Sorry I don't catch the question...maybe is my not so good english...but the project and the implementation is very serious and....it works !;)

Some more picture with the final set up...all components have been have been tighten on the base and some neoprene foil have been inserted in order to reduce noise and thermal transfer do you like it ? :) Davide

At the end of the day after few tunings and mechanical/hydraulic optimization I succeed in testing the system. Saturday I have brewed 30L of ESB and I had the chance to cool it in the new fermenter. the video below show you details of the rig (as soon I have time I try to insert some label...

Hi I have moved the discussion in a specific thread form the thread dedicated to fermentation chamber peltier cooled since the two project, a part from cooling technology, have different solutions and development. The idea is to use an immersion water chiller inside the conical fermenter and...

made some preliminary test and a partial assembly installed the stainless steel coil… connected the heat exchanger and the pump insulated the fermenter the water flows and the pump seems to have enough power..I just want to add a reservoir in order to make the circuit...

I’m starting the upgrade of the cooler of my conical fermenter. I have sourced a surplus COOLIT freezone…that was made by a Canadian company in the past in order to watercool PC (overclocked CPU) The basic principle is still the same…air-water heat exchanger and the cool water is...

This is the main advantage of this watercooling fan controller... stand alone programming or PC GUI with plenty of input and output... For fermentation control seems really ok..direct cooler control, pump control, fan control, logging..programming profiles..capabilities..

These are good points ! about the power supply maybe you can power the controller with standard DC 12V and than all the power actors maybe could have different power supply. I don't see a direct load driving from the aquaero..more using PWM and other output signals in order to drive SSR...

I didn't perform a gap anlysis in term of features with arduino...I think the point could be slighltly different... Arduino is a barebone board and need to be programmed and integrated with all sensor and devices...let's say that it works at lower level. The idea behind the use of auqareo 5...

sorry...correct price is around 150$...it seems to me nice price/feature ratio !

Surfing the internet looking for some budget price HW (fittings, pum..) for my project of conical fermenter cooler I have found this unbelievable controller and monitoring system.. The Aquaero 5 XT is manufactured in Germany from Aqua Computers It’s a component that is sold as...

Hi what an incredible piece of HW...it seems more a nuclear reactor than a conical fermenter .. Since I have implemented something similar (see my picasa photalbum) I don’t understand how it works yours...

I can share also my experience with the same problem for cooling 30L conical fermenter. I have used a solid state TEC peltier coler with air-water heat exchanger controlled by PID regulator I use an internal stainless steel immersion chiller picasa web album...

In my implementation there is no a side that is hot or cold…they revert themselves according to external temperature and set point Ie when external temperature is to low the cabinet works like a oven…when the temperature is too high like a fridge.. This is one of the advantage of the peltier...

different way to say that peltier cells have low efficency...! :)

totally agree...peltier cells = low efficency but...in homebrewing efficency is not the main target... moreover the capabilty to reverse the hot/cold surface, the capability to drive continuosly the power (PWM modulation) , the compact and no mechanical part assembly...should be considered...

Maybe my english is not so good...:confused: but I don't understand the point related to heat generated by the unit...unless you are talking about the heat generated by power supply and TEC controller with h-bridge circuit (that have to be dissipated) Peltier cells as far as I understad works...

Hi sorry for the delay in my reply... about the cooler I was quite lucky...I found an ebay surplus with 4 cells , heatsink and fan already assembled...I think the producer was supercool (http://www.supercool.se) . It was a air/water exchanger that I have adapted air-to-air. I don't...

At the end I perform my first test here the day storyboard http://youtu.be/uQIQUxqv408 something to tune but everything seems ok..not so far from the BIAB theoretical calculation..:mug: I will share some details of receipe and results next post ciao Davide
