Efficient Temperature Regulation: An Arduino-PID Approach to Peltier Water Cooling

This paper elaborates on the implementation of a water cooling system that utilizes a control system, central to which is an Arduino device. The cooling mechanism is facilitated by a Peltier module, which is a critical component in many temperature control devices. The control system implemented is a Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control system. This control system has been selected as it provides easy change in the variables of the device used as the Peltier module can be a little sensitive. Furthermore, our experimental design incorporates a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), which serves as the control device. The MOSFET is responsible for monitoring the voltage differential across the Peltier module's pins, thereby contributing to the system's overall efficiency. The results derived from our study highlight the significance of the Peltier module in the field of temperature control. They also shed light on the promising potential of integrating multiple Peltier modules for more advanced applications. As such, our study serves as a stepping stone for future research aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of temperature control systems.
