Water Turbidity Sensor with Analog Output Module
This is a Turbidity Sensor with Module, a device that monitors water quality by measuring how much light is scattered by suspended particles. It can work with various microcontroller platforms, such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC, ARM, AVR and others.
The Turbidity Sensor has an infrared light emitter at its tip, which is invisible to human eyes. It detects the amount of particles in the water by measuring the light transmission and scattering rate. The more particles there are, the higher the turbidity of the water.
The Turbidity Sensor can send the measurement data to the microcontroller through digital or analog signals from the pins on the attached electronic module.
The Turbidity Sensor can be used in projects that involve monitoring the water turbidity in rivers, lakes, streams, reservoirs, research sites, laboratories, liquid tanks and more. It has a waterproof tip that can directly contact the water.
Theory of Operation
The sensor operates on the principle that when the light is passed through a sample of water, the amount of light transmitted through the sample is dependent on the amount of soil in the water. As the soil level increases, the amount of transmitted light decreases. The turbidity sensor measures the amount of transmitted light to determine the turbidity of the wash water. These turbidity measurements are sent to the dishwasher controller, which makes decisions on how long to wash in all the cycles.
These decisions are made on the basis of a comparison between clean water measurements (taken at the beginning of the wash cycle) and the wash water turbidity measurement taken at the end of each wash cycle. By measuring the turbidity of the wash water, the dishwasher can conserve energy on lightly soiled loads by only washing as long as necessary. This will result in energy savings for the consumer.
