Limit Temperature Buzzer

The circuit is a small temperature regulator that warns for an increase in temperature. The control of temperature comes from the thermistor TH1, which has a negative temperature coefficient. Its resistance varies from approximately 10K ohms at 25°C to roughly 1K ohm at 94°C. The trimmer TR1 regulates the precise temperature at which the transistors Q1 and Q2, connected in a Darlington configuration, conduct, causing the relay K1 to close and the buzzer BZ to sound. The alarm is activated when the temperature exceeds a predetermined level. The thermistor should be placed away from the rest of the circuit to avoid interference from the circuit's heat. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery, but it can also be supplied by a constant power supply if installed in a fixed location. Any load, such as a lamp or another circuit, can be connected to the relay contacts. An LED can also be added for an optical indication of activation. Temperature regulation is achieved by immersing the thermistor TH1 in water of a known temperature and adjusting the trimmer until the circuit activates. The cable connecting the circuit to the TH1 should be properly insulated to prevent short-circuiting.

The circuit functions as a temperature monitoring and alert system. The thermistor TH1 serves as the primary temperature sensing element. Its resistance decreases with increasing temperature, allowing the circuit to detect temperature changes effectively. The trimmer TR1 allows for fine-tuning of the threshold temperature at which the alarm will trigger.

Transistors Q1 and Q2 are configured in a Darlington pair to amplify the current from the thermistor, which ensures that even small changes in resistance due to temperature variations can drive the relay K1 effectively. When the temperature surpasses the set threshold, the Darlington pair turns on, energizing the relay, which can control various loads based on the application needs.

The relay K1 can switch higher power devices, making this circuit versatile for different applications such as controlling fans, heaters, or other temperature-sensitive equipment. The addition of a buzzer BZ provides an audible alert, while an optional LED can give a visual indication of the circuit's status.

Capacitor C1 stabilizes the power supply to the circuit, smoothing out any fluctuations that may occur, especially in battery-powered applications. The Zener diode D1 is included for voltage regulation, ensuring that the circuit operates within safe voltage limits.

Overall, this temperature regulator circuit is a practical solution for monitoring and responding to temperature changes in various environments, providing both audible and visual alerts when the temperature exceeds the desired limits. Proper insulation and placement of the thermistor are crucial for accurate readings and reliable operation.The circuit is small regulatorof temperature, us warns for the increase of temperature. The control of temperature becomes from the thermistor TH1, that is negative factor. His resistance is altered between in the 10K in temperature 25° C and roughly in the 1K in their 94° C. The trimmer TR1 regulates the precise temperature in which the Q1-2, connected as darlington, conduct, making him relay K1 close also the buzzer BZ, sound.

The alarm is activated when the temperature becomes bigger than predetermining. The thermistor it should he is placed far from the remainder circuit, in order that this is not in danger from the temperature. The supply of circuit becomes from battery 9V, but if he is placed in constant place, then we can him supply with one power supply . In the contacts of relay we can connect what load we want, as a lamb, other circuit k.a. Also can is added a LED, if we want to have also optical clue of excitation. The regulation becomes sinking him thermistor TH1, in water which we know the temperature of (the contacts should are well insulate so that do not have short-circuit) and regulating him trimmer, until excited the circuit.

The cable that we connect the circuit with the TH1, should be plate.
