ruhrohraggy Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Anyone else fiddle around with this? Seems like there's some potential to be had from it. Some might find it exploit-y I guess...but having a gas tank move things around without power seems interesting. Considering you can get 3x wheezewort seeds per bio cargo (my nearest ice planet is pretty close too) it doesn't seem too terrible to make an upscale industrial passive cooler involving wheezeworts. I came around to maybe doing something with this idea after I installed my battery bank cooler...I noticed I had some net cooling going on, and wanted to extract additional surplus value from the room. So I used a couple spots of tungsten in a radiator to offload some heat and do some light passive cooling here and there. It also seems pretty handy for passive cooling hydrogen in advance of liquid H2. I'm thinking a room like the one below (without batteries in it) with maybe 10-20 extra wheezeworts, could get some real passive cooling done...

simonchvz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It's absolutely a viable option as a primer, especially if you're not looking to make use of the heat. If you have a murder of them just laying around then it's just using space anyway, and there's plenty of that. There aren't a lot of scenarios where it's effective by itself, since most large cooling setups are targeting a lower temp than the wheezes can get to, but as a point of reference ~50 wheezes has the free cooling capacity of 1 aquatuner using water/pwater as a coolant, and a lower min temp threshold. It drags on the OCD of some efficiency freaks though because you could be reclaiming that heat to boil petrol. .:eyetwitch:.

I just put all batteries, generators and transformers inside an "insulated" room and wait till it stabilizes Spoiler I manage the potential hydrogen build up by disabling the power control station, if my first tank of hydrogen is filled Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100615-passive-cooling-with-wheeze-and-gas-storage/#findComment-1132040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
