LPG CYLINDER AUTO FILLING AND GAS LEAKAGE DETECTION

The project “LPG Cylinder Auto Filling and Gas Leakage Detection” integrates IoT technology for automating the LPG cylinder filling process and detecting gas leakages. The system utilizes a Load Cell connected to a Node MCU to measure the weight of the cylinder. Concurrently, a gas sensor interfaced with an Arduino board detects any gas leakages. Through serial communication between the Node MCU and Arduino, the weight data from the Load Cell is transmitted to the Arduino, which then displays both the weight information and gas leakage status on an LCD display. Additionally, a Python installed PC is employed to facilitate email notifications. Upon detecting a gas leak or a decrease in weight, the Arduino sends this information to the Python PC via serial communication. Subsequently, email alerts are generated and sent to the designated recipients, notifying them of the detected gas leakage and the need for refilling the cylinder. Moreover, in case of a gas leak, the system activates a pump to initiate the refilling process. Through this integrated approach, the project aims to enhance safety and efficiency in LPG cylinder management.
