INTRODUCTION 
CHAPTER ONE 
The idea behind this project is to control the speed of fan 
using microcontroller based on variation in temperature. 
temperature controlled fan is an 
alternative way to deal with the 
speed of the motor. 
Temperature control is a process in 
which the temperature of an object is 
measured and the passage of heat 
energy into or out of the object is 
adjusted to achieve a desired 
temperature.

INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE 
Objectives 
Measure the room temperature 
Display the current temperature in the LCD 
Vary the speed of fan accordingly 
Reducing the power consumption
Literature Review 
According to Tito Smailagich, given the high 
cost of electrical power, replacing a 
conventional on/off temperature control with a 
proportional controller can often save energy 
and money. 
Lawrence Berkeley National 
Laboratory in their articles mentioned 
that in the manufacturing sector, fans 
use about 78.7 billion kilowatt-hours 
of energy each year. This 
consumption represents 15 percent of 
the electricity used by motors.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF TEMPERATURE BASED FAN SPEED CONTROLLER 
In this project we are using LM35 series analog 
temperature sensor. This is a precision integrated 
circuit, whose output voltage is linearly 
proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) 
temperature. 
It is rated to operate over a -55 degree to + 
150 degree Celsius temperature range. It has 
+10.0mV/Celsius linear scale factor. The 
output of this sensor will be connected to 
ATMEGA-32 Micro-controller ‘s PORT-A.

Results 
 After designing, simulating, assembling, soldering 
and testing the circuit, we came to the conclusion 
that our circuit of the temperature based fan speed 
controller is working satisfactorily. 
 The construction hardware perfect. 
 The total project work perfectly and has negligible 
amount of unexpected functioning.

APPLICATION 
 Personal computers 
 Exhaust fans in large hotels 
 Washing machines 
 CD and DVD players
Result and discussion CHAPTER FOUR 
Advantages and disadvantages 
Advantages- 
(1) Since it is an automated system ,it is programmed effectively so 
that no interruptions would stop its functionality. 
(2)To monitor the environment, that is not comfortable or possible 
to monitor for humans(especially for extended periods of time) 
(3) Prevents waste of energy. 
Disadvantages- 
(1) It can only be maintained by technical person . 
(2) Due to temperature variation, after sometimes it’s efficiency 
may be decreased .
Conclusion and Recommendation CHAPTER FIVE 
Conclusion 
 The problem statement is implemented. 
 Hardware part is halfway implemented. 
 Through simulations and after running the code in IDE abstract is 
verified 
 As the technology is going on developing day by day, we prefer 
things to be done automatically and in the same way our projects 
reduces the work to mankind.
Conclusion and Recommendation CHAPTER FIVE 
Recommendation 
• We can monitor more parameters like humidity, light and at the same 
time control them. 
•We can send this data to a remote location using mobile or internet. 
We can draw graphs of variations in these parameters using computer. 
•When temperature exceeds the limit, a call will be dialed to the 
respective given number by an automatic Dialer system.
