Abstract: Due to continuous increase in emission of Greenhouse gases and the rapidly increasing fuel price, many countries in theis concerned with reduction of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) usage in teashops, which contains a mixture of Propane and Butane – both derived from distillation of crude oil. In terms of the by-products of their combustion, the gas released is CO2, which is considered as a greenhouse gas. This project mainly focus on reducing the utilization of LPG’s as much as possible by using solar energy to preheat the water before entering the boiler at Tea shops and in addition auto- ignition setup has been added. Based on the temperature of the water inside the boiler, which is monitored continuously and fed to the microcontroller, the auto- ignition is turned on and gets off. Thus reducing LPG utilization in Tea shops. Added to that, in consideration with safety MQ6 for gas leakage detection, BMP180 for monitoring pressure and boiler water level detection are monitored and maintained. With all these it is able to minimize LPG utilization by 40% – 50% during hot summer.
