Automatic faucets how do they work
Automatic Faucets How Do They Work
Due to COVID outbreak sanitation in public restrooms have never been more important. One
of the ways that you can ensure better sanitation is through touchless (automatic)
faucets. The choice of the right faucet definitely matters regardless
of whether you are using it for commercial, residential,
washroom or a kitchen.
If you've been to hospitals, airports, restaurants etc. you may have
seen automatic faucets
and how they operate.
The technologies used in the automatic faucet are quite old but,
it's only recent that these technologies were extended to faucets.
Whether you have seen it or not, it might be of interest to understand the
working of an
automatic faucet.
In this article, you will understand all you need to know
about
how automatic faucets work!
How do automatic faucets work?
The functioning of an automatic faucet includes four main parts which are as follows.
They work collectively, each playing its special role, in order to make
the touchless faucet work.
The sensor:
In a sensor faucet, the sensor is located at the base or lip of the spout and is
designed in a way that it detects the presence of the hand when placed under it
and sends the signal to turn on the faucet.
Similarly, when you remove your hand, it detects the absence of the hand and tells the
faucet to turn off. Most of these sensors work with the help of infrared light and
infrared detectors. When your hand comes near the spout, the infrared
light bounces off the skin and moves to the detector
which in turn turns of the valve of the faucet.
Some faucets also make use of an ultrasonic field sensor which will turn on the faucet
once the field is disrupted by the presence of the hand.
Solenoid valve:
The solenoid valve of the sensor faucet is an electromagnet which
can pull or push based on the electric polarity. These valves make use of a disk
which is rubber-like to control the flow of water.
While the valve is normally closed, the presence of the hand leads to the solenoid
pulling the valve to the water is opened. And when the hands are
removed, it pushes the valve to close again.
Power source:
All sensor faucets use a power source to operate. Some make
use of dry-battery while others make use of low-voltage current from
an AC transformer. This electricity is responsible for powering
the sensor, controlling electronics and the water valve.
The spout:
The spouts of a touch less faucet are where the design purpose lies.
The final look and finish of the faucet is done by the spout and is also the
reason why people may choose one faucet over the other.
They are responsible for holding all the parts of the faucet together and also
where the water comes out from!
Types of Faucets
T
here are several types of automatic faucets, like the ones discussed above;
AC transformer-operated and dry-battery operated
Where can automatic faucets be installed?
You will find automatic faucets almost in all commercial places like airports,
restaurants etc. as well as in residential uses such as in washrooms
and kitchens of some homes.
Some of the best touchless faucets, Here are some of the best
touchless faucets you will find!
Fontana Belmont Temperature Control Wall Mount Touchless Automatic Sensor Faucet
Riviera Wall Mount Chrome Sensor Bathroom Faucet
Fontana Lima Chrome Automatic Sensor Sink Faucet
Benefits of automatic faucets
Why are people increasingly shifting to the use of automatic faucets? Here are a few reasons why!
An automatic sensor faucet offers the benefit of decreasing water consumption because it only
flows in the time that the water is needed and is being used.
One of the much-noted benefits of a touchless faucet is that it tends to be water-saving
and greatly helpful for those who forget to turn off the tap.
A great variety of electronic faucets are now available which provide your bathroom
and kitchen a modern and stylish look. This is also increasingly the reason why
people have shifted to making use of these electronic faucets.
The very fact that the touch-less, automatic faucets are battery-operated makes
the energy consumption ultra-low thus reducing the energy use.
One of the major benefits is that you can feel at ease knowing that your hands
are free of germs. With a touch less bathroom faucet the possibility of
germ or bacteria being present on the faucet is entirely removed
