Custom phase change controller "Golden Froster"

[Sneil]

ah ok, thanks golden eagle good to know
and sorry by dumbed i meant lesser features, wasnt demeaning it or anything
Thanks again

Hey, Chilly, am I getting the XE on my dual compressor, triple evap unit? I'd be willing to wait for it if it turns out to be *that* much easier to install.

[Icy]

can somone just confirm the latest version as xe? and also is that the one with the 4 line lcd screen. If so who do i have to PM to get one of these babys in the UK! I love this thing soooo much got to get one. only wish they had black boards rofl as all the boards in my pc are black even my network card rofl

This is what chilly1 said in a pm
"the Xe has a 2 by 16 (characters) display the X had a 4 by 24 display.. they both have 4 temp probes and one fan header// and teh same software basically."

the Xe is the same as the full with just a smaller screen

And instead of using 2 PCB integrated 1 PCB making wiring much cleaner. It is IMHO more refined controller in every sense.

[Rabbi_NZ]

can you connect mains voltage directly into the device or does it need a 12v power adapter or something?

[Golden_Eagle]

Snail: no worries man. Actually I said it´s no dumbed because it´s a whole new desing; but you are right, it has less features It´s only one themp probe input in the G-Froster Xe and the LCD is smaller.

ICY: Xe is in fact the last controller released. U will get a pm with a quote asap. About the black pcb... we just can get green around here

Rabbi_NZ: Yes, you need to use an adapter.

Regards.

And correct me if I am wrong, swapping LCD means just matter of reprogramming firmware a little bit anyway to accomodate LCD sizing in concern (I know you don't have time to explain now). I myself thought it was great move to go 16x2 to reduce cost since all you will really care would be evap temperature display (small things adds up in cost quick otherwise)

[Golden_Eagle]

you are completely right jinu117 :thumbsup:

Can one of these be used to power and control 2 compressors run side by side and what sort of shut down and start up proceedure do they have??
Cheers

[Entsafter]

yes, because you can power up 1, 2 or 10 compressors with a relay...
I've also a question: can I use k-probes with the gfroster? would be much eassier, because on my dualhead are 2 k-probes and 1 with a 2 pin connector...

If you are asking for a procedure like a cascade, golden is finishing the cascade controller for Extremecorvette in some days, and it will be using K type probes. The actual frosters can't use k type.
If you want to power up/shutdown 2 compressors at the same time, you have to get a G-Froster X (up to 80amps) or get in touch with us by pm or msn.

[Entsafter]

No, it's for a single-stage...
I think chilly1 ordered normal g-froster x, but there is only 1 probe in the cpu evap and noone in the gpu evap.
I'll talk with chilly1 later

[fatty]

OK no what I was asking is I would like to control 2 compressors instead of a single duel headed unit 2 units on duel cpu's ....Also will the g-froster have thermal protection to shut down both compressors should one fail to hit temperature or not or if either overheats ???
Many thanks

I am awaiting the new controlers and i amn sending you another probe,, just ran out...

The G-frosters uses the thermal probe in the evap to control startup and emergency shut downs (also sense de 5v line to see if it is runing for shut down), if the evap don't reach a desired temp or "overheat" at 0c for example, the system will shut down. As you already know the compressors have his own thermal protection, so if the compressor shut down, the thermal probe will sense the rising temp and will shut down the system.

[Golden_Eagle]

G-Froster X can handle 8A on norlmal compressor runing, but spikes of up to 90A on the start up. That would be perfect for more than 1 compresor.
You can allways add an external switch (high current relay) with better current handling hability, to controll bigger loads.

G-Froster X is perfet to attend you requirements, you can control the whole system, and check the themps of the 4 temp probes to make the compresors turn of in case of a failure. We´ll need a new fimrware, that i´m about to release anytime soon.

[fatty]

Ok no probs can you pm me cost and shipping to the uk also when the firmware will be available

[chilly1]

I use a relay to ruin 2 compressors of gigher amperages.. I can throw one inthe next order if you want... I should have controllers in if you want to PM ssilencer and ask if he can ship yours i my next batch also...

Good idea

Ssilencer & Golden_Eagle, hey guys long time no see.. Happy holidays

I still have to flash the firmware and install the software..

Happy holydays for all of you guys!
I hope I can get online in my pc again in this year

Rebel900, thank you mate, btw I got the liquid electrical tape you sent me as a gift! thanks!!!
We will talk by msn anyday and do the update.

We need a page for the frosters as soon as possible, for the firmware updates, FAQs and etc.

[Sneil]

so how soon will chilly1 have the new controllers? he told me 2weeks like a month and a half ago
