Tobruk Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 At least you're getting cold liquid too to use elsewhere. What's the point? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118432-why-use-the-tepidiser-if-you-have-the-aquatuner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edoc_ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 On the Rime if you want some water for your crops you need to keep it in liquid state. I switched to refinery to get warm enough water as soon as I could tho. I used it there early game but never before or since.

Nxf7 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Over 8 times more energy efficient. If you want to be most optimal, use an AT until your cooling needs are met, then if you still need heat and it's under 85c then use a tepidiser.

EterniaLogic Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 You can hook it up with a Buffer and a NOT gate to make it run 1 second at a time at high efficiency, enabling for temperatures beyond specification. Good for improving efficiencies in a steam turbine boiler room or making rocket fuel. (The amount of energy it puts in is not net positive, so it is only good at keeping the room at-temperature while your Aquatuners add to it) Just make sure that you are making it out of at least steel or it will break running past 100 Celcius.

The steam turbine turns about 1 kDTU into 1 watt, and the tepidizer turns 1 watt into about 4 kDTU.

You're getting some of that power back (something like 20-30%). You're not really moving heat than just deleting it.

I tend to keep them completely separate in my head as they have independent uses for me.
