    Abstract :

    This paper reports the design and implementation of a microcontroller based fuzzy logic controller for Air conditioning system. The proposed control strategy is planned to improve the performance of the Air conditioning system in terms of energy consumption and comfort indoor temperature by Fuzzy Logic Control Algorithm (FLCA) that is implemented in PIC 16F877A microcontroller through C-coding. The FLCA maintains the desired temperature value inside the prototype room by varying the duty cycle of PWM signal generated on microcontroller pin through which the rotational speed of air conditioning compressor is varied. In other words it controls the refrigeration cycle. The Fuzzy Logic Controller is compared with ON/OFF controller and it is observed that there is significant improvement with respect to performance parameters.
