AquaComfort
Cool in summer, warm in winter

安澜 AquaComfort
夏天降温,冬天加热

An aquarium chiller and heater in one, for the whole year. It goes on the filter's return hose, outside the tank. One thermoelectric element pulls heat out of the water when the room is hot and pumps it in when the room is cold, and holds the whole tank at the temperature you set. Nothing in the tank, no heater to swap out when the season turns, and no copper anywhere the water flows.

安澜,鱼缸冷暖机,一台管全年。接在过滤器的出水管上,装在缸外。同一片半导体,房间热的时候把水里的热搬出去,房间冷的时候把热搬进来,整缸水一直守在你设的温度。缸里不放任何东西,换季不用拆加热棒,水路不碰铜。

Accuracy and energy figures come from the studio's water-loop simulation, with the real control software in the loop. Measured figures replace them before launch.

精度和耗电数据来自工作室的水路仿真(跑的是真实的控制程序),上市前以实测为准。

Heats more efficiently than a heater

加热比加热棒还省电

Heating is the same heat pump running backwards, not a resistor. A heater turns 1 kWh into 1 kWh of heat; in a winter room AquaComfort puts 1.5–2.2 kWh into the water for every kWh it draws, fan and electronics included (simulation).

加热就是同一个热泵反过来抽,不是电阻丝。加热棒 1 度电只能变成 1 度热;冬天里 AquaComfort 每用 1 度电,能往水里送 1.5–2.2 度热,风扇和电路的耗电都算在内(仿真)。

Ceramic, not a copper plate

水碰的是陶瓷,不是铜板

No metal cold plate: the water flows straight over the element's ceramic face, sealed by a food-safe gasket. Copper, zinc and aluminium ions are toxic to fish and shrimp, so none of them are in the water path. In the standard version the one metal part is the temperature probe's 304 stainless sheath; in the saltwater version not even that sheath touches the flowing water — no metal at all, for a slightly slower temperature response.

没有金属冷板,水直接流过制冷片的陶瓷面,四周用耐水密封圈封住。铜、锌、铝离子对鱼虾有毒,所以水路上一点都没有。标准版水路里唯一的金属是测温探头的 304 不锈钢外壳;海水版连这个外壳都不接触水流,水路零金属,代价是温控响应略慢。

Plugs into the hose you already have

接上过滤器出水管就能用

It sits inline on the canister filter's return, so nothing goes in the tank and no second pump is needed. The whole unit runs on 12 V.

串在过滤桶的出水管上:缸里不放东西,也不用再加一个水泵。整机 12 V 低压供电。

Never startles the fish

变温慢慢来,鱼不应激

Its own changes are gentle: from 25 to 28 °C takes six hours, at 0.5 °C an hour. And it shields the tank from the room: a window opened on a cold night, the heating switched on, the sun on the glass — the water still changes no faster than 1 °C an hour, as far as its power allows. Both rates are adjustable.

它自己变温很慢:从 25 °C 改到 28 °C,按每小时 0.5 °C 走,六个小时到位。外面来的冲击它也拦着:冬夜开窗、暖气一开、太阳晒到缸上,水温每小时最多变 1 °C(在机器能力范围内)。两个速度都可以调。

Filter stops? It backs off by itself

过滤器停了,它自己收力

When the water stops moving, it eases off the power so the water in the channel never gets too hot or icy, and picks up again when the flow returns.

水一停,它自动收小功率,水道里那点水不会被烫着、也不会结冰;来水后自动恢复。

Tells you when something is wrong

出了状况第一时间告诉你

Water outside the safe range, a sensor or a fault, weak flow — the light, the beeper and the app tell you. It even warns when a heat wave is more than one unit can carry, once it has been working flat out for two hours and the water is still a full degree short.

水温超出安全范围、传感器或设备故障、水流变弱,灯、蜂鸣器、App 一起提醒。热浪来了一台扛不住,它也会告诉你:全力工作两个小时、水温还差 1 °C 以上时提醒。

Big tank? Link up to sixteen

大缸?最多 16 台联动

Linked units run as one: a lead unit decides, the others follow over a wireless link, and if the lead unit drops out another takes over within two minutes and keeps the tank where it was.

多台联动就像一台:一台做主,其余无线跟随;主机掉线,两分钟内另一台自动接管,缸温照样守住。

Open-source main board, shared with Frostflare

AquaComfort’s controller is the very board Frostflare runs on, and it is open: schematic, PCB and BOM are published on OSHWHub. One board, proven in one product, now drives two. OSHWHub →

The first prototype

首版样机,结构已经定型

The structure of the first prototype is done. Here is what is inside, and why it is built this way.

首版样机的结构设计已经完成。下面是它的里面,以及为什么这样做。

样机背面:两个 G3/8 进出水口装着宝塔接头

Standard ports, any hose

通用接口,什么水管都能接

In and out are standard G3/8 female threads, marked IN and OUT on the base. Screw in the barb or quick connector for your hose size — plastic, never brass.

进出水口是通用的 3 分(G3/8)内丝,底座上标着 IN / OUT。拧上和你水管匹配的宝塔或快拧接头就行(用塑料接头,别用黄铜)。

一体成型水道板:中间是贴着制冷片陶瓷面的蛇形水道,四角螺丝孔压紧密封

One-piece water plate

一体成型水道板

The whole water path is one moulded plate: no joints to leak. The thermoelectric element's ceramic face sits right on the serpentine in the middle, pressed down at four corners onto the gasket.

整条水路是一块一体成型的板,没有拼接缝可漏。制冷片的陶瓷面直接压在中间的蛇形水道上,四角螺丝把它压紧在密封圈上。

大流量水道内部:水滴形渐扩的进出口,接 4 程蛇形水道

Built for full filter flow

大流量水道,不拖累过滤器

The inlet and outlet open out in a teardrop so the water spreads smoothly before the four passes under the ceramic, each 6 × 14 mm. Low loss means the filter keeps its flow — and fast water under the ceramic means good heat transfer.

进出口做成渐扩的「水滴」形,水先平顺地展开,再走过陶瓷面下的 4 程蛇形水道(每程截面 6 × 14 mm)。压损小,过滤器的流量保得住;流速快,换热就好。

Pick a mode for your tank

三种控温模式,按缸选

Most tanks do not need to sit at one exact number. Give AquaComfort a range and the water follows the room for free; the unit steps in only near the edges. Pick a mode to see what the water does.

大多数鱼缸并不需要钉死在一个温度。给它一个范围,水温跟着房间自由变化,快出界时它才出手。点一个模式,看看水温会怎么走。

How it fits in

怎么接

It goes on the filter’s outlet: tank → filter → AquaComfort → back to the tank. For a big tank, split the return with a Y piece and put two units side by side (in parallel): the filter keeps far more of its flow than with the units in a row, and the tank holds its temperature just as well. Several units on a small filter go in a row instead (see the calculator below).

接在过滤器的出水口:鱼缸 → 过滤桶 → AquaComfort → 回鱼缸。大缸用一个 Y 型三通,把两台并排接(并联):比串成一排,过滤器能保留多得多的流量,控温效果几乎一样。过滤器小、又要接好几台时,改成串联(见下面的计算器)。

How it works: when heating, the heatsink is the cold side, pulling heat out of the room air. Colder than the air’s dew point, it collects water like a glass of iced drink. This keeps it from going that cold: 0 = no limit, 100 = fins never wet, default 50. Higher means less heating in a cold, damp room; lower, more condensation.原理:加热时,散热器是冷的那一面,从房间空气里吸热。它比空气的露点还冷时,水汽会凝在鳍片上,就像冰饮料杯外壁冒水珠。防结露就是不让它冷到那个程度:0 不限制,100 完全不结露,默认 50。越高,冷而潮的房间里制热越弱;越低,冷凝水越多。
How it works: to pull heat from a cold room, the heatsink has to be colder than the air. Normally it stops at 3 °C so it never frosts — which leaves little to pull from a room under about 10 °C. With this on it may go below freezing; frost that builds up on the fins is melted every so often by running the unit backwards for a few minutes with the fan off.原理:要从冷房间里吸热,散热器得比空气更冷。默认它最低只到 3 °C,保证不结霜,所以房间低于约 10 °C 时就吸不到多少热了。打开后它可以降到 0 °C 以下;鳍片结的霜,机器隔一段时间短暂反向运行几分钟、停掉风扇,把它化掉。

Side effect of both: condensation and melted frost may drip from the heatsink onto whatever the unit stands on. The unit’s own key parts are waterproofed — decide by where it sits (a tray or a towel underneath, or keep the defaults).这两项的副作用:散热器上的冷凝水、化霜水可能滴到摆放机器的台面上。机器本身的关键部件做了防水,请根据摆放位置自行决定(垫个托盘或毛巾,或者保持默认)。

Plumbing接法
The water can normally be set to 10–35 °C, where aquarium life lives. Widen it only for a reason: cold-water species, a warming plan, an experiment.平时水温只能设在 10–35 °C,也就是观赏鱼和水草生活的范围。只在有理由时放宽:冷水鱼、升温计划、实验。

Questions

常见问题

Is it safe to have electronics on the tank's water?电器接在水路上,安全吗?

The whole unit runs on 12 V, and the water meets the element's ceramic face, the plastic channel and the 304 stainless probe sheath (in the saltwater version, not even that); the wiring stays on the dry side of the gasket.

整机 12 V 低压供电;水只接触制冷片的陶瓷面、塑料水道和 304 不锈钢探头外壳(海水版连探头外壳都不接触),导线和焊点都在密封圈的干侧。

Will it slow my filter down?会不会让过滤器的流量变小?

Somewhat, as any inline device does. For a big tank, link units side by side (in parallel), which keeps most of the filter's flow.

会小一些,任何串在管路上的设备都会。大缸建议多台并联,过滤器的流量能保留大部分。

What if the filter stops?过滤器停了会怎样?

It eases off by itself so the water in its channel neither overheats nor freezes, tells you the flow is weak if it stays stopped, and carries on when the water moves again.

它自动收小功率,水道里的水不会过热也不会结冰;停得久了会提示「水流弱」;来水后自动继续工作。

Is it loud?吵不吵?

The only moving part is the heatsink fan. Its speed follows the load, and when nothing needs doing it stops completely.

唯一会动的是散热风扇。转速跟着负载走,不需要工作的时候完全停转。

After a power cut?停电以后呢?

It starts again on its own and brings the tank back gently, at the same ramp rate as any other change.

来电自动恢复,并且按变温限速把水温慢慢带回来,不会猛拉。

Can I use it on a saltwater tank?海水缸能用吗?

Yes — choose the saltwater version: not even the 304 probe sheath touches the flowing water, so there is no metal in the water path. The reading lags by tens of seconds, so the temperature response is slightly slower; in simulation it holds the tank just as closely.

能,请选海水版:连 304 测温探头外壳都不接触水流,水路零金属。读数会慢几十秒,温控响应略慢;仿真中日常控温精度基本不受影响。

What if one unit is not enough?一台扛不住会怎样?

It keeps working flat out and the water settles as close as it can get. If it stays more than a degree short for two hours, you get a "not enough capacity" notice with what to do: add a unit, switch to Range mode, or shade and cover the tank. Use the calculator above to size it before you buy.

它会一直全力工作,水温尽量靠近设定。如果全力两个小时后还差 1 °C 以上,会提醒你「能力不足」,并告诉你怎么办:加一台、改成温度范围模式,或者给缸遮阳加盖。买之前可以先用上面的计算器算一算。
