to achieve this objective there is currently a waste of a certain volume of water , which depends on the distance that the heater is placed from the shower and/or the sink. The project has been developed under a methodology guide that consists of several phases. In the first phase, it is proposed to obtain knowledge of different types of devices on the market and propose all the requirements for the design, which is developed in the theoretical foundations chapter. In the second phase, the operation of the system was programmed, complementing the equipment to the hydraulic system; the electronic components are then attached to the existing hydraulic system. And a final phase of the project, that shows the results of the saving of the vital liquid both in volume and in costs.
