Design, Development and Testing of Solar Iron Box for Smart Home

Cloth ironing run by charcoal employs the utilization of domestic coal. The underdeveloped cities face a problem of reduced domestic charcoal supply required for heating the iron. The use of charcoal for cloth ironing causes environmental pollution. Due to the presence of sulfur dioxide content in coal, the burning of coal liberates SO

which has a detrimental effect on our respiratory system. Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, and particulate emissions from coal-based thermal irons form major environmental pollutants. To address these problems, a solar-based iron press has been developed and tested through experimentation. Finally, the proposed system has been analyzed for compatibility check to develop the product in the real market. Moreover, the payback calculations have been done for the feasibility of product development and validated through experimental results.
