Heatsinking is critical for power devices in circuits that are intended to maximize their performance. When heat from the power devices cannot be moved away very quickly, the power devices and its operating elements could be damaged. You may calculate how hot your semiconductors could become while operating, using a couple of easy formulas. Using formulas gets rid of guesswork and […]
Temperature Controllers
Programmable Temperature Controller Circuit with Timer
Here I have explained about a circuit configuration which produces adjustable sequential timing outputs for controlling a heater device through a simultaneously sequencing temperature controller circuit which can be also pre-programmed for acquiring the desired temperature levels across the sequencing time slots. The idea was requested by Mr. Carlos Technical Specifications I’m Carlos and I […]
Temperature to Voltage Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple temperature to voltage converter circuit using IC LM317. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this blog. Technical Specifications I have eurotherm TS200A temperature controller.this is thyrister based. This required 0-5V control voltage. I want one temperature control circuit when temperature is 25deg […]
Temperature Triggered DC Fan Speed Controller
This fan speed controller works by sensing the temperature of the engine and is accordingly used for the triggering. As the temperature increases so does the speed of the fan motor and vice versa. Circuit Operation Operation of the proposed temperature controlled fan may be understood as follows: The speed of the DC motor alters […]
Kiln Temperature Controller Circuit
A programmable sequential timer along with a triac dimmer is configured for making this kiln temperature controller circuit, further details are explained in the following article. The idea was requested by Mr. Joe. 220V Kiln Controller with Timer I’m hoping you have some time to have a crack at a design I’m after. I’ve been […]
Temperature Regulator Circuits using IC LM335
There are many cases where it is desirable to actively regulate the operating temperature of an electronic assembly. Sometimes, it is imperative to dissipate the heat generated by the components (this is the case for the majority of microprocessors in our modern PCs). On the contrary, it is necessary to artificially increase the operating temperature […]
