    The circuit uses an LM335 temperature sensor and 741 op amp to sense ambient air temperature and control the speed of a fan motor. The LM335 output varies with temperature and is calibrated to output 2.93V at 20°C. The op amp compares this to a 5.1V reference from a Zener diode adjusted by a trim pot. The op amp output drives a transistor that controls the fan motor speed, providing full speed at 40°C. Initial setup adjusts the trim pot so the fan stops at 20°C ambient temperature.

    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF A FAN SPEED MOTOR CONTROLLER

    EXPLANATION/OPRERATION OF THE CIRCUIT


    Air temperature in the circuit is sensed via an LM335 (TS1).The LM335s output rises 10mV per degree Centigrade. It is calibrated to zero output at -273C, so at 20C, the output will be 2.93V. This is applied to the non-inverting input of a 741 op amp (IC1).

    A 1N4733 5.1V Zener diode provides a voltage reference for the inverting input via trim pot VR1. The output of the op amp drives a TIP122 Darlington transistor (Q1), which in turn drives the fan motor. The op amp gain was calculated to give about 12V to the fan at 40C. Initial setup should be performed with everything turned off and the ambient temperature at about 20C. Adjust the trim-pot until the fan just stops running. The temperature now remains at about 32C, the fan runs very quietly and continues to run down for about 30 minutes after the receiver is switched off.
