Specification

Description:Field of the Invention


The present disclosure generally relates to solar energy systems. Further, the present disclosure particularly relates to a system for harnessing solar energy and regulating water levels using heating and humidity sensing.
Background
The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Various systems have been developed to harness solar energy for multiple applications. Such systems generally consist of solar panel units that convert sunlight into usable electrical energy. Solar energy has gained significant attention due to being a renewable resource, reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Solar energy is commonly used to power various devices in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. However, there exist several limitations associated with the conventional systems, particularly when integrated with heating units and monitoring systems.
In several conventional systems, heating devices are often employed to evaporate liquids in specific applications. Such systems typically utilise direct electrical power from an energy source, resulting in inefficiency due to energy losses. The integration of solar panels with heating units is commonly observed; however, the process frequently results in energy losses due to uneven heating or the inability to regulate the energy output effectively. Further, conventional heating systems relying on solar power are often affected by weather conditions, causing fluctuations in energy output, which negatively affects the overall performance. Moreover, the systems fail to maintain consistent heat distribution across the heating unit, thereby leading to inefficiencies in the evaporation process.
Moreover, humidity sensors are often employed in various systems to measure and monitor the level of moisture. In conventional systems, such humidity sensors are used in conjunction with heating systems to ensure that moisture levels are kept within desired parameters. However, such systems are generally affected by external environmental conditions, leading to inaccuracies in moisture readings. Furthermore, traditional humidity sensors used with heating systems often lack the capability to effectively regulate water levels in response to changing humidity conditions, leading to a lack of balance in the water levels. The inefficiencies in monitoring and regulating moisture levels result in significant operational challenges, especially in systems involving the evaporation of liquids.
Furthermore, many conventional systems involve valves to regulate the flow of water or other liquids. However, existing valve systems are often inadequate in maintaining optimal water levels, especially in systems where moisture levels fluctuate significantly. The activation of valves in response to varying moisture levels often leads to delayed responses or inaccurate water regulation, further exacerbating operational inefficiencies. Moreover, existing systems generally lack the ability to integrate multiple components effectively to maintain a balanced water level in dynamic environments.
In addition to the above-discussed drawbacks, many conventional systems lack the ability to simultaneously integrate solar power with heating and moisture monitoring capabilities. The absence of such an integration often leads to inefficiencies, where each component operates in isolation, reducing the overall effectiveness of the system. The energy generated by the solar panels is often underutilised due to the lack of effective regulation, while the evaporation process remains inefficient. Additionally, existing systems typically suffer from poor responsiveness, where the components involved, such as valves and sensors, do not operate in harmony, resulting in suboptimal water level regulation and inefficient evaporation processes.
In light of the above discussion, there exists an urgent need for solutions that overcome the problems associated with conventional systems and/or techniques for effectively integrating solar energy, heating mechanisms, humidity monitoring, and water level regulation in a cohesive manner.

In an embodiment, the heating module (106) features a ceramic heating element designed to provide uniform heat distribution. The ceramic material offers excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring that heat is evenly spread across the surface of the liquid within the reservoir (108). This uniform distribution prevents the formation of hotspots, which could lead to uneven evaporation or localized overheating. The ceramic heating element's resistance to high temperatures and thermal shock allows for extended operational periods without degradation or loss of heating efficiency. The heating module (106), incorporating the ceramic element, delivers consistent thermal energy, allowing for a controlled evaporation process within the system (100). The durability of the ceramic material further enhances the system's ability to function reliably in harsh environments or during long-duration evaporation cycles.
In an embodiment, the humidity sensor (110) comprises a digital display unit that is aligned with the secondary valve (112) to provide real-time visual feedback on moisture levels. The digital display unit allows operators to monitor the current moisture readings at a glance, facilitating manual adjustments to the system (100) if necessary. By displaying real-time data collected by the humidity sensor (110), the digital display unit aids in the precise management of moisture levels within the system (100), preventing over-evaporation or under-evaporation. The alignment of the display unit with the secondary valve (112) allows for direct feedback and control, enabling operators to adjust the valve settings based on the visual information provided. This real-time feedback mechanism improves the accuracy of the evaporation process and ensures that moisture levels are consistently maintained.
In an embodiment, the secondary valve (112) is configured with an anti-clogging unit that prevents debris from obstructing the valve passage. The anti-clogging unit is positioned within the valve to capture or filter out particles that could otherwise block the fluid flow, ensuring the valve operates without interruption. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance or cleaning of the valve, as the anti-clogging unit continuously prevents the accumulation of material within the valve mechanism. The anti-clogging unit allows the secondary valve (112) to maintain consistent fluid flow, even in environments where the liquid being evaporated may contain impurities or debris. This feature enhances the reliability and longevity of the system (100), as the anti-clogging unit helps avoid valve blockages that could hinder the system's operation.
