caffeinated21 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hey folks- Has anyone seen a design capable for greater than 10kg/s? I’m playing on a buried oil map and want to build a 30kg/ monster. in previous builds I’ve found a pipe-based counterflow heat exchanger to be most efficient, but for 30kg/s it’s going to be 6 tiles wide. Trying to think of a more space efficient way to process all dat crude Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/113514-high-volume-10kgs-petrol-boiler-designs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigjw Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This might help you. Using this method makes refining a lot easier, reliable and versatile over dripping your petrol into a heating chamber. You can stack the conversion chambers either horizontally or vertically, with the overflow going into your heat exchangers or however you plan to cool the petrol. You probably would get on better with the pumped version, as counter-flows tend to lend themselves to 10kg/s. I can't see how a counter-flow would be adapted to the added input. The most obvious solution is to use radiant pipes and have big blocks of metal with counter flow piping for the heat exchange. My advice for you, what ever you build, You shouldn't be dripping your petrol into your conversion pools from above, if you are, you are doing it wrong. There is an updated slightly better version that can be found on here, towards the end.

biopon Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I believe this does exactly what you need: Spoiler On a serious note, you're not likely to find anything significantly more compact than what you already have in mind, given that a pipe can only carry 10kg/sec.

Craigjw Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 A nice and compact system for dealing with the igneous. Dripping oil onto the petrol from above though, that's old tech, you're doing wrong.
