The design of an Automatic Temperature
Regulation with flow control system for Milkfish
Hatchery facilities wherein it comprises an
automatic temperature regulation with flow
control system, a spawning tank temperature
monitoring and a data logging system. Heated
water is achieved by implementing heating
element to monitor the actual temperature of
the heating tank which utilizes a solid state
relay as a switch and if necessary, will provide
adjustments by driving the water heater which
uses PID control algorithm. The heated water
will controllably flow to the spawning tank by
using a transistor switch circuit and a water
pump motor that drives the flow rate of the
water pump to achieve a gradual change in
temperature intended for milkfish. All gathered
data will be stored in a data logging system
controlled by through a user interface for future
reference.

The figure above shows the illustrative
conceptual framework of the system. Heated
water in the heating tank is supplied to the
Temperature VS Time
spawning tank then as the spawning tank
overflows, water returns back to the heating
tank. The system starts at measuring the
temperature in the spawning tank. If the
temperature in the spawning tank is below the
reference temperature, heater in the heating
tank automatically turns on and will continue to System %Percent Error = 3.608%
operate until the reference and measure
temperature matched in the heating tank. Then,
the water pump will push the heated seawater
from heating tank to the spawning tank. The
flow rate automatically decreases as it reaches
the desired temperature (30°C). A
microcontroller is used in this system to control
the flow rate from heating tank to spawning
tank, display the current temperature in the
heating tank and the spawning tank and to
record the temperature in the spawning tank
• Developed a control system that
every minute. automatically regulates the water
