beowulf2010 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 For those of you that use the flood the volcano chamber with 2 tile deep fluid cooling method, do you find it more useful to use water or petroleum? I see advantages to both. Water (with polluted water aquatuner coolant) has a significantly higher heat capacity but petroleum (with petroleum coolant) has a much lower freeze point. Water based systems will cool off faster, but petroleum will get close to 50 degrees colder through dormancy. Also, outside of the thermal conductivity numbers of the materials, is there any other difference between metal tiles (60 max thermal conductivity ignoring thermium) versus diamond window tiles (80 thermal conductivity) when it comes to transferring heat energy to/from pipes/converoy rails/surface fliuds/debris?
