INTRODUCTION

1. In today’s world of machinery and technology, controlling the heat of a

device has become an important task.

2. If any of the device in a perticular room gets overheated, may cause a

huge damage to lives of several people.

3. So, in order to detect the temprature of a device many sensors are being
Invented , one of which is

OVERHEAT DETECTOR
 INTRODUCTION
4. It is an Arduion based sensor that can detect the temprature of a device
And give alert if the device crosses the limit of temprature

5. These days Arduino based projects have become so important as thay act as a
benchmark for detecting and controlling the temprature.

6.It is responsible for maintaining the temprature of a device at a specified

value, And also assuring it’s safety and long life.
 LITERATURE REVIEW
 Prof. Mukesh Tiwari, Mr. Manish Shrivastava (2013) [1]was published to develop
this project is from an machine overheat detection with alert blog known as “heat
detector”. The article talks about the need of such a project to be and how it would
ease the existing industries area that is in place today.
 Prof.P. V. Gawande. (2013) [2] explained the reliability data of fire detection and
alarm systems was made resulting to rough estimates of some failure frequencies.
No theoretical or technical articles on the structure of reliability models of these
installations were found.
 Kushagra Kumar Choubey, Mousam Sharma (2015) [3] was published that
described a design of temperature controller that drives the relays for switching
the system ON/OFF for controlling the temperature.
 E.Sumalatha, G.Harshita, K.Revathi ETAL(2022) [4] explained the prevention of
overheating of electronic devices using IOT based temprature controlled fan.
 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

• As in the recent times, with the growing industry the risk

also developes.
• One of the risk is to work with the device that if gets
overheated can cause danger to once lives.
• Therefore we need a device that can control this type of
damage, there we can use the overheat detector, that
reduces can human effort, if any type of disturbances come
in the machinery.
 COMPONENTS USED

I. ARDUINO UNO BOARD

• It is a micro-controller based, open source hardware used to design and
modify various kinds of circuits.

• It can work with sensors and actuators.

• It gets power by connecting it’s USB port to the computer or any

other power source.
II. BREADBOARD
• A Breadboard is simply a board for prototyping or building circuits on.

• It allows you to place components and connections on the board to

make circuits without soldering.

• The holes in the breadboard take care of your connections by

physically holding onto parts or wires where you put them and
electrically connecting them inside the board.
 III. POTENTIOMETER

• It provides a variable amount of resistance that changes as you manipulate

it.

• Potentiometer usually has 3 pins.

GND pin: needs to connected to GROUND.

VCC pin: need to be connected to VCC(5v or 3.3v).

Output pin: outputs the voltage to Arduino input pin

 IV. JUMPER WIRES

These are used for making connections between items on

breadboard and Arduino’s header pins

V. BUZZER
• Arduino buzzer comprises an outer case with two pins to
attach it to power and ground. Inside is a piezo element,
there is a ceramic disc covered with a metal (usually
bronze) vibration disc.
• Once the current is supplied, the ceramic disk is made to
contract or expand. This then makes the surrounding disk to
vibrate. That’s the output and creates the sound you hear.
 VI. TEMPRATURE SENSOR [LM 35]
• The LM35 is a low-voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensor
manufactured by Texas Instruments.
• It is a chip that provides a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the
temperature in °C and is, therefore, very easy to use with an Arduino.
• The LM35 temperature sensor is precise, never wears out, works under
many environmental conditions, and requires no external components
VII. LCD Display (16x2)

• The LCD display visually conveys the information to the user. In LCD 16×2,
the term LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display that uses a plane panel display
technology.

• It is an electronic device that is used to display data and the message. As the
name suggests, it includes 16 Columns & 2 Rows so it can display 32 characters
(16×2=32) in total & every character will be made with 5×8 (40) Pixel Dots.
METHODOLOGY

>OBJECTIVES
• The main objective of this project is to protect people from any kind of
damage due to overheating conditions at a particular place.
• To display the temperature on the LCD display
• To alert people by the buzzer if the temperature exceeds the threshold
value.
• To display the real-time temperature readings.
• To make the platform flexible and expandable to develop the overheat
detector.
• To allow centralized monitoring and control temperature levels in
different areas.
 METHODOLOGY

>Advantages
• This project can be integrated into smart homes or industrial automation
system, allowing to monitor and control the temperature

• This project can increase the life efficiency of the appliances to which it is
attached.

• This project is Modestly priced.

• By using this project at homes or in business people can perform their tasks
peacefuly, if any situation arrises they would get the alert at first and can
protect themselves from any kind of damage.

• This project if used can save assets of people from damage.

 METHODOLOGY

>Disadvantages
• It can give false alarm due to rapid temperature
fluctuation
• It may possible that it would not detect the temperature
in larger ares.
• This project require periodic maintainance,so the
maintainance cost for this project increases.
• Dust or moisture can impact the performance.

 FUTURE SCOPE
• In future this project can be updated by accessing things from
smart phones and can also be controlled by the remote.
• We can develop energy-efficient overheat detectors that consume
less power and incorporate power-saving features.
• We can make overheat detectors compatible with building
management systems (BMS) to enhance wide-safety and control.
• We can implement self-testing and self-diagnostics features to
regularly assess the functionality of the detector.
 CONCLUSION

• We have achieved a Microcontroller based Overheat

detector using temperature sensor and buzzer.
• This Overheat detector can be used in industries,
companies, hospitals and homes to monitor high
temperature conditions.
• The whole project is done in low cost, so this Overheat
detector comes with a low cost and easy setup which saves
lives of people in extreme heat conditions or fire hazards
by alerting them with the buzzer.
