Sensor

NAME: Malik Muhammad Farhan


CLASS: ME-13-A
CMS ID: 389829
SUBMITTED TO: LE Usman Ali

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING


Objectives:
• Familiarizing ourselves with the working of temperature sensor
• Finding or drawing characteristic curve between voltage and temperature

Apparatus:
The apparatus used in this experiment is as follows:
• Temperature control training system
• DMM
• Wires

Circuit Diagram:

Figure 1 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Figure 2 CONNECTIONS
Procedure:
The procedure for this experiment is as follows:
• Make the connection according to the circuit diagram.
• Turn ON the main switch.
• Increase the SETPOINT-2 to a specified level so that the water starts to get heated.
• See if the voltage is increasing, if it is increasing then it shows that the heater is
working.
• Take voltage readings at temperature from 26-35oC for every 1oC rise. Also take the
readings when the temperature gets stable.
• When the temperature rises to 35oC, break off the heater driver connection.

Discussion:
The temperature sensor gives us temperature readings of the water when it is heated as the
voltage is increased and vice versa and is cooled by fan cooled condenser. The graphs are
quite similar because there is very little hysteresis, but some errors exist due to human errors
like reaction time.

Conclusion:
To conclude, we see that the value of voltage varies with the temperature.

Safety procedures:
• Follow electrical safety guidelines and avoid working with live circuits.
• Adhere to all lab rules, guidelines, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
provided by the lab supervisor or instructor.
• Do not make loose connections.
• Ensure proper connections of the set points.
• Always ensure that you turn off the equipment, before removing or adding any
connections.
• Keep water and liquids away from electrical equipment to prevent water hazard.
Adhere to electrical safety guidelines to minimize the risk of electrical shocks or
other electrical hazards.
• Inspect equipment before use, and promptly report any faults or issues.
• Handle all lab tools and equipment with care to avoid accidents and maintain a safe
environment.
