ROAD COOLING USING MIST SYSTEM
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Automatic Outdoor Cooling System is designed to provide a smart and efficient method for reducing ambient temperature in outdoor environments using a mist cooling mechanism. The system operates automatically by sensing environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and activates the pressure pump and foggers accordingly to spray a fine mist, which cools the surrounding air through evaporation.The system is powered by a power source that supplies energy to all components, including the microcontroller, sensors, and pump. The temperature and humidity sensor continuously monitors the weather conditions and sends real-time data to the microcontroller, which serves as the central control unit. Based on the sensed data, the microcontroller processes the inputs and decides whether the cooling mechanism needs to be turned ON or OFF.A 16×2 LCD display is interfaced with the microcontroller to display system information such as current temperature, humidity, and operating status. Additionally, a manual control panel is provided, allowing users to manually operate or override the automatic function when required.To enhance user convenience, the system is also equipped with a wireless communication module that connects to a mobile dashboard. Through this dashboard, users can remotely monitor environmental data and control the system via a web-based or mobile interface, mirroring the LCD display and control panel functions.This system ensures efficient water utilization, energy savings, and improved comfort in outdoor areas such as gardens, patios, greenhouses, and open-air spaces. By automating the cooling process based on real-time conditions, it eliminates the need for constant manual intervention, offering a reliable and eco-friendly solution for outdoor temperature regulation.
