Custom phase change controller "Golden Froster"

[FireDragon]

NICE, work Golden_Eagle I am also designing something like this for my chiller I want it for this list of things.

1) Control the compressor to turn on and off with the temps once I find the chillers happy place.
2) Monitor res temps
3) Control condenser fan speed
4) monitor compressor temps and have a fan come on once a set temp is reached then shut off once it is bellow the temp by a certain margin.
5) And a few other various things that I have forgotten at the moment...(did you know that weed gives you short term memory loss...)o nit pick at.

So that is my plain here…once I design it I will put up a schematic for all of you to nit pick at…

[Nerm]

I want 20 please!

lol @ Chilly1! You know if you get 20 you will get 40 PM's going "I want one in my unit" hahahaha

Any updates on this project?

[Ssilencer]

Done.
I will update later...

[chunkylover77]

How can I order one?

[Ssilencer]

G-Froster Value ready too

G-Froster Value ready too

What does this do compared to the Golden Froster?

[Golden_Eagle]

G-Froster Value specs:

• 1 Input for temperature sensor (-67 Fahrenheit or -55Celsius )
• Led display , to show basic information.
• 1 Motherboard power-on/off control.
• 1 Compressor power control.
• Fixed settings (-25c(-13f) power on, 0c(32f) power off) (this parameters can be
customised by user request)
• 5 min Restart delay (this parameters can be
customised by user request)

Very nice. What controller and lcd did you use?

[B5I8]

Are those G-Froster Value's the ones you sent to Chilly1? I asked him to integrate a froster unit into my phase change cooler. To bad there's no blue LED Display for the value unit, that would've been sweet.

[Ssilencer]

We sent both models to chilly1 to test them.
An lcd disply for the value is overkill, cause it costs near 50% more, and then you have the full G-Froster X

A blue LED readout, not an LCD. I don't like the standard red LED display.

OK, if you send me blue led readouts, I use them for your exclusive G-Froster value
For more info, send me a pm

I'll show you where they sell them. I'm hoping Chilly1 will install the G-Froster X. I personally don't like to buy "value" anything, I like the full deluxe versions . You pay more but you get more.

Here's the link to the Blue readouts:

Hi B5I8, I´m afraid that this thing they sell is not apropiate for the G-Froster value...
We need 7 segment displays, not voltimeters.
Btw we are in Argentina. It wouldn´t be cheap to import a few parts just for one card to sell.

Oh sorry . I just thought it'd be nice to have a different color display that's all. Nice work BTW.

Nice work Golden Eagle....This what i've waiting for so a Chilly1 unit I've been thinking of ordering

Just to let you know, I did find some 7 segment displays in blue that I'm pretty sure will work. Here are the links:

U don´t have to be sorry, I bet lots of people like that blue leds, the problem is that we thought of Value version as a real cheap controller.
I apreciate your links

[chilly1]

I will see what I can find for 7 segment displays in different colors here in the states...

[Marvin]

After remove the small LCD from my case, i found that would fit like a glove :



Very nice work...

[Golden_Eagle]

Maybe, but not all the 7 segment led displays are the same.

Apologies for my ignorance, why is a restart delay important?

[Cr@sh_D1n3r]

it's used as a protection when you shut off the compressor so the pressure on both side (high and low) equilize and make sure the compressor is safe to restart
