DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A HOT & AMBIENT WATER FILTER

This paper presents the design and development of a stainless steel (SS)-based water filtration system capable of treating both hot and ambient water. Conventional systems are limited to ambient conditions, reducing their applicability in temperature-variable environments. The proposed system integrates sedimentation, activated carbon, and ultrafiltration (UF) to remove impurities and microorganisms effectively. The SS construction ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and hygienic operation. A heating unit with temperature control and dual storage tanks enables efficient performance across a wide temperature range. Experimental results demonstrate consistent filtration efficiency, making the system suitable for domestic, healthcare, and industrial applications.
