Hi everyone!
We are building a bar-based brewery, and I really could use some advice, because I do this solely and for the first-time and my head is literally exploding with information :fro:
I need to design a controller for glycol-based chiller system for my FV and brewing heat exchanger.
I will have 3FV + 1BT at first, so I need to control 4 solenoid valves with something. I really want to have separate temperature controllers for each vessel, so I have a question.
If I take this valve (for example), which is 12v DC, what Auber temperature controller do I need?
Do I get it right, that if I take this one, I can directly control the solenoid by the internal 10A relay on it and I will need no other relays\devices?
Is PID scheme suitable for such operation? Or it will power-on and power-off my solenoid constantly until it dies?
If I'm wrong or I selected the wrong devices, please point me in a right direction. I'm a bit dumb in electrics and I'm really struggling here!
Thanks in advance.
