Hypermist System On Marine Vessel

PIC microcontroller, Fire detection system, MCUAbstract
Fire onboard vessels is a very dangerous incident that can possibly cost human lives and property damage. Currently, there are numerous firefighting systems installed onboard vessels. Each of the common firefighting systems is connected to either smoke or flame detector in which the system can accurately detect fire and reduce fire exponentially .The aim of this paper is to create a system that increases the system accuracy and consistency in detecting the fire onboard ship with the application of the microcontrollers unit (MCU) based system. These designs were simulated using the Proteus software and then later implemented and tested in the hardware models. The program was then compiled in PIC C Compilers, and were programmed into the microcontroller using a programmer for PIC 16-bit microcontrollers. This paper will offer the improvement on the current fire detection system using both smoke and flame detector to detect fire onboard ship. The model functioned suitably by using simulator software.
