riwenna Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Transport tubes drain much more power tho, this is not just low-tech, it's comparably low-power as well The airlock will always transfer heat through the liquid in the lock, unless you insert vacuum somewhere somehow. I'd be interested if anybody can come with anything smaller than what I did, but I think two chained arilocks are as small as it gets.

scaldinghotcarl Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 16 hours ago, cblack said: Yeah, I considered something like that at first. Then I just gave up and put a room within a room, with a vacuum between them, and access to it via a transport tube. It requires more tech than your solution, but it's a lot faster to access. Still, an insulated airlock would be much appreciated, but I suspect someone else has asked for it before me. We've asked for airlocks. And we've asked for insulated doors. The last 'door' they gave us was naptha re-labeled as visco-gel made using rare-resources. It just isn't anything they're interested in doing. Like making a room for a cooking bonus.

Alfons100 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah, you need a crazy amount of fibers for Insulation, and Drecko ranching is a bit thinnicky. And as OP said, Thimblereeds are a quick way to do it but is incredible expensive. Considering that Liquified Oxygen/Hydrogen is so damn sensitive, it is better to just use brute force chilled Radiant Pipes instead of insulated Ceramic which will slowly but safely trade heat with the liquid.

Why would the rocket silo be hot? Vacuum kills the rocket exhaust fast enough that ceramic can handle protecting the liquid oxygen/hydrogen. Only if you create a setup without loops is perfect insulation required.
