Temperature Regulator Circuit with TIP122 Circuit Diagram

For best efficiency,make good thermal contact between the 40 ohm resistor,the TIP 122,the 3 diodes and the temperature controlled entity , the components all give off heat. We have some minor changes to the draft Roy. Roy A 4.7V zener is used in its original design and a resistor network, a range of operating temperatures of 188 degrees Kelvin to 243 Kelvin degrees C or -85 to -30 C.

Temperature Regulator Circuit with TIP122

This is fine in Cryocam Roy, but I’m afraid that many of our camera cookbook may not be able to reach a maximum temperature of Roy. That and the fact that related to the Zener 4.7V difficult to replace me with Roy Z 5.1V zener with more accessible. This diode is available off the shelf at Radio Shack. I supply the resistor network on a range of 190 K to 270 K or -83 C to -3 C I believe that most of our cameras can be maintained to -3 C and I doubt that all our cameras in a position are to be attained – 83 C, so I think that this area should be good enough coverage. I chose to use a 100k pot at some point, because I’m going to the plate with a dual digital potentiometer DS1267 replace. I do not allow for a distance, using Win245 software controllable temperature control and the 100K pot is the control loop is working is to be updated very easily. I intend to use the pot on the remaining DS1267 to replace R43 on the board pre-amp. This allows a selectable gain control software for the camera cookbook. More later.

I would recommend the maximum TEC voltage regulator and leave it there. The circuit temperature controller does the rest. You may want to perform delete on the part of the adjustment of supply voltage and tie the totally positive TEC voltage directly at the outlet of the resistors R1 and R2 in parallel with power supply stocks cookbook. There is much room is available for experiment. Roy says that his power TEC does not need to precisely controlled tension, but also be filtered and have less than 10% ripple. So, I think you no harm by not following the proportion of the supply voltage regulation will do Peltier.
