Development of a Didactic Kit for Temperature Control: A Comparative Analysis of Passive and Active Cooling Strategies

Cajueiro, Emanuel Benício de Almeida; Schweitzer, João Pedro Rocha

Full article:

This paper presents the development and implementation of a didactic kit designed to control the temperature of a resistor using two different approaches. The first one involves passive cooling by varying the duty cycle to the resistor, while the second approach employs active cooling through a DC fan. The kit utilizes an ESP32 Dev Module, coupled with PID controllers and MOSFETs, to enable power modulation and fan RPM control, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the active cooling strategy outperforms the passive one in terms of response time and stability. The didactic kit serves as an educational tool, offering hands-on experience with control techniques and facilitating a better understanding of engineering applications.
