TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLER_WITH_DEFROST_CYCLE

This temperature controller has a range of -50 to +150°C and permits defrosting. R7, VR3, and R8 set the controller's trip point. 51 initiates defrosting, S2 cancels defrosting. VR1 and VR2 set the defrost-temperature trip point.The LM134, IC1, is a thermal sensor. One section of IC3, a quad op amp, buffers the sensor's output. The other section func-tions as Schmitt trigger and buffer for the normal-cycle circuitry and as a comparator for the defrost-cycle circuitry. If you wish to control a heater rather than a refrigerator, omit the final inverter in Q1's base circuit. You must select LM7805s that have outputs between 4.95 and 5.05 V, or the circuit might not work.
