S-Dedalus Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 It only processes 3 kg of crude oil per second, though its appearance is reminiscent of a horned demon mixed with the Moloch-mashine from Metropolis or a schematic drawing of the female reproductive apparatus, but with more plumming.

thegroundbelow Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I mean, that looks amazing, but personally I wouldn't invest that much space in a boiler than only handles 3kg/sec. I have a design that's half that size (except for the very long 3-tile-wide counter-cooling/bead pump drop) and does over double the throughput Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/133691-alternative-design-for-a-low-volume-sour-gas-boiler/#findComment-1502407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occam Blazer Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I like this 2kg/sec boiler. It can be built with only supercoolant if you have a heat source and a little longer stretch of gold radiant pipes.

I've been messing around with some ideas confirmed and also gleaned from this setup (testing 4 kg/s atm, not sure if that's "low volume" anymore). Brine ice is lovely for heat exchanges: TC actually rises from 0.609 (liquid) to 2.18 (ice) with no change in SHC (3.4). Two thumbs up there. Water has the same TC dynamic as brine in both states, but sadly enough SHC drops from 4.179 (liquid) to 2.05 (ice). Here comes my first change: plain water goes for the tepidizer area on account of that. ( I guess some maths could rebuke my crazyness as brine does go up to 1200 kg/tile vs. water's 1000 kg/tile...) I didn't jump into building this exact arrangement from the get go (worry not, it won't be called jboiler ) and was thusly surprised time and again about the heat multiplication one gets when flashing crude into sour gas - wow. TL;DR: Good design, very compact. Power consumption may be a bit on the higher side on account of size. Can't elaborate more without direct testing for a while...

I've tested the tepidizer chamber with 401 kg per tile of Liquid Phosphorus and the tepidizer runs the same amount. Ideally on a survival playthrough you could use a water tank or something to dump the chill into and possibly do away with the tepidizer altogether. We can also make the top aquatuner never run by running a conveyor loop of igneous rock through the tepidizer chamber and up through the turbines pool and using metal 4 metal tiles left and right of the turbine. 3 hours ago, JRup said: I didn't jump into building this exact arrangement from the get go (worry not, it won't be called jboiler ) and was thusly surprised time and again about the heat multiplication one gets when flashing crude into sour gas - wow.

I've used it before with a chlorine condenser/freezer, a salt water "briner" and "cold batteries" for AETNs. The only way you don't get to use it is because you can't freeze it on account of the use case (or can't access brine altogether, sadly). 1 hour ago, tuxii said: I have far too many hours in sour gas boiler testing. The jBoiler is... kind of my Magnum Opus. And it shows! I was looking into cobbling together something similar from scratch, adding some, removing some and so on... Many changes mean many fun "results" Since the addition of the conveyor meter we now get a way to actually use up the chill stored in the sulfur (1kg packs are great!) and I'm shoehorning that into the build. Still on the fence whether to settle with a 30ºC average output or go further and melt it for more "cooling"...

JRup Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is what the test sandbox map looks like at the moment... Let's just consider it in a state of flux, and an insight into the creation process of yours truly... I will be abandoning the idea of liquefying sulfur though... Hot plastics, dunno why but I just wanted to find out how hot can the press go before it all turns to naphta - the steam turbine only acts as a vacuum to keep the steam at around 2kg per tile: 1 minute ago, tuxii said: I was actually considering glossy dreckos to source the plastic for a plastic-to-methane setup. Glossy dreckos could be brought to any asteroid and then they could literally be sheared for power. Dreckos, yeah, definitely better! The siren's call of the press did hypnotize me for a while. And here are some mad scientist dealings with a sourgas boiler, this drives 4 kg/s of crude oil mostly stably. More observation and prodding with a stick is needed.

tuxii Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I like where you're going with this. You are using the excess heat created from the oil>sour gas conversion to do something other than run a turbine which is neat.

Solid to liquid thermal conductivity is governed by the geometric mean of the two materials' TC. Even though frozen booze gives you a 10x advantage over brine ice I bet you're right that it doesn't make that much of a difference. It does match colors a little better though.
