Key Technical Risk & Problem Areas

These are some key technical risks that we believe
might hamper our overall efforts
– Sensor interfacing
– Programming language selection - integration
– Potential long lead time on various components
– Size of prototype (transportation, work –space
availability)
– Component response to low temperatures
– Power supply interfacing (step-down transformers,
AC\DC conversion)
– Signal control and processing
– Microcontroller limitations
– High costs of components and supplies
EMC Standards



IEC 6100-3-3: Limitation of voltage fluctuations and
flicker in low-voltage supplies <16A
– Required because a low end voltage flicker could
damage the compressor
IEC 6100-4-5: Surge Immunity tests
– Required because the microcontroller and other
components need to be protected from potential
power surges
IEC 6100-4-11: Voltage dips, short interruptions, and
variations
– Required because brown out conditions will affect
keypad thereby affecting overall performance
Safety Standards



CSA C22.2 No. 14-95
– Applies for control and protective devices.
Control devices covered in this standard
include: pushbutton; flow-, pressure- operated
switches; and proximity switches.
IEC 60335-2-34
– Applies for the safety of motor-compressors,
their control and protection system which are
intended for household purposes.
UL 873
– Temperature-Indicating and -Regulating
Equipment: requirements for electrical
equipment for control for refrigeration
Specific Safety Requirements
 Ground
(GFCI)
Fault Circuit Interrupter
– Connected in series with the power
source. Needed because there will be
electronics in a potentially wet
environment: the sensors near the keg.
 Anti-tipping
Mercury Switch
– If the kegerator tips over, this will turn
off the compressor.

higher operating temperature than the
MC1403U.

Reliability Assessment,

 Total FIT’S = 825.2496
 MBTF = 0.00121175
 Dominant unreliable parts are LM741 Op-Amp and
Switches
 Obvious resolution for unreliable parts is to make
the switches waterproof as well as dustproof and of
a better quality to increase reliability factors as well
as better component selection on the Op-Amp.

Multiplexer which is the CMOS Analog Switch
MAX319 takes the analog input signal from the
signal conditioning block and the output of the
Switch is connected to A/D converter.
Analog Switch is implemented in order to ensure
that the switch bounce stops before the
Hysteresis gate reaches its input threshold
voltage.
CMOS Hysteresis gate with a threshold voltage of
0.45 to 0.55V in order to pull the input out of the
threshold the first time the gate switches.
Mechanical Switch is used to select either the
temperature signal or weight signal as an input
for the Multiplexer.
