    Air flow detector circuit.adminJune - 7 - 2008117 Comments

    Description.

    This circuit can give a visual indication of the rate of air flow.It can be also used to check whether there is air flow in a givenspace.

    The filament of a incandescent bulb is the sensing part of the circuit.When there is no air flow the resistance of the filamentwill be low.When there is air flow the resistance drops , because the moving air will remove some of the heat generated inthe filament.This variations in the resistance will produce variation of voltage across the filament.These variations will bepicked up by the opamp (LM339) and the brightness of the LED at its output will be varied proportionally to the airflow.

    Circuit diagram with Parts list.

    Notes.

    The filament L1 can be made by removing the glass of a 40W incandescent bulb.The circuit can be powered from a 12 V DC power supply.

    sir the result is coming oppositely to ur saying.when air flows through the filament the brightness of bulb is decreasing

    ReplySeetharaman says:April 28, 2013 at 8:16 am

    Hi Adnan you have to use low ohmic PTC (33 ohms). LM339 can drive a maximum of 6mA, hence you have to add atransistor to take care of the drive current of the relay.

    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(theair flow will cool the bulb filament (which is heated by constant current flow through it). Once the air flowdecreases the bulb temperature will increase its resistance will increase which will detected and indicated by theLED.Reply

    Hi Please go through my earlier commentMarch 21, 2010 at 9:54 pmHi Ireti The IC 7805 forms a 60mA constant current source feeding the filament. The voltage drop across it iscompared by the comparator IC and the ouput is produced. Normally cold bulb filament resistance is low(apositive temperature coefficient material) as it gets heated up the drop across the filament increases due towhich 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 indicateby LED going on, interchange comparator ICs inv and non inv port (4 & 5)

    Replyseetharaman says:October 26, 2011 at 9:38 am

    Hi Shalini you can use it as it is but it will be bulky you carefully remove the filament including its end connecting stiffwire, 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 temperaturecoefficient, which is more suited for the project. since you do not get them freely in the market the simple aboveprocedure is given. you can use a small radio bulb(as small as possible so that it can sense the temperature change bigbulbs will take a loger time as they have inert gas filled in, 6 volt 300mA bulb) without breaking it.

    ReplyShalini 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 bulbattachments like the base also?

    Replyseetharaman 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 thebulb 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 firstwithout any air flow adjust the pot such that the LED just goes off. now slowly bolw air on the filament the LED willcome on, indicating the circuit is functioning.

    ReplyShalini says:October 23, 2011 at 7:01 am

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

    Hi Rupak the standard method is to use a rotating blade anemometer. this uses the principle of cooling due to air flowon a heated wire. as the air flow increases the cooling is greater. as it is a matalic wire with positive resistancetemperature coefficient the value of resistance of the filament (sensor) is measured to indicate the flow.

    Hi Ireti The IC 7805 forms a 60mA constant current source feeding the filament. The voltage drop across it iscompared by the comparator IC and the ouput is produced. Normally cold bulb filament resistance is low(a positivetemperature coefficient material) as it gets heated up the drop across the filament increases due to which the LED goeson. when the filament senses air flow the heat is removed hence the resistance falls down, due to which the LED goesoff. If you want the operation other way, air more than a particular flow to indicate by LED going on, interchangecomparator ICs inv and non inv port (4 & 5)

    Hi sir, I am student in oou ago iwoye ogun state Nigeria, i am studying physics with electronics ,if you can give moreinformation about this air flow detector circuit, the function of each resistance, and the function of the capacitor, andif there any hints or notes, because am to make a project on it. You can send them to me by an email.Thank you

    what is the need of IC7805 in this circuit?

    sir i want to know whether this circuit can also indicate the direction in which air flows?

    What is the output voltage of this circuit?

    ReplySeetharaman says:January 16, 2010 at 9:30 pm

    Hallo Usama and Manish IC1 is a constant current source of 60mA for the filament. IC2 is a comparator. With thepresent circuit the LED will become dim with higher air flow. To make it brighter with higher air flow interchange invand non-inv inputs of IC2. or alternately return the LED to ground instead of plus 12Volt. IC2 can be replaced withTL071. Happy assembling and enjoyReplyJohn says:

    This is a simple but useful circuit, thanks for making it freely available. That said I expected the circuit to function inreverse, instead of the LED dimming when airflow is detected I assumed it would brighten. Any suggestions on how tomodify the circuit so that the LED brightens with air movement? I tried reversing the input signal to the comparatorand it does work but the output barely lights the LED.
