FANS/ COOLERS

 

Thinking about our life without fans and coolers is unacceptable. We can say that fan is the basic need of today for everyone in summers. In rural areas, we can see fans in every home while in urban areas,fans and coolers both can be seen easily. Nowadays Air conditioners are coming into trend. Thus, as we all know it is of utmost importance in summers.

TECHNOLOGY USED-
⦁ In table fans or ceiling fans. We use Single Phase Induction Motor which are single phase permanent capacitor.
⦁ In coolers, we use technologies based on cooling system such as air-cooled, water-cooled, evaporative-cooled, dry fluid-cooled, ammonia-cooled etc., . Here we use Brushless Induction Motor.

TUBELIGHTS

As we all know we can illuminate our homes, offices, buildings. roads etc., just because of light. Tubelights are most commonly used product.
Before invention of bulb, candles or earthen lamps were used by humans. Nowadays rural areas are also getting the facility of electricity so that they can use lights and fans in their homes. While in urban areas, whatever decoration on boards and building we see are due to lights. Different types of lights are available in the market according to the technology used. One can choose from range and illuminate his/her home, office, building. Government provides street light for giving light to the people on road at night.

TECHNOLOGY USED-
⦁ FLUORESCENT TECHNOLOGY- Fluorescent tubelight work by ionising mercury vapour in a glass tube. This cause electrons in the gas to emit photons at UV frequencies and thus UV light is converted into standard visible light.
⦁ LED TECHNOLOGY- LED tubelight are produced using numerous low or medium power LEDs. With these light output and heat conduction are balanced out across the entire technology.
Main advantage is that LED tubelight are energy-efficient produce less heat and have long life.

REFRIGERATOR

What if for one week we are not allowed to use fridge in summer? What will be the result of it?
The result will give you normal water (which is said hot during summers) and perished fruits and vegetables which we bought from the market.
Refrigerator brings down the temperature inside it and thus gives cooling effects.
We use it every day for cool and chilled water to drink and put perishable fruits and vegetables which prevents these from getting perished. It is a blessing for us in summer.

TECHNOLOGY USED-
It is a process of removing heat from a low temperature reservoir and transferring it to a high temperature reservoir.

WATER FILTER

Clean water is essential for us to drink and to cook. Many disease like cholera, etc..,can cause if we drink dirty water.
Earlier earthen pots were used to get safe water. But today we need more clean water as the water we get from the source have so much harmful chemicals and impurities. Nowadays we have water filters available in the markets which we use at home.

TECHNOLOGY USED –
There are many technologies used for purification of water. Most widely used methods are:-
⦁ REVERSE OSMOSIS – Membrane is used to remove dissolved salts, bacteria, harmful chemicals, microbes etc., and allow only water to pass through it.
⦁ UV PURIFICATION (E-BOILING)- This method uses UV light to kill germs and bacteria. Small lamp inside purifier emit small UV waves that destroy bacteria and viruses present in the water.
Most purifier has both methods combined so that they can purify first dirt particles and then invisible germs and bacteria.
