ADAPTABLE THERMAL JACKET FOR

PEOPLES IN EXTREME WEATHERS WITH

SOLAR POWERED CHARGING AND MOBILE
APP CONTROL
ABSTRACT
 Human comfort is that condition of mind, which
expresses itself with the thermal environment. This
project concentrate on conditioning the thermal
environment about 5 degree higher or lower than the
ambient so as to produce comfort to human body
according to the ambient conditions. The main
objective of the project is to design a highly reliable
and wearable jacket that controls extreme
temperatures for people working in extreme weather
conditions. The Thermo-electric module uses Peltier
effect which converts the electrical energy applied
from the ends of the Thermo-electric module into the
temperature difference which can either produce
cooling and heating on either sides of the module.
EXISTING SYSTEM
 Temperature of the jacket is controlled using
Thermoelectric cooler and temperature sensor
connected to a microcontroller. The temperature
of the suite varies automatically according to
preset limits. Power supply for the suit is
connected to a Li-Ion battery pack.
DRAWBACKS
 The battery back up of the Li-Ion battery pack is
low.
 If the battery gets discharged the suit fails and
one have to recharge it by connecting to a
charger.
 The user cannot monitor or control the suit
temperature.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
 The project mainly points on the development of a
portable air-conditioning unit that facilitate the on sight
comfort of workers by heating or cooling the jacket worn
by them according to the weather temperatures. The
Thermo-Electric module has two sides, and when DC
current flows through the device, it brings heat from one
side to the other, so that one side gets cooler while the
other gets hotter. The heat sink attached to the device
will spread off the hot or cold from either of the sides to
the pipe attached to the jacket according to the ambient
conditions. The temperature of the suit is monitored with
a temperature sensor and controlled using Bluetooth
through a Smart phone mobile App. A Solar charging
unit is designed to charge the batteries while using in
remote areas, thus improving battery backup.
ADVANTAGES
 The suit is installed with a long battery backup
battery.
 Battery is automatically charged with a solar
charge controller which further improves standby
time.
 The suit temperature can be monitored and
controlled using a smart phone based mobile app
by the user.

HARDWARE DETAILS
Thermoelectric coolers (TECs):
 Thermoelectric coolers are also called as peltier
plates or peltier coolers.
 TECs work on the basic principle of peltier effect
which either can produce heating or cooling
according to the applied voltage.
HARDWARE DETAILS
LM35 Temperature Sensor:
 The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit
temperature devices with an output voltage
linearly-proportional to the Centigrade
temperature.
HARDWARE DETAILS
HC-05 Bluetooth Module:
 HC‐05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP
(Serial Port Protocol) module, designed for
transparent wireless serial connection setup.
 It is a fully qualified Bluetooth V2.0+EDR
(Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps. Modulation with
complete 2.4GHz radio transceiver and baseband.
HARDWARE DETAILS
Control Relay Driver :
 The Relay Driver Module makes it simple and
convenient to drive loads such as 12V relays from
simple 5V digital outputs of microcontroller or
compatible board. Any of the control channels can
be used independently.
HARDWARE DETAILS
ATmega32 Microcontroller
HARDWARE DETAILS
 ATmega32 is very much similar to ATmega16
microcontroller with certain differences which
are discussed below.
 ATmega32 is an 8-bit high performance
microcontroller of Atmel’s Mega AVR family.
Atmega32 is based on enhanced RISC (Reduced
Instruction Set Computing) architecture with 131
powerful instructions.
 ATmega32 has 32 KB programmable flash
memory, static RAM of 2 KB and EEPROM of 1
KB.
 The endurance cycle of flash memory and
EEPROM is 10,000 and 100,000, respectively.
CONCLUSION
 By using this project in real time applications the
thermal jacket can help peoples to work even in
extreme weather conditions. Combined with
integrated solar charge control and optional
battery/charger systems, it provides the
conveniences of back-up and always ON, on-
demand small scale solar electrical power. The
use of solar panel gives continuous output of
power without less maintenance. A mobile phone
app is designed to monitor and control the
temperature of the suit using Bluetooth
connectivity.
