Design with 10' firefly exhaust fan in Cirkit DesignerThe 10' Firefly Exhaust Fan (Part ID: exfan1) is a high-performance ventilation solution designed for efficient airflow and cooling in a variety of settings. With its 10-foot diameter, this exhaust fan is ideal for large spaces such as warehouses, factories, greenhouses, and other industrial or commercial environments. Manufactured by Firefly, this fan combines durability, energy efficiency, and powerful performance to meet demanding ventilation needs.
This circuit consists of a 9V battery powering a 12" exhaust fan through a rocker switch. The switch controls the connection between the battery and the fan, allowing the user to turn the fan on and off.

This circuit features an MQ-4 gas sensor connected to a 5V relay, which likely controls the activation of an exhaust fan based on the gas concentration levels detected. The relay switches power from a 7.4V source to the fan, with two rocker switches acting as manual on/off controls for the power supply to the relay and the fan. The circuit is designed to provide safety by automatically activating ventilation when potentially dangerous gas levels are detected.

This circuit is designed to display information on a 16x2 LCD and control a 12V DC fan, with wireless connectivity provided by an HC-05 Bluetooth module. It includes an Arduino UNO for control logic, a power supply with a transformer and switch, and a potentiometer for LCD contrast. The fan's operation is managed by a MOSFET, and there is a piezo speaker for audio signals and an LED as an indicator.

This circuit is a motion-activated fan control system. An IR sensor detects motion and activates a 12V relay, which then powers on 12V fans. The system uses a 9V battery for the sensor and relay, and a separate 12V battery for the fans.

|---|---|
| Black | Live (L) |
| White | Neutral (N) |
| Green/Yellow | Ground (Earth) |
While the 10' Firefly Exhaust Fan is not directly compatible with an Arduino UNO due to its high voltage and power requirements, you can control it indirectly using a relay module. Below is an example of how to control the fan using an Arduino and a relay:
/*
Example: Controlling the 10' Firefly Exhaust Fan with Arduino and a Relay
Note: This code assumes the relay is connected to pin 7 on the Arduino.
Ensure proper isolation between the high-voltage fan and the Arduino.
*/
const int relayPin = 7; // Pin connected to the relay module
void setup() {
pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); // Set relay pin as output
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Start with the relay off
}
void loop() {
// Turn the fan on
digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
delay(10000); // Keep the fan on for 10 seconds
// Turn the fan off
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
delay(5000); // Keep the fan off for 5 seconds
}
Important Note: Use a relay module rated for 220-240V AC and ensure proper isolation between the Arduino and the high-voltage circuit.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on | Loose or incorrect wiring | Check and secure all connections |
| Fan speed cannot be adjusted | Faulty speed control switch | Replace the speed control switch |
| Excessive noise during operation | Loose mounting or debris in the fan | Tighten mounting and clean the fan |
| Overheating | Blocked airflow or motor issue | Clear obstructions and inspect motor |
| Vibrations during operation | Improper installation | Reinstall and ensure secure mounting |
