Abstract

This proposal is based on the project of the Prototype Research Grant Scheme (PRGS: PRGS / 1 /2016 / TK04 / FTK / 03 / T00014) that primarily a concern in managing the temperature sensor for the cooling of the Lightning Detection System. Moreover, this proposal is based on the Final Year Project of [1]. The problem statement is the temperature sensor used is not very accurate to detect the temperature inside the part of the Cooling Box System. The detected temperature values cause the Peltier and fan to be active at inappropriate times such as nighttime. The Peltiers and the fans should work in the sun because they want to keep the temperature low inside Cooling Box System. The temperature sensor’s role is to detect the temperature. Thus, an inappropriate positioning place inside Cooling Box System causing the temperature sensor to detect the temperature in one place only at the same time. The objective of this project is to identify the performance of Thermoelectric Peltiers and fans are functioning at the right and proper time, to improve the temperature sensors circuitry with suitable and more effective components, and to determine the position of the appropriate temperature sensor to be placed in the Cooling Box System to get accurate detection of the temperature in the Cooling Box. The hardware execution will be using Arduino Mega 2560 as the microcontroller, Thermoelectric Peltier as the coolant, and DS18B20+ model as the Temperature Sensor. As a result, the system will operate if the ambient temperature is more and equal to 27o Celcius.
