Problem Statement:

Dedicated control over room temperature is not only a key issue in providing
work conditions that ensure employee satisfaction and hence increased work out-
put; it is now a health and safety issue. The design considered the flexibility of
using a arduino along with other peripheral devices such as Dht11 temperature
sensor, LED display unit to form all-encompassing single system.

Introduction:
Temperature: This is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or an environ-
ment.

Control System: A control system is a device or set of devices that manage,

command, direct or regulate the behaviour of other devices or systems.

Thus we can literally say that a Temperature Control System is a device or

set of devices that manage, command, direct or regulate the behaviour of other
devices or systems in order to influence the degree of hotness or coldness of
a body or an environment. A Temperature Control System is a more like a
programmable thermostat that can keep the environment (home or office) at a
desired temperature regardless of fluctuating exterior weather conditions.

List of Hardware Components:

Bread board

Working Principal:
To enable us successfully understand how a Temperature Control System Works,
let’s go back to the roots by taking a look at the first ever and the certified “most
efficient” Temperature Control System that was ever made – The Human Body
Temperature Control System. The body regulates its temperature continuously.
It may increase or decrease its temperature when it finds that it is too cold or
too hot. In this case, temperature is being regulated by a control system, and
the control is called homeostasis. Somewhere in the brain, perhaps the Hy-
pothalamus, the optimum temperature of the body (set point) is stored (about
37C). That information is continuously available to some structure, we call the
comparator. The comparator sends signals to:

1
1. Heat gain mechanisms in the pre-optic area or anterior hypothalamus leading
to:

Shivering
increased thyroid hormone output
increased activity in the sympathetic nervous system
piloerection
cutaneous vasoconstriction

2. Heat loss mechanisms in the posterior hypothalamus leading to:

decreased thyroid hormone output

sweating
cutaneous vasodilation

The output of these mechanisms will end as either a net increase or a net
decrease in body temperature. The body temperature is sensed by thermal re-
ceptors (thermo-receptors) in the brain and peripherally in the body, and the
value is sent to the comparator where it is compared with the set point. If
the value is less than the set point, then signals go mainly to the heat gain
mechanisms; if it is greater than the set point, then they go mainly to the heat
loss mechanisms. In this way, body temperature is constantly sensed and main-
tained constant (i.e., homeostasis).

Arduino Code:
include ¡SimpleDHT.h¿
define fan 9
// for DHT11,
// VCC: 5V or 3V
// GND: GND
// DATA: 2
int pinDHT11 = 2;
SimpleDHT11 dht11;

void setup()
Serial.begin(115200);

void loop()
// start working...
Serial.println(”=================================”);
Serial.println(”Sample DHT11...”);

2
// read without samples.
byte temperature = 0;
byte humidity = 0;
if (dht11.read(pinDHT11, temperature, humidity, NULL))
Serial.print(”Read DHT11 failed.”);
return;

Serial.print(”Sample OK: ”);

Serial.print((int)temperature); Serial.print(” *C, ”);
Serial.print((int)humidity); Serial.println(”

if(temperature ¿ 35)

analogWrite(fan,255);

if(temperature ¡ 30)

analogWrite(fan,125);

// DHT11 sampling rate is 1HZ.

delay(1000);

Implementation:

Conclusion:
With the help of this project the room fan will automatically adjust its speed
by temperature sensing. If the temperature of the room gets high then the
speed of the fan will automatically increase, and when the temperature is low
then the speed of the fan will automatically decrease. It is very simple and
easy technique for controlling of fan speed.it can be used anywhere in the world
irrespective of the temperature conditions around the world.
