Temperature Detector For Fan Controller

The fan controller circuit for the Titan 2000 and other AF heavy-duty power amplifiers, has an output that sets a voltage if the fan controller reaches the end of its range. Since the controller responds to temperature, this signal is seen by the amplifier protection circuitry as an over temperature indication. The disadvantage of this output is that the maximum voltage for the fans is not constant, but depends on the load (number of fans, defective fans) and the mains voltage. This variation is caused by the fact that the supply voltage for the output stage is taken directly from the filtered transformer voltage.

Maximum Temprature Detector For Fan ControllerIf the fans should fail, for example, the maximum temperature limit would lie at a considerably higher level than the desired value. The accompanying circuit, which compares the magnitude of the fan voltage to a fixed reference value, has been developed to allow the maximum temperature to be reliably detected. This circuit is tailored for 12-V fans. The reference voltage is generated by the ‘micro power voltage reference’ D1 and the FET T1, which is wired as a current source. These components are powered directly from the applied fan voltage. The current source is set up to deliver approximately 50µA.

D1 can work with as little as 10µA. The supply voltage for the IC is decoupled by R10, C3 and C4, with D4 providing over voltage protection. A maximum supply voltage of 16 V is specified for the TLC271. This opamp works with a supply voltage as low as 3 V and can handle a common-mode voltage up to approximately 1.5 V less than the positive supply voltage. Accordingly, 1.2 V has been chosen for the reference voltage. The fan voltage is reduced to the level of the reference voltage by the voltage divider R2–R3–P1. The limits now lie at 11.2 V and 16.7V.

If you find these values too high, you can reduce R2 to 100 kΩ, which will shift the limits to 9.5 V and 14.2 V. The output of the voltage divider is well decoupled by C2. A relatively large time constant was selected here to prevent the circuit from reacting too quickly, and to hold the output active for a bit longer after the comparator switches states. A small amount of hysteresis (around 1 mV) is added by R4 and R5, to prevent instability when the comparator switches. D2 ensures that the magnitude of the hysteresis is independent of the supply voltage. Two outputs have been provided to make the circuit more versatile.

Output ‘R’ is intended to directly drive the LED of an optocoupler. In addition, transistor T2 is switched on by the output of the opamp via R7 and R8, so that a relay can be actuated or a protection circuit triggered using the ‘T’ output. The high-efficiency LED D3 indicates that IC1 has switched. It can be used as a new ‘maximum’ temperature’ indicator when this circuit is added to the fan controller. The circuit draws only 0.25 mA when the LED is out, and the measured no-load current consumption (with a 12.5V supply voltage) is 2.7 mA when the LED is on.

Digital Fan Regulator

The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of  fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps.  The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage. 

Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing resistor R2.  The pedestal voltage is derived from the non-filtered DC through optocoupler 4N33. The conductivity of the Darlington pair transistors inside this optocoupler is varied for getting the pedestal voltage. For this, the positive sup-ply to the LED inside the optocoupler is connected via different values of resistors using a multiplexer (CD4051).

The value of resistance selected by the multiplexer depends upon the control in-put from BCD up-/down-counter CD4510 (IC5), which, in turn, controls forward bi-asing of the transistor inside optocoupler 4N33. The same BCD outputs from IC5 are also connected to the BCD-to-7-seg-ment decoder to display the step number on a 7-segment display.  NAND gates N3 and N4 are config-ured as an astable multivibrator to produce rectangular clock pulses for IC5, while NAND gates N1 and N2 generate the active-low count enable (CE) input using either of push-to-on switches S1 or S2 for count up or count down operation, respectively, of the BCD counter. 

Optocoupler 4N33 electrically isolates the high-voltage section and the digital section and thus prevents the user from shock hazard when using switches S1 and S2. BCD-to-7-segment decoder CD4543 is used for driving both common-cathode and common-anode 7-segment displays. If phase input pin 6 is ‘high’ the decoder works as a common-anode decoder, and if phase input pin 6 is ‘low’ it acts as a common-cathode decoder.  Optocoupler 4N33 may still conduct slightly even when the display is zero, i.e. pin 13 (X0, at ground level) is switched  output pin 3. To avoid this problem, adjust preset VR1 as required using a plastic-handled screwdriver to get no output at zero reading in the display.
