    INTRODUCTION:

    This project is a standalone automatic fan speed controller that


    controls the speed of an electric fan according to the requirement.
    Use of embedded technology makes this closed loop feedback-
    control system efficient and reliable.
    The microcontroller (MCU) ATMEGA8/168/328 allows dynamic and
    faster control and the LCD makes the system user-friendly. Sensed
    temperature and fan speed levels are simultaneously displayed on
    the LCD panel.
    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
    COMPONENTS USED:
    WORKING OF THE CIRCUIT:
    The circuit is built around Arduino Uno board (Board1), 16×2 LCD (LCD1),
    temperature sensor LM35 (IC1) and a few other components. Arduino is at
    the heart of the circuit as it controls all functions. LM35 is a precision
    integrated circuit whose output voltage is linearly proportional to Celsius
    (Centigrade) temperature. It is rated to operate over a -55°C to 150°C
    temperature range. It has +10.0mV/Celsius linear-scale factor.

    Temperature sensor LM35 senses the temperature and converts it into an


    electrical (analogue) signal, which is applied to the MCU through an
    analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). The analogue signal is converted into
    digital format by the ADC. Sensed values of the temperature and speed of
    the fan are displayed on the LCD. Temperature and monitoring using
    Arduino, the MCU on Arduino drive the motor driver to control fan speed
    FAN SPEED CONTROL TECHNIQUE:
    A low-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal, usually in the
    range of about 30Hz, whose duty cycle is varied to adjust the fan’s speed
    is used. An inexpensive, single, small pass transistor can be used here. It
    is efficient because the pass transistor is used as a switch.

    One disadvantage of this approach, however, is that it can make the fan
    noisy because of the pulsed nature of the signal. The PWM waveform’s
    sharp edges cause the fan’s mechanical structure to move (like a badly-
    designed loudspeaker), which can easily be audible.
    SOFTWARE:
    Software for the automatic temperature controller and monitor circuit
    is written in Arduino programming language.
    Arduino Uno is programmed using Arduino IDE software.ATmega328P
    on Arduino Uno comes with a pre-programmed bootloader that allows
    users to upload a new code to it without using an external hardware
    programmer.
    APPLICATIONS:
    Normally we use the regulator to change the speed of the fan. Here as the
    room temperature changes, the speed varies so that according to the
    temperature the fan rotates.
    The fan designed in this project, has more scope to use in the Middle East
    countries. This product is more suitable for the hot regions.
    CONCLUSION:
    This project can be used in both the home and
    Industry.It can be implemented for several
    applications including air-conditioners, water-
    heaters, snow-melters, ovens, heat-exchangers,
    mixers, furnaces, incubators, thermal baths and
    veterinary operating tables. The project will
    help save energy/electricity.
