Deadpan110 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Experienced players know that Volcano taming means using mechanized airlocks to allow heat to pass when closed and when they are open, the vacuum created stops heat from passing. Not just used with volcano taming, this method of stopping and starting heat transfer has been a big part of game mechanics. Is anyone else experiencing this? *Screenshot shows the setup: Rodriguez SPOM with an Aluminum heatsink to cool the O2 The mechanized airlocks contain a vacuum No O2 is currently passing through the heatsink (and warming it up) The aquatuner contains crude oil and the whole system started at 32C The heatsink is getting hotter and is now at 50C *Note, I usually have the mechanized airlock doors like this so I can cool down the steam if ever I need to get access to the steam room. TL;DR Do open mechanized airlocks containing vacuum now allow heat to pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathmanican Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Your liquid bridges are allowing heat to pass. They are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpan110 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 OK - I will try it - I certainly hope it is a PEBKAC error on my behalf. I always considered bridges as gas and liquid teleporters but I also made them out of ceramic. Thank you for the help, if the bridges are not the problem - I will reply again Edit: Yes, the bridges caused it... I don't usually put them like that - but it looked nice and symmetrical. Thank you!

Steve8 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 They also teleport heat I think the bridge part in the middle doesn't conduct. But the endpoints do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRup Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 8 hours ago, Steve8 said: think the bridge part in the middle doesn't conduct. Do consider any bridges as 1x3 buildings. Then you'll see why they conduct heat all across. They just don't receive heat from the liquid they're teleporting. (Or maybe don't consider them to be exactly like buildings but something more along the lines of automation structures: they are in the background and their whole structure does conduct temperature...)
