Abstract The Automatic car wash is designed to wash sedan type of cars available in Indian Market. Ranging for as small as Honda Amaze (3.9m) to as long as Mercedes S550 MayBach (5.45m).The number of cars are increasing on Indian roads exponentially, as the purchasing power of people are increasing. Hence there is a need of High end Technology that fast, quick & efficient. People nowadays are more concern about the looks of car & a car lover won’t like his car dirty. So this project would be smart solution to the problem. It also has to be eco-friendly & should not harm our environment. As a dirt on car can cause many problems ranging from spoiling of paint job to even causing hindrance in working of suspensions. The machine is fully contained in its own structure, no drawbacks & easily transportable. The machine simply needs a flat surface for installation which can be created in case not available. Owners of service centre can make use of this project so that to reduce manpower. As this is fast, mall owner can make this washer available to the customer, so that they will receive their car clean.

INTRODUCTION

K. Vidyasagar, R. Ramprasad & P. Nagasekhar in RFID-GSM Autonomous Car Washing System explained about the use of microcontroller to process to process the operation of automatic car washer. It describes use of various IR sensors, RFID technology & GSM technology. To transfer the vehicle from entry point to workstation conveyer mechanism is used. Dirty surface location on car is traced by dust particle detection sensor. Sprinkler and drying mechanism is used for washing of vehicle. RFID-GSM technology is to be used where RFID avoids wrong detection of vehicles while GSM technology is used to inform customer about washing status of the vehicle.

Mr. Bambare Tejas, Ms. Bondre Varsha, Mr. Kapse Manoj, Mr. Khairnar Ketan, Mr. Kotkar in Automatic car washing and drying system explains about the use of electro-mechanical system for controlling automatic car washer. The mechanism for automatic car washer includes lifting of parallel vehicles and moving in forward direction. Then washing of vehicles takes place firstly with foam water then with soap water and again with clean water. Finally vehicle is lifted again and placed back parallel.

The system is mainly divided into two section namely mechanical assembly and electrical control. It stresses the use of PLC in controlling of car washer.

Mr. Amir Hossein, Daei Sorkhabi & Bita Khazini in Manufacturing of full automatic carwash using with intelligent control algorithm explains about the use of Programmable logic controller (PLC) in intelligent automatic car washer. The intelligent car washer has the ability to sense the dimensions of the car. The dimensions of vehicle plays important role to adjust various parameters such as washing brush position and time duration. This automation helps to increase speed, accuracy, productivity, safety along with reducing time and cost of washing.

Mr. Vivek Kumar Yadav, Suryansh Tyagi & Gulshan Kumar in Automatic car washing using PLC explained PLC based automatic car washer. PLC is a programmable micro controller which is a type of micro controller, in which car enters washing centre and automatically gets cleaned up. They have various components in the system such as conveyer belts, sensors, DC motors, brushes & dryers. All this components are controlled by PLC. Approximately 35 gallons of water is used in washing of vehicle.

Also washing of vehicle produces micro scratches on vehicle which is overcome in this. The main component of the project are PLC & SMPS which are connected. The SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to convert electrical power efficiently. SMPS transfers power from source like main power. Now this power enters PLC which is a digital computer used in industries for typical industrial electromechanical process. There are multiple arrangements of input and output in PLC which can be digital or analog.

Prof. Mhaske D.A., Bhavthankar R.G., Saindane A.R., Drade D.J. in PLC based car washing system explained about the use of PLC (programmable logic controller) for processing the operation of automatic car washer. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is normally called as Programmable controller. It is a strong state, computerized, Industrial Computer stations. It comprises of vast machines with robotized brushes controlled by project legitimate controllers. Programmed auto washing framework is completely robotized with various phases of frothing, washing, drying and brushing. The PLC recognizes what to do through a project that was created and afterward gone into its memory. Programmable rationale controller is one of the best robotized gadgets, which is particularly used to work the particular framework programmed.

Seyyed M. M. Saber and Joao M. Nobrega in Design of a drying system for a rollover carwash machine using CFD explained about a drying system for a rollover carwash machine using CFD. A model is presented for the detachment of water droplets on solid surfaces based on airflow-imposed shear stress. This system is composed of a pair of stationary vertical dryers and a moveable horizontal dryer that can adjust itself to the contour of a vehicle. One of the main design patents for a rollover carwash was proposed

by Schleeter which is a portable apparatus comprising of an upright U-shaped system. . The travelling frame is first moved in one direction so that the body is washed, and then in reverse to dry the vehicle. The architecture of the drying system of the present rollover car washing machines is composed of two fixed vertical dryers on the sides, which are accommodated in the columns and fed by two centrifugal fans, and also a movable horizontal dryer with two centrifugal fans mounted at each end. This system of a carwash machine effectively forces the water droplets downwards away from the roof and sides of the vehicle.

Zeenal Lalluwadia ,Nidhi Bhatia, Jayana Rana, in Automatic car washing system using PLC explained about car washing system using SCADA and PLC. The washing system has three main processes namely washing, cleaning and drying. Hence the exterior of the car will be washed by detecting the car on conveyor belt and further controlled by PLC &SCADA. It consists Conveyor Belt, DC Motor, Inductive Type Proximity sensor, PLC, Relay, and Solenoid Valve. This system utilizes control using PLC, SCADA system will be installed on the operator panel and hence the operator can monitor and control the whole process. In this System, all the operations clean the car successfully by using PLC and hybrid compact logic L43 DCS, also developed mimic of the whole system on SCADA RS VIEW 32.

Pranoti Utekar, Sayali Naik, Monika Wadekar & S.G. Watve in Implementation of auto car washing system using two robotic arms explains about the use of two robotic arms for washing of car. One is on the ceiling wall and other on longitudinal wall along with circular brush for cleaning the wheel. Robotic arm1 cleans the sides of the body while Robotic arm2 cleans front and back of vehicle with the help of wipers. Time factor, space factor & water requirements are some challenges faced in this paper.

G. Subramanian, K.Tharani Raja, K.S.Gowtham Babu, T.Devashena in Simulation of Automatic car washing using PLC explains about the use of PLC for implementation of various functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting & arethemtic to control various operations of automatic car washer. It uses various components such as Input relays, Counters, Timers, Output relays, Data storage & PLC programming method. It uses Infrared sensors to sense the cars & send signal to plc which initiate other processes.

Dr. Ilham Muniar Baddo , Dr. Nahed Farhoud , Prof. Dr. Isam Mohammed Abdel-Magid, Dr. Shibli Alshami , Dr. Fleih hassan Ahmad and Eng. Asaad Olab in Study of carwash wastewater treatment by Adsorption explains about car wash waste water treatment by Adsorption. Treatment of wastewater from car wash firms to acceptable level so that in can be reused or recycled in same system is the main motive of the research paper. Allepo clay (Bentonite) is used to remove dissolved solids, surface active substances and also the remnants of oils & grease from water. Another advantage of using Allepo clay is it has good efficiency & is cheap. Bentonite granular are used for adsorption of less than or equal to 0.2mm. It is observed in research that there is no increase in PH value at PH7.
