Sigma Cypher Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I got a little excited when I saw the polluted oxygen vent outputs gas at 500C and thought maybe it could drive a steam turbine with @nakomaru's EZ bead pump. Like this. It's still dormant for another 20 cycles or so, so I can't tell you if it works. Is there a better way to do this? The top sensor opens the door if the steam gets above 200C and the bottom sensor activates the top EZ bead pumps once the PO2 falls below 220C. EDIT: the geyser outputs about 75 kDTU when active and the turbine can suck up 877 kDTU so ... yeah nvm. I guess it's a good heat sink for Puft farms at least.

OxCD Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Why don't you let the turbine running free from 125°C ?Then you can also suck up heat from 220° to those 125°. Giving 220° to your puft will burn them and you'll have a loss of earnings on this heat. PO² going out at 125°, then you'll only have to cool 20° (a bit more, puft can survive until 105°) for them. Lastly, using an AT into the steam chamber could make the turbine potential more useful (as you said, the heat from the PO² vent will not be really important), and using it, for example, to cool the PO² for your puft... ?

bobucles Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Anything above 125C can be cooled down with a steam turbine. Oxygen has a very low heat capacity, and gas vents have much less output than solid or liquid geysers. You'll be lucky to get more than 20W out of it, so don't worry about a fancy setup.

Miravlix Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 You are basically trying to use a fairly hot pin head to heat a stadium. You fingers might melt if you pick up the pin, but the stadium is not going to care.
