Rotintin Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm trying to use a Thermo sensor to send coolant to 1 of two shutoffs. If below -252, one opens to warm the fluid. If above the temp, the other shutoff opens toward the aquatuner. It works most of the time, but occasionally a packet slips through and damages the pipe. Is there a way to build this without that happening? Or is this a lag thing? Ignore the buffer gates. Also note that I've tried putting the sensor 1 box lower. Any advice would be appreciated.

Lifegrow Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Have the pipe sensor on the piece of pipe directly before the shutoff, or factor in the delay with logic.

I had the sensor right before initially, it was still faulty. Maybe i'll try a 0.1 second filter or something.

Craigjw Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 A few tips for making this work properly. 1. Make sure you can ALWAYS supply moving liquid, ie, can you ensure that your pipes NEVER get backed up. Use a pressure relief bridge somewhere on your piping, probably after the aquatuner. 2. Have the Thermo sensor IMMEDIATELY before the shut-off valve. Assuming these two factors are accounted for, the thermo sensor can be wired directly to your valve and you should have no problems with it.
