AmadeusTrill Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hey all, My base is getting hot so I'm trying to get a cooling loop set up, if I babysit it I can get it to kind of work but it won't work unattended. Doing some testing in sandbox mode. I have an aquatuner in some oil being fed from a liquid pump. The liquid pipe thermal sensor settings are for 25c which is connected to a liquid shutoff, but the loop locks up before it can get to the target temperature. Any tips?

Nitroturtle Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm not really sure how to help, because I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish. I will however point out that you have some issues with your pipe flow in that screenshot. You need to add some bridges to help direct flow properly. What is the purpose of the output from the cooling loop? What exactly are you trying to do? If you explain that I can try to help further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xFADE Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 You've got to understand bridge mechanics. You need a bridge from your source to the loop(instead of connecting the source directly) to stop it from seizing up. With the bridge it will only add liquid if there is an empty spot.

Xuhybrid Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 New liquid going into the loop needs to have lower priority. This means having a bridge onto the loop to fill gaps after liquid leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
