Diseño de un sistema de control a lazo cerrado de temperatura portátil para la germinación de semillas de hortalizas

Abstract

In the seed germination process, it is necessary to consider two important factors which are temperature and humidity, because these are the most influential factors during the beginning of the seed germination process. Therefore, an analysis of how temperature affects the germination process of the most common vegetable seeds is developed, as well as the most appropriate ranges for successful germination. Given the influence of the temperature factor on gestation is significant, this project aims to design and develop a temperature control system using the closed loop which has the ability to maintain a stable and constant temperature value. inside a closed structure. In addition, the device will be portable and low cost in order to benefit farmers by allowing them to reduce seed germination time in the best period of time. For that reason, this research still focusses on the implementation of the portable and low-cost closed-loop temperature control system for the germination of vegetable seeds, in which the optimal temperature value could be entered by the person based on the requirements of the selected seed.
