Hi, I am using my current dual loops system for a while, and now there is a plan to install a Aquaero for the better control. I read about, how it works, but there are some things, what i do not understand, when you want to add an Aquaero to a dual loop system, may somebody knows the answers what i am after. I do not want to buy the controller, until i am not sure, it will work.
I have checked the PCB. So, you have two aquabus(low-high) connector, and only one flow meter connector.

The latest firmware converts the aquabus-low port to a flow port.
CHANGELOG
So you now have two flow ports available on the aqauaero.
In my loops there will be 1-1 Aquacomputer D5 with the aquabus interface(just purchased them to replace the old VPP655). 1-1 flow meter, and 2-2 temp sensor (before & after the blocks).
There is my question, because with a single loop it would be straight. How can i connect the two D5, and the two flow sensor to the Aquaero?
Also, when i choose the Flow sensors, i can see two different type. The one, which has only the RPM port, and the other, what has USB, temp, aquabus ports. The second one would be great, as i instant get one of the planned temp sensor.
So, as i reckon, cannot connect the two flow sensor to the one flow port, i have to use the aquabus ports. I still do not understand, how does these aquabus ports work to be honest. Is it possible, if i use Y splitter for the two D5 pumps, which goes to the aquabus HIGH, and an other Y splitter for the flow sensors, which goes to the aqubus LOW port? Actually, what is the different between the low and high port?
Thanks for the help!
Here is a possible scenarios for your dual loop system.
Common to both loops:
- one aquaero to control both loops
- one
splitty9 connected to the aquaero aquabus-high port to consolidate all aquabus connections
- one external
temperature sensor reading ambient room temperature, connected to aquaero temp-in port 3
- one internal
temperature sensor reading internal case temperature, connected to aquaero temp-in port 4
- case push fans connected to the aquaero fan port 3
- case pull fans connected to the aquaero fan port 4
Loop 1:
- one D5 USB/aquabus pump connected to the splitty9 (aquabus address set to 12)
- one
High Flow sensor USB connected to the splitty9 (aquabus address set to 13)
- one
inline temperature sensor at the radiator exit port for coolant temperature, and connected to aquaero temp-in port 1
- all loop-1 radiator fans connected to the aquaero fan port 1
Loop 2:
- one D5 USB/aquabus pump connected to the splitty9 (aquabus address set to 14)
- one
High Flow sensor USB connected to the splitty9 (aquabus address set to 15)
- one
inline temperature sensor at the radiator exit port for coolant temperature, and connected to aquaero temp-in port 2
- all loop-2 radiator fans connected to the aquaero fan port 2
Controllers:
- set both pump's rpm to yield the flow rate desired for each loop, and leave alone
- make a case virtual temp for the difference between ambient (room) and internal (case)
- set a controller to control the case push fans according to the case virtual temperature
- set a controller to control the case pull fans according to the case virtual temperature
- (if positive pressure desired, push more aggressively than pull)
- make a loop-1 coolant virtual temp for the difference between ambient (room) and loop-1 coolant
- set a controller to control the loop-1 fans according to the loop-1 virtual temperature
- make a loop-2 coolant virtual temp for the difference between ambient (room) and loop-2 coolant
- set a controller to control the loop-2 fans according to the loop-2 virtual temperature
