Oil Leaky fissure : mini crude oil boiler (no space material)


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've a few oil leaky fissures on my asteroid (Terra) so I've decided to create a new build. As far as know, players approach this geyser by thinking only of protecting their pump from the 300°C of the oil which spurts out.

But the problem the only continuous use of crude oil is only the oil refinery that only have a 50% ratio (natural gas is use to sustain electrically the refinery).

And even you cool the crude oil and cook it with magma, it's a lot of loss of heat (you delete 300°C to pump it, then you add 300°C).

Since there're already setups with crude oil cooling :

 

Here's my new setup without space material :

- The left door close the fissure to don't overflow my crude oil boiler as my heat source (the metal refinery) doesn't provide a permanent heat flow. But when you have the thermal equilibrium, you will not have to use it frequently, and the door stay open almost all the time.

- The right door is to don't overheat my pump by giving the time to my AT/turbine to cool enough the petroleum.

- I use a liquid shutoff to expose more as possible my refinery coolant (petroleum) to the boiler zone. As well, no sour gas risk in the refinery, and a maximum of heat exchange.

*I've change the thermo sensor temperature, it's not 95°C, it's "above 150°C".

Here's my capture for my construction without devmode :

IMPORTANT NOTE : all the room is in a vacuum. The liquid shutoff never be in contact with crude oil. In this place, there's no contact since the bottom pool don't overflow that will never come.

I've update the setup, and resolve the overheat of the turbine.

The AT only cool the turbine and the refinery. Petroleum is cool by the diamond tile connect to the steam room. It works perfectly now, and I have a constant flow.

Yes, I use a skin mod for the reservoir, the actual skin is ugly. :P

No counterflow?

Crude oil goes out at 326,9°C so it's not necessary to do a counter flow like the classic crude oil boiler which come at 95°C.

It's use a small amount of heat.
