SIR ;
WHAT IS ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE OF AIR FLOW DETECTOR? HOW IT WORK? PLS REPLY FAST

Air flow detector is user to find the adequate air flow in a system. (may be a bower or a cooling fan air flow)
Here the positive temperatue coefficient charecterestic of the bulb filament is used for detecting the air flow(the
air flow will cool the bulb filament (which is heated by constant current flow through it). Once the air flow
decreases the bulb temperature will increase its resistance will increase which will detected and indicated by the
LED.

Hi Please go through my earlier comment
March 21, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Hi Ireti The IC 7805 forms a 60mA constant current source feeding the filament. The voltage drop across it is
compared by the comparator IC and the ouput is produced. Normally cold bulb filament resistance is low(a
positive temperature coefficient material) as it gets heated up the drop across the filament increases due to
which the LED goes on. when the filament senses air flow the heat is removed hence the resistance falls down,
due to which the LED goes off. If you want the operation other way, air more than a particular flow to indicate
by LED going on, interchange comparator ICs inv and non inv port (4 & 5)

lm7805 is voltage regulator ic, means it can give you only 5 volt dc only..

Hi Shalini you can use it as it is but it will be bulky you carefully remove the filament including its end connecting stiff
wire, and solder the filament through the stiff wire to a small pcb (a standard straight line one or a dotted one
veroboard). now your sensor is ready for use. infact you require a tungstan wire which has a good positive temperature
coefficient, which is more suited for the project. since you do not get them freely in the market the simple above
procedure is given. you can use a small radio bulb(as small as possible so that it can sense the temperature change big
bulbs will take a loger time as they have inert gas filled in, 6 volt 300mA bulb) without breaking it.

Shalini says:
October 26, 2011 at 1:04 am
Thanks a lot sir! But how do i connect the filament in the circuit. Pls help cause im pretty clueless about how to do it.
After breaking the glass, how do I connect it in the circuit? Only the glass needs to be broken? not the other bulb
attachments like the base also?
Reply
seetharaman says:
October 25, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Hi Shalini you can use the 40watt bulb filament by carefully breaking the glass. this can be best done by keeping the
bulb in a thick plastic cover and carefully giving a hit with a sharp tool. now carefully take out the filament and use it.
the pot is for the flow level set adjustment. LED will come on when air flow sets in. to ckeck the operation first
without any air flow adjust the pot such that the LED just goes off. now slowly bolw air on the filament the LED will
come on, indicating the circuit is functioning.

Hi SHIRISHA practical application in boiler furnace air flow measurement, will enable total combustion of oil, coal or
gas. air flow measurement through any air duct. for temperature and pressure measurement you have to add suitable
sensors like RTD pressure transducer etc.
to add digital indication you can use the analog value availabe at the filament through amplification, can be calibrated
to velocity of air flow by comparison

Hallo Usama and Manish IC1 is a constant current source of 60mA for the filament. IC2 is a comparator. With the
present circuit the LED will become dim with higher air flow. To make it brighter with higher air flow interchange inv
and non-inv inputs of IC2. or alternately return the LED to ground instead of plus 12Volt. IC2 can be replaced with
TL071. Happy assembling and enjoy
