DIY Air Purifier with Arduino Setup

The document outlines the construction of a mechanical air purifier and real-time air quality monitor, detailing the setup of the enclosure, filter arrangement, blower placement, and electronics. It includes wiring connections for various sensors and components, as well as programming logic for controlling the system based on air quality readings. The final product is a professional-looking air purifier that operates safely on low-voltage DC, with an estimated cost under ₹20,000.

Stage 1: Mechanical Setup (Filters + Blower

+ Enclosure)
1. Enclosure box
o Use acrylic sheets (laser-cut) or MDF wood (~25 × 25 × 20 cm).
o Make two chambers:
 Intake side → where polluted air enters.
 Clean side → where filtered air + electronics sit.
2. Filter arrangement
o First layer: Activated Carbon sheet (removes odors, VOCs).
o Second layer: HEPA H13 cartridge (removes fine PM2.5 dust).
o Seal edges with foam strips so air doesn’t leak around filters.
3. Blower placement
o Mount the Sunon/Delta blower behind the filters (on the clean side).
o This creates a pull system: air is sucked through filters → blower → out clean.

🔹 Stage 2: Electronics Setup


You’ll mount all electronics on the clean side (safe from dust).

Component Where to place


Arduino UNO On acrylic base plate inside box
PMS5003 sensor On clean side, after filters, to measure filtered air quality
SGP30 gas sensor Near PMS5003, avoid direct airflow blast
BME280 sensor Same zone, measures T/Humidity
Display (OLED/TFT) Front panel cut-out for visibility
Motor driver (IRF520 MOSFET) Inside box, wired to blower
Power supply (Mean Well 12 V) Fixed at side/bottom of enclosure, away from filters
Regulator (5 V buck/AMS1117) Feeds Arduino + sensors

🔹 Stage 3: Wiring Connections


Here’s a simplified connection table:

Component Connection
PMS5003 (PM2.5 sensor) TX → Arduino RX (D2), 5V, GND
SGP30 (VOC sensor) SDA → A4, SCL → A5, 3.3V, GND
BME280 (Temp/Hum/Pressure) SDA → A4, SCL → A5 (I²C shared), 3.3V, GND
Component Connection
OLED/TFT Display SDA/SCL → A4/A5 (I²C) or SPI pins if TFT
Blower fan +12 V → blower → MOSFET → GND
MOSFET Gate Arduino PWM pin (D9)
Power supply 12 V → blower & 5V regulator → Arduino
Optional SD module CS/D11/D12/D13 + 5V/GND

🔹 Stage 4: Programming & Control Logic


Basic Arduino flow (pseudo-code):

1. Initialize sensors (PMS5003, SGP30, BME280).


2. Read sensor data every 2–5 seconds.
o PM2.5 concentration
o VOC index (from SGP30)
o Temperature & Humidity
3. Display values on OLED/TFT.
o Example:
o PM2.5: 18 µg/m³
o VOC: 120 ppb
o Temp: 27 °C Hum: 55%
4. Control blower speed with PWM via MOSFET:
o If PM2.5 < 20 µg/m³ → Low speed (50%)
o If PM2.5 20–50 µg/m³ → Medium speed (75%)
o If PM2.5 > 50 µg/m³ → Full speed (100%)
5. Optional logging → save data to SD card with timestamp.

🔹 How it will look when finished


 Front panel → OLED/TFT display + power button.
 Side/back → air inlet slots (with filters behind) and air outlet vent (blower).
 Inside → Arduino, sensors, power supply, wiring neatly mounted.

⚠️Important Safety Note:


All parts run on low-voltage DC (5V, 12V) → safe for school projects. The only caution is the
Mean Well SMPS (runs on 220V AC) — ask an adult to connect mains safely. After that,
everything else is student-friendly.
✨ End result: You’ll have a professional-looking air purifier + real-time AQ monitor, fully
working, high-quality, and under ₹20,000.
