COMPONENTS AND FUCTIONS OF WATER HEATER SYSTEM:
PIC 18F45K22: PIC 18F45K22 has 40 pins. It has voltages operating range between 1.8v
to 5.5v. It has low power consumption. It CPU Speed is 16 MIPS. It has 1536bytes RAM.
It is best for such projects.
Keypad: In this project I you 3×4 keypad to enter the reference voltage.
16×2 LCD: LCD is used to show alpha numeric characters. In this project LCD we use is
16×2 which means we can display 16 characters in two lines. LCD is used to show the
reference temperature and actual temperature.
Relays 5v: Relay is an electromagnetic device used to switch on and off devices which
used high voltages. In our project relay is used to switch on and off the heater and the
cooler.
BC108: TheBC108 is low power Silicon NPN bipolar junction transistors found very
common in electronics In our project it is used to switch the relays on and off.
LM35: LM35 is precision integrated-circuit temperature devices with an output voltage
linearly-proportional to the Centigrade temperature. It is small in size and very cheap as
compare to other temperature sensors. Its range of measuring lies between -55 to 150
degree centigrade.
Bulb as heater: It is used to produce heat as a result it rises the temperature to our desire
temperature.
Motor as Cooler: It is used to reduce temperature to our desire temperature.
Crystal: It is used as oscillator. In the project I use 8 MHz crystal.
Resistors: It is used as pull down resistors with keypad and as a base resister with
transistors. The resistors used in this project are mostly of 10KΩ. Potentiometer of 10KΩ
is used to set contrast of the LCD.
Connection: PORT A is used as analog input. So LM35 is connected on PORT A. PORT
C is used as digital PORT and 16×2 LCD is connected on PORT C. PORT D is
connected with heater and cooler as it is used as digital output. 3×4 keypad is connected
on PORT B as it is used as digital port. Base of the both transistor is connected with
PORT D, emitter are grounded, collectors are connected with the one terminal of relays
coil. Heater and the Cooler is connected on normally open terminal of relays.
