This diploma thesis deals with maintaining possibilities for appropriate climatic conditions in outdoor greenhouse. The importance for growing plants is an appropriate temperature, humidity and adequate supply of water. The aim of the study is to suggest an apparatus sustaining beforehand defined conditions in the greenhouse with minimal requirements for maintenance. Apparatus uses analogue control by applying photosezistor and thermistor. For power supply are DC-DC converters used.

This master’s thesis describes design procedure of a heat-regulating system to stabilize its temperature using a Peltier module. The implementation uses eight-bit microcontroller ATmega16 made by company ATMEL for the local and remote control system. The temperature sensors communicate with the microcontroller by serial SPI interface. To display user data, it has a DEM16217SYH type character LCD display with HD44780 control circuit. To collect data from the cooling areas of Peltier module, accurate ADT7320 temperature sensors are used, made by company Analog Devices. The Control of the Peltier module happens in two points of the electrode system and a bistable hysteresis software regulator is used. The first part summarizes the theory, which concerns with the design. Next part concerned with issues of the Peltier module, overview of temperature sensors, description of the microcontroller, the display unit and the used regulator. Last part describes the hardware and software implementation.

It is developed to study the integrated instrumentation and control heat transfer. Based on this we developed a heat signal generator on a flat surface and applied to the measurement of thermal properties, in a system similar to electrical circuit. After several experiments, the results indicates the validity of the proposal. / Neste trabalho apresenta-se um estudo teórico e experimental de um controle P.I.D.- Proporcional, Integral e Derivativo, utilizando módulos Peltier s que alcançam precisão de cerca de 0.01oC.

This work describes a master’s thesis in engineering physics at Umeå University carried out during the spring semester of 2014. In the thesis the student has constructed and tested a temperature controlled cell for cooling/heating of surface-enhanced-Raman-spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for rapid detection of volatile substances. The thesis was carried out at the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) in Umeå, Sweden. A Linkam Scientific Instruments TS1500 cell was equipped with a Peltier element for cooling/heating and a thermistor temperature sensor. A control system was constructed, based on an Arduino Uno microcontroller board and a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) H-bridge motor driver to control the Peltier element using a proportional-integral (PI) control algorithm. The temperature controlled cell was able to regulate the temperature of a SERS substrate within -15 to +110 °C and maintain the temperature over prolonged periods at ±0.22 °C of the set point temperature. Gas phase of 2-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1-trifluoro-ethane (isoflurane) was flowed through the cell and SERS spectra were collected at different temperatures and concentrations. This test showed that the signal is increased when the substrate is cooled and reversibly decreased when the substrate was heated. Keywords: temperature control, Raman scattering, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy SERS, SERS substrate, volatile substances, Peltier module, thermistor, PWM, H-bridge, PI(D) control. / Detta dokument beskriver ett examensarbete för civilingenjörsexamen i teknisk fysik vid Umeå Universitet som utförts under vårterminen 2014. I examensarbetet har en kyl-/värmecell för temperaturkontroll av substratytor för ytförstärkt ramanspektroskopi (SERS) för snabb detektion av farliga flyktiga ämnen konstruerats och testats. Arbetet utfördes vid Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut (FOI) i Umeå, Sverige. Utgångspunkten var ett Linkam Scientific Instruments TS1500 mikroskopsteg, vilket utrustades med ett Peltierelement för kylning/värmning och en termistor för temperaturövervakning. Ett styrsystem baserat på ett Arduino Uno mikrostyrenhetskort konstruerades med ett motordrivkort (H-brygga) vilket använder pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) för att reglera spänningen till Peltierelementet utifrån en PI-regulator. Den färdiga cellen klarade att reglera temperaturen på ett SERS-substrat i ett temperaturspann på ungefär -15 till +110 °C med en temperaturstabilitet på ±0.22 °C av måltemperaturen. Cellen testades sedan på flyktiga ämnen för att visa dess funktion. Difluorometyl-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-kloroetyleter (isofluran) i gasfas, med instrumentluft som bärargas, flödades genom cellen och SERS-spektra erhölls vid olika koncentrationer och temperaturer. Vid samtliga koncentrationer visades att lägre temperatur ger ökad signalstyrka. När ytan sedan värmdes upp sjönk signalen reversibelt tillbaka till ursprungsvärdet. Nyckelord: temperaturkontroll, ytförstärkt ramanspektroskopi, SERS, flyktiga ämnen, Peltierelement, thermistor, PWM, H-brygga, PI(D)-regulator.
