ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We express our sincere thanks and deep sense of gratitude towards Mr. A.K. Kori, under whose able guidance we were able to implement this thought of ours into a reality.
His timely and incisive review, comments and suggestions throughout the project enabled us to modify the project before things went out of our hand.

We are also grateful to Dr. A.K. Sharma, Head of Deptt., Electrical engineering. He helped us immensely by providing us with all the equipment important for our project.
INTRODUCTION
An automatic temperature controlled fan system is designed to detect the unwanted presence of tempetature by monitoring environmental changes associated with power electronic equipment working at higher current ratings and for long time. In general, a
temperature controlled fan speed system is either classified as automatic, manually activated, or both.
Automatic temperature controlled variable speed of fan systems have become increasingly sophisticated and functionally more capable and reliable in recent years. They are designed to fulfil two general requirements: protection of electronic equipment and assets and protection of life. As a result of institutes and industries, the equipment safety aspect of automatic cooling has become a major factor in the last two decades. These systems may have applications in many systems where power electronic equipment produces heat and regular cooling is required for proper and efficient working of equipments such as computers, laptops, VCRs, DVD players, projectors, etc.
This circuit adopt a rather old design technique as its purpose is to vary the speed of a fan related to temperature with a minimum parts counting and avoiding the use of special-purpose ICs, often difficult to obtain. Regardless of type, application, complexity, or technology level, TCF system is comprised of four basic elements:
- Initiating devices
- Control panel
- Signalling devices
- Power supply

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
IC 555
The 8-pin 555 timer must be one of the most useful ICs ever made and it is used in many projects. With just a few external components it can be used to build many circuits, not all of them involve timing!
A popular version is the NE555 and this is suitable in most cases where a '555 timer' is specified. The 556 is a dual version of the 555 housed in a 14-pin package, the two timers (A and B) share the same power supply pins. The circuit diagrams on this page show a 555, but they could all be adapted to use one half of a 556.
Fig. Actual pin arrangements
Low power versions of the 555 are made, such as the ICM7555, but these should only be used when specified (to increase battery life) because their maximum output current of about 20mA (with a 9V supply) is too low for many standard 555 circuits. The ICM7555 has the same pin arrangement as a standard 555.
The circuit symbol for a 555 is a box with the pins arranged to suit the circuit diagram: for example 555 pin 8 at the top for the +Vs supply, 555 pin 3 output on the right. Usually just the pin numbers are used and they are not labelled with their function. The 555 can be used with a supply voltage (Vs) in the range 4.5 to 15V (18V absolute maximum). Standard 555 ICs create a significant 'glitch' on the supply when their output changes state. This is rarely a problem in simple circuits with no other ICs, but in more complex circuits a smoothing capacitor (eg 100μF) should be connected across the +Vs and 0V supply near the 555 or 556. The input and output pin functions are described briefly below and there are fuller explanations covering the various circuits:
- Astable - producing a square wave
- Monostable - producing a single pulse when triggered
- Bistable - a simple memory which can be set and reset
- Buffer - an inverting buffer (Schmitt trigger)
Reset input: when less than about 0.7V ('active low') this makes the output low (0V), overriding other inputs. When not required it should be connected to +Vs. It has an input impedance of about 10k Ω.
Control input: this can be used to adjust the threshold voltage which is set internally to be 2/3 Vs. Usually this function is not required and the control input is connected to 0V with a 0.01μF capacitor to eliminate electrical noise. It can be left unconnected if noise is not a problem. The discharge pin is not an input, but it is listed here for convenience. It is connected to 0V when the timer output is low and is used to discharge the timing capacitor in astable and monostable circuits.
Output of 555
The output of a standard 555 can sink and source up to 200mA. This is more than most ICs and it is sufficient to supply many output transducers directly, including LEDs (with a resistor in series), low current lamps, piezo transducers, loudspeakers (with a capacitor in series), relay coils (with diode protection) and some motors (with diode protection). The output voltage does not quite reach 0V and +Vs, especially if a large current is flowing. To switch larger currents you can connect a transistor.
The ability to both sink and source current means that two devices can be connected to the output so that one is on when the output is low and the other is on when the output is high. The top diagram shows two LEDs connected in this way. This arrangement is used in the Level Crossing project to make the red L EDs flash alternately.
The time period (T) of the square wave is the time for one complete cycle, but it is usually better to consider frequency (f) which is the number of cycles per second.
T = time period in seconds (s)
f = frequency in hertz (Hz)
R1 = resistance in ohms ( )
R2 = resistance in ohms ( )
C1 = capacitance in farads (F)
The time period can be split into two parts: T = Tm + Ts
Mark time (output high): Tm = 0.7 × (R1 + R2) × C
Space time (output low): Ts = 0.7 × R2 × C
Many circuits require Tm and Ts to be almost equal; this is achieved if R2 is much larger than R1. For a standard astable circuit Tm cannot be less than Ts, but this is not too restricting because the output can both sink and source current. For example an LED can be made to flash briefly with long gaps by connecting it (with its resistor) between +Vs and the output. This way the LED is on during Ts, so brief flashes are achieved with R1 larger than R2, making Ts short and Tm long. If Tm must be less than Ts a diode can be added to the circuit as explained under duty cycle below.
Choosing R1, R2 and C
R1 and R2 should be in the range 1k to 1M. It is best to choose C1 first because capacitors are available in just a few values.
- Choose C1 to suit the frequency range you require (use the table as a guide).
- Choose R2 to give the frequency (f) you require. Assume that R1 is much smaller than R2 (so that Tm and Ts are almost equal), then you can use: R2 = 0.7 /(f × C1) - Choose R1 to be about a tenth of R2 (1k min.) unless you want the mark time Tm to be significantly longer than the space time Ts. - If you wish to use a variable resistor it is best to make it R2. - If R1 is variable it must have a fixed resistor of at least 1k in series (this is not required for R2 if it is variable).
transducer with a low frequency of less than 20Hz will produce a series of 'clicks' (one for each low/high transition) and this can be used to make a simple metronome.
Duty cycle
The duty cycle of an astable circuit is the proportion of the complete cycle for which the output is high (the mark time). It is usually given as a percentage. For a standard 555 astable circuit the mark time (Tm) must be greater than the s pace time (Ts), so the duty cycle must be at least 50%:
To achieve a duty cycle of less than 50% a diode can be added in parallel with R2 as shown in the diagram. This bypasses R2 during the charging (mark) part of the cycle so that Tm depends only on R1 and C1:
Tm = 0.7 × R1 × C1 (ignoring 0.7V across diode)
Ts = 0.7 × R2 × C1 (unchanged)
Use a signal diode such as 1N4148.
