comprobada automáticamente regularmente. Los valores son almacenados con hora y fecha en la memoria interna y son enviados inalámbricamente para que diferentes aplicaciones informáticas o dispositivos puedan conectarse y mostrar los resultados, con posibilidad de lanzar alertas. automatically checked regularly. The values are stored with time and date in the internal memory and are sent wirelessly so that different computer applications or devices can connect and display the results, with the possibility of launching alerts.

Si el módulo procesador detecta que los valores no se encuentran dentro de los necesarios para la fotosíntesis, como por ejemplo por no haber iluminación, el sistema dispara el relé que desactiva la conexión eléctrica general del tipo borna de funcionamiento del fotobiorreactor, bomba de recirculación, iluminación, concentrador y bomba esclavo extractora de exceso de medio líquido, para su revisión por parte del usuario. If the processor module detects that the values are not within those necessary for photosynthesis, such as for example, for lack of lighting, the system trips the relay that deactivates the general electrical connection of the operating terminal type of the photobioreactor, recirculation pump, lighting, concentrator and slave pump extractor of excess liquid medium, for review by the user.

Si el módulo procesador detecta que los valores son los adecuados para la fotosíntesis, entonces activa el relé que habilita la conexión eléctrica general del tipo borna de funcionamiento del fotobiorreactor (bomba de recirculación, iluminación, concentrador y bomba esclavo extractora de exceso de medio líquido), que se pone o sigue en funcionamiento, y se controlan y gestionan nuevamente todos los datos recibidos por los sensores y el resto de componentes del sistema. If the processor module detects that the values are suitable for photosynthesis, then it activates the relay that enables the general electrical connection of the operating terminal type of the photobioreactor (recirculation pump, lighting, concentrator and slave pump extracting excess liquid medium) , which is put into operation or still in operation, and all the data received by the sensors and the rest of the system components are controlled and managed again.

El sistema permite apilar otros dispositivos idénticos por las llaves de entrada/salida mediante el sistema de la bomba manual de llenado/vaciado, o en sistemas no similares, como para por ejemplo tratar medio líquido de aguas residuales. The system allows other identical devices to be stacked by the input / output keys by means of the manual filling / emptying pump system, or in non-similar systems, such as for example treating liquid wastewater media.

Por otro lado, un usuario puede conectarse vía inalámbrica y observar y gestionar los resultados. Esto es posible porque la información sensorizada es recibida constantemente y se presenta de tal forma que puede mostrar alarmas cuando los valores que se den no sean compatibles con la fotosíntesis, para avisar de la necesidad de revisión del sistema. Además, se puede calcular y mostrar la eficiencia de procesamiento porcentual, que es la división entre medio saliente y el entrante, todo multiplicado por 100. La conexión requiere preferentemente de una contraseña. El sistema permite que dichos datos sean gestionados a distancia por diversos dispositivos electrónicos al mismo tiempo, las aplicaciones informáticas permiten mostrar la información y lanzar alertas, y permite en sí la gestión integral a distancia del dispositivo. On the other hand, a user can connect via wireless and observe and manage the results. This is possible because the sensed information is constantly received and presented in such a way that it can show alarms when the values given are not compatible with photosynthesis, to warn of the need for system review. In addition, the percentage processing efficiency can be calculated and displayed, which is the division between outgoing and incoming media, all multiplied by 100. The connection preferably requires a password. The system allows such data to be managed remotely by several electronic devices at the same time, computer applications allow information to be displayed and alerts to be sent, and allows the integral remote management of the device.

Para acabar, el dispositivo puede funcionar en un vehículo, dentro de la carcasa o cofre con iluminación artificial, para ir absorbiendo emisiones de manera eficiente. A más vehículos To finish, the device can work in a vehicle, inside the carcass or hood with artificial lighting, to be absorbing emissions efficiently. To more vehicles
