Temperature warning indicator circuit

The circuit is a low temperature regulator, supervisor, warns us about global warming. Temperature control is done by the thermistor TH1, which is a negative factor. The resistance varies between 10KO at 25 ° C and about 1KO at 94 ° C. The trimmer TR1 regulate the exact temperature at which the Q1-2, connected as a Darlington, lead me, making the relay K1 to close and IZ, sound.

The alarm is activated when the temperature is greater than the default. The thermistor should be located away from the rest of the circuit, so as not to risk from the heat. The power circuit is battery 9V, but if it is mounted in a fixed position, then we can supply with a constant voltage power supply. The relay contacts can be connected load which we, as a bulb, another circuit, etc. It can also add an LED, if we are to sign and visual stimulation.

The adjustment is done by immersing the thermistor TH1, in the water which we know the temperature (contacts should be well insulated so we do not have short circuit) and adjusting the trimmer until the circuit is excited. The cable connecting the circuit with the TH1 must be shielded.

Application
This circuit is designed not only setting a detection of high temperatures, but can also be changed to be set on the detection of low temperatures in some areas. It can be used for refrigeration, walk-in refrigerator or freezer and other environments that are sensitive to temperature. Some integrated circuits high-temperature alarm modules will be used in motor vehicles to the profession in which the temperature element senses a temperature very dangerous in the interior of a motor vehicle, and encourages the employment sensor detects the presence or determine the absence of an occupant. In the absence of the inhabitants, the sensor is that after a period during which an audible alarm is activated to provide the attention to the motor vehicle in the presence of an occupant. This type of alarm can be reset with a key.

Take a temperature alarm can be advantages such as protection of valuable equipment by high temperature, low temperature, high humidity or sometimes provided. Other programs of high temperature can be used to protect against loss of or against the air conditioning system for heating off. Instead, the program for low-temperature failure of the heating system be used to prevent frozen pipes. The alarm can also reduce downtime, get a phone call and the notification of a possible power failure or failure before damage occurs in one unit. [Link]
