TheEvilMango Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm having some difficulty setting up a good aquatuner. What's the best way to set up piping so u don't break pipes and what's a good way to wire it so I'm not blowing wires all over the place Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/101414-aquatuner-set-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuhybrid Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Use conductive wires... They have 2k capacity. I'm assuming you're running water through it? Set a pipe thermo sensor on the pipe right before the aquatuner. Use this to disable the aquatuner, when cooling the next liquid by 14C will cause it to freeze. This number is anywhere from 14-28 but i like to have mine around 20 to be safe. Then use an overflow for the aquatuner entrance, so when it's disabled the liquid can still flow. There's a few different ways to do it but i found this one the most fool-proof; (i added a temp sensor with an AND gate to stop it overheating, but it's never used) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/101414-aquatuner-set-up/#findComment-1139294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilMango Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Should I run it straight from the generators to the aquatuner or should I use a power transformer?

Xuhybrid Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 As soon as you can afford to, i'd have a power bank with transformers going out to all your machines. That way you can use your generators for a lot more machines at once.

TheEvilMango Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Can u post a pick plz? I normally create a Nat gas power plant but I have problems with wires breaking.

You're gonna need transformers and separate grids. Connect the generators to transformers using heavy wire, and automate shutoff switches before the transformer with a smart battery downstream of the transformer. The conductive wire then goes to your aquatuner.

Xuhybrid Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I thought this was about aquatuners though. I have my power produced next to the battery bank and power transformers. Cooling it from below with a wheezewort room. Then we use automation to stop the transformers over-working and generating too much heat.

Glassyfo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Given that he doesn't seem to know about wire load, I thought I'd cover the all bases.
