This temperature controlled relay circuit is a simple yet highly accurate thermal
control circuit which can be used in applications where automatic temperature
control is needed. The circuit switches a miniature relay ON or OFF according to
the temperature detected by the single chip temperature sensor LM35DZ.

When the LM35DZ detects a temperature higher than the preset level (set by
VR1), the relay is actuated. When the temperature falls below the preset
temperature, relay is de-energized. The circuit can be powered by any DC 12V

supply or battery (100mA min.)

How it works?
The heart of the circuit is the LM35DZ temperature sensor which is factory-
calibrated in the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale with a linear Degree->Volt
conversion function. The output voltage (at pin 2) changes linearly with
temperature from 0V (0oC) to 1000mV (100oC).

The preset (VR1) & resistor (R3) from a variable voltage divider which sets a
reference voltage (Vref) form 0V ~ 1.62V. The op-amp (A2) bu ers the reference
voltage so as to avoid loading the divider network (VR1 & R3). The comparator
(A1) compares the reference voltage Vref (set by VR1) with the output voltage of
LM35DZ and decides whether to energize or de-energize the relay (LED1 ON or
OFF respectively).

Can you please provide us a humidity controller circuit witch will provide humidity to a
set point and turn of the humidity provider after reaching the set point as like
temperature controller, and it has to be simple and easy … Thanks

I think K1 is the coil of the relay.

What is the function of IC2? This is a viable project and I need functions of every
component so as to design it well.
