Automatic Temperature Based Fan Speed Controller Using AT89S52

This project creates an automatic fan speed controller that regulates a fan's speed based on temperature readings. An AT89S52 microcontroller receives analog temperature readings from an LM35 temperature sensor. It displays the sensed temperature and fan speed on an LCD. The microcontroller controls relays through a ULN driver circuit to adjust the fan speed using a high wattage resistor. This controller can be applied to various heating and cooling applications like air conditioners and furnaces to efficiently control temperature.

Automatic Temperature based Fan Speed Controller using

AT89S52 
This project is a standalone automatic fan speed controller that controls the speed of an
electric fan according to our requirement. Use of embedded technology makes this closed
loop feedback control system efficient and reliable. Micro controller (AT89S52) allows
dynamic and faster control. Liquid crystal display (LCD) makes the system user-friendly.
The sensed temperature and fan speed level values are simultaneously displayed on
the LCD panel. It is very compact using few components and 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.
AT89S52 micro controller is the heart of the circuit as it controls all the functions. 
The temperature sensor LM35 senses the temperature and converts it into an electrical
(analog) signal, which is applied to the micro controller through ADC. The analog signal is
converted into digital format by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The sensed and set
values of the temperature are displayed on the 16x2-line LCD. The micro controller drives
control relays by means of ULN driver circuit to control the fan speed with the help of high
wattage tagged wire wound resistor. Single pole dabble throw (SPDT) relays are connected
to the micro controller through a ULN driver circuit. The relays require 12 volts at a current
of around 50 mA, which cannot provide by the micro controller. So the ULN driver circuit
is added. The relays are used to operate the electrical fan or for operating any other
electrical device. Normally the relays remain off. As soon as pin of the micro controller
goes high, the relays operate. This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA & 12V, 500mA power
supply. 7805 and 7812 three terminal voltage regulators are used for voltage regulation.
Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/12V step
down transformer. This project is useful in process industries for maintenance and
controlling of Boilers temperature.
