Solar Agro Sprayer

(1) The Solar Agro Sprayer is a machine that uses solar energy to power a sprayer for agricultural purposes. (2) It converts solar energy to electrical energy via solar cells which is then stored in a battery to power a DC motor and sprayer unit. (3) The sprayer can be used to disperse both liquid substances and powder particles and has advantages over engine-powered sprayers like being more environmentally friendly and having lower maintenance costs.

SOLAR AGRO SPRAYER

SYNOPSIS
The machine, Solar Agro Sprayer, we introduce through our project is mainly
useful for Agricultural purpose. This machine works under non-conventional energy
which is the ultimate source for all living beings. This machine is introduced first to
replace the Engine run under petroleum product which causes pollution and also in favor
of saving fuels for coming generation. The solar energy is converted into electrical
energy with the help of solar cells.
The converted electrical energy is completely stored in the battery. A D.C. Motor
is run by utilizing this electrical energy. A dust of pesticide is sprayed with the help of
sprayer unit. This machine is also used to spray not only the liquid substance and also
powder particles.

INTRODUCTION
Solar radiation is format among the promising new source of energy. India
receives annually over 60 x 1000 MWH of solar insulation with a span of 3000 3200
hrs in Rajasthan, Gujarat, West of Madhya Pradesh and North of Maharashtra; and 2600
2800 hours in the rest of the country excepting kerals, Assam and Kashmir. Energy from
the sun can be utilized in multivarious ways. It can be tapped directly from solar
radiation in the form of thermal, thermodynamic and photovoltaic energy and indirectly
through the production of phytoman and other related energy sources such as wind,
hydropower and ocean energy all of which are the result of solar radiation on the planet
Earth. The contribution of these sources in the total consumption of energy in the world
is about 15%.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The blower fan is made to rotate by using a 12 V DC motor. The supply of the
current is been given from the 12 V battery provided. The chemical liquid provided in
the tank may reach the nose for spray by the gravitational force. The air produced in the
blower unit is supplied one part to the chemical tank through a filter tube. The panel
board is fixed by providing the M.S. The board can be adjusted to any angle by a tilting
mechanism (Manual). The board is made to rotate by providing a bolt and nut. During
the sunshine the panel board absorbs the heat energy from the sun and it converts it to the
electrical energy and sends the current to the battery for the storage provision. The stored
energy from battery is supplied to the motor for operating the blower fan. The discharge
of the electrical energy from the battery will be equal to the charging of the battery by the
solar photo voltaic cell.

Before filling the chemical in chemical tank, please ascertain that the throttle
control valve is closed. The capacity of chemical tank is even though it is more than 10
liters. Liquid chemical should be placed into it only 10 liters. Remove the cup from the
filler hole. A strainer cup is placed in the filler hole. A PVC tube connected with the
bottom of the tank is attached to the filter cup from under it, which brings in a jet of air
from the blower for correcting air cushion over the liquid chemical for creating air
cushion. The liquid chemical for ensuring free flow of the liquid to the nozzle One end of
the PVC tube is fitted with a socket which should be inserted tight into the cavity at the
bottom of the chemical tank.
In case of adjust the dosage scale for required type of spraying. Load the tank with
previously well strained liquid through the strainer provided in the filler hole of tank. It
is advisable not load the tank to its full capacity. It recommended allowing about 0.5 liter
space for air cushion. For efficient performance, replace the cup tight.

Before mounting the machine on your back, start the motor. Engage the left hand
shoulder strap in the hook at the base of the frame. Insert your left arm in the sling
keeping the padding on your shoulder.
