Tourist McGee Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have a room with Natural Gas, Chlorine and Carbon Dioxide. I'm trying to send the gas to the power plant, but no matter how i set the filters up, they just push the chlorine or the co2 through and block the pipe. I've been messing with this a while and i'm getting really, really annoyed with this system. EDIT: The battery icon is there because the hamster wheels haven't charged the batteries enough to keep the system going. Which wouldn't be an issue if the filters would let the natural gas reach the generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourist McGee Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Since i cannot edit my post again, i'll just put this here. After much Google Fu, i learned that I have to put a vent opening at the end of my pipes which are already open... I didn't realize that an open pipe wouldn't expel the gas without a vent on the end.

Soulwind Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Note that your setup will still back up and fail if the pressure in the room gets too high for the vent. If the pressure in the room is low enough, then no issues; but if it's a medium pressure room you'll probably need the advanced vent; and if it's a REALLY high pressure room, you'll need an infinite gas vent setup.

Or use an overflow system, that pumps excess gas out of the chamber somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourist McGee Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Ah, thanks. Didn't know about that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Also note that there are two types of gas vent: One works up to 2kg of pressure, the other (needs plastic) one up to 20kg of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psusi Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 BTW, filters suck. With two filters and the pump you're going to be using half the power that generator produces right there and it's going to burn through the NG in that room in about a minute or two. Use a gas pipe element sensor and a shutoff valve to route the gas to where it needs to go and you don't need to pay the power cost of the filters.

Or just plain jane mechanical filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
