Here is what im working on. It´s an old electric box bought from my work. Drilled the holes, sanded and painted. Tonight ive putted all the components just to have a glimpse of what it will look like. For now im pretty pleased. It works only on 240v . I use auber PIDs and one DSPR-1 for boil...

Thanks for those clear answers. Its for one of those

I have a volt/amp meter to put in my brewing panel. The amp part is a torroid transformer coil. From what i read i need to let the live 240v wire from my inlet receptacle pass through it. My question is can i lengthen the wire of the transformer coil to position it far from the meter or should i...

At first the valve was to keep water from my garden on and have a control to turn the CFC on or off. I did not think about using the valve for temperature control. It seems like a good idea. I was planning on using the flow of the wort to control temp. I dont know if those two will work equally...

I just finished my counter flow chiller to cool my wort. I took 1/2 ID copper tubing. About 25 feet. I decided to weld copper wire in spiral around it. i took some 12 gauge electrical wire and stripped the plastic around it. i then coiled it around the tube with a turn every 3 inches. i did a...

Mounting the heatsing up side down on the outside of your box seems a good idea to keep everything clean and accesible. You would also notice right away if the fan fails. For the looks!! Well I guess you could trim the finns where the mounting holes are . Maybe somebody who works in a metal...

I just happen to get my hand on one of those heat sink. Is was used inside a panel to cool a 600v motor speen controler. The fan also work on 24v AC. Everything was covered in dust so it needed a good cleaning. After that it looks like that

The only bad side i see is that with time dust can stick on the heat sink and reduce the cooling. If you drill holes in you panel to let air in dust will get everywere on and in your components. If you wish to keep this fan heatsink inside you panel you could connect the air input and output to...

Seesaw

Does anybody has experience putting a 240v LED indicator for the element circuit that is controlled by an Auber DSPR-1. The way the digital power controller works in burst mode is by proportionally in % turning on and off by the number of cycles (Hz) per sec. So if i understand right, if i'm...

Thanks to you all. i just wanted to avoid mistakes before they happens. To answer BlkWater Brewer, Its because my control panel is divided in 2 Auber PID for HLT and MT (with 3 way switch) on one SSR, contactor and element and an Auber DSPR-1 on the other SSR, contactor, element. The DSPR can be...

I would like to know if a SSR is being used (Loosing life expectancy) when a PID or DSPR is sending 12V pulses to it when the SSR is not controlling the 240v circuit (element off by a contactor)? Should i use a switch to isolate the 12V output of the PID from the Input of the SSR when the panel...

I would be worried with the price of a big SS pipe! Also you need a liquid to exchange heat. If its water you need some kind of agitator to keep your temperature evenly distriduted and you need some kind of pressure release valve to avoid making a bomb. I would say that the external container...

I just read that the resistance from one RTD's is outputted to temp and may have to be corrected with the input offset (Pb) on the auber SYL-2352. When you swith to another RTD's it may give another reading if the resistance is not quite the same. Wire length, connector , two Pt100 from...

Thanks.

Thanks. I was just trying to protect my investment. Auber PID are a little expensive. I have another question for you. Is it possible to use 2 x syl- 2352 PID with a 3 way switch to control the signal to a single SSR. I heard its not ok for 2 rtd´s probes but does the PID knows if a SSR is...

Can somebody put a light on my questioning. Im planning on a control panel that works only on 240 volts. im using a camco 5500w element. The power to this element is controlled by a auber SYL-2352 PID and a 40amp SSR. My concern is the following. will the rapid switching of the element will...

@Oshodisa, Sorry for the delay to answer back, here's the part list for my sight tube. it starts with: Jim Dunlop 213 Dun Btlnk Slide Hvy Large from amazon and 2 x Silicone Flange Gasket, Ring, Red, Fits Class 150 Flange, 1/8" Thick, 1/2" Pipe Size, 27/32" ID, 1-7/8" OD (Pack of 1), also from...

Tri claps seems like a strong solution. Do you think 1\2 inch camlock would be able to handle the weight of a 50 ' copper coil?

I work in a lab were we have to dilute sodium hydroxyde pellets. Usually 20% solution are very strong. Sodium hydroxide in its solid form have tendency to get very warm when you add it to water. never do the opposite. the way to go is adding a small portion stir then let it cool or put you...
