I tried testing a build where I freeze/chill enemies and detonate a cryo explosion with proximity mine. But I hardly see any detonations occuring.

Can cryo explosions only occur when the target is FROZEN, not CHILLED?

I believe so, yes. At least in SP, not sure about MP.

For cryo explosions to occur, an enemy must be frozen (not chilled) with Cryo Ammo or Cryo Blast. 

 

NOTE 1: If you can hit an enemy with a detonating power at about the same time an enemy is being frozen (or hit) with Cryo Ammo or Cryo Blast, then a cryo explosion will occur immediately, without needing to wait until the enemy is frozen. (Note that this may be the same reason why you can sometimes detonate an organic enemy with Energy Drain even if that is not supposed to be allowed.)

 

NOTE 2; In multiplayer, Snap Freeze can be detonated on protected enemies -- like Brutes -- which cannot be frozen. I cannot remember is this is a bug or was intended or not.

Don't SP enemies also still have to be killed by the detonator power for an CE?

No, you do not need to kill them with the detonator power for a cryo explosion. I just tried it out in single player.

 

Soldier with max cryo ammo with rank 6 freeze chance, and only level 1 Concussive Shot. Froze a Cerberus Trooper with one shot from the Phalanx, waited until he froze, then hit him with Concussive Shot. Cryo explosion, Trooper still frozen.

I'm getting a lot of cryo explosions with a Novaguard + Talon, and I'm not even trying (as I'm mostly focusing on biotic explosions).

Yep.  And wrt Snap Freeze, it was intended apparently.  Response to everyone complaining about Cryo Blast.  So they gave the players Super Cryo Blast.

Changed for SP (along with FE's) in patch 1.04.
