TEMPERATURE ADJUSTABLE HEATING SYSTEM USING

POWER ELECTRONIC DEVICES

This project is a standalone temperature adjustable heating system that

controls the temperature of the heating element of a device according to its
requirement. Use of embedded technology makes this closed loop feedback control
system efficient and reliable. Microcontroller (AT89S52) allows dynamic and faster
control. Push button switches and liquid crystal display (LCD) make the system user-
friendly.

The thermistor senses the temperature and converts it into an electrical signal,
which is applied to the microcontroller through ADC. The analog signal is converted
into digital format by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The sensed and set
values of the temperature are displayed on the LCD.

Since the microcontroller cannot drive the heating elements or any devices
which requires 230v AC supply, current driver circuit is used to drive these elements.
Whenever the temperature exceeds the set point, the heating element is switched off.
This set point can be changed at any time using the switches provided.
