Joe Dee Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I have some gold coming from a volcano with a self-cooled steam turbine, and going to the final cooling chamber with aquatuner. It's moving through a vacuum where the temperature remains stable at 98.9 C, however as soon as the belt moves across some natural tiles the gold starts cooling down, and even keeps cooling down a little more through insulated tiles. I thought conveyors in a vacuum preserve temperature and within insulated tiles there should be almost no heat exchange either, right? So why is it cooling down?

pether Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 IIRC, items on conveyor rail exchange temperature with solid tiles below the same way as their conents lied on the ground. Dig tiles below to see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda surprising, you do learn something new every day. And so to move hot items on belts through tiles, not only do the belts have to be in an insulated tile, the tile below it needs to be insulated as well... I'm gonna have to review all my belts now!

gabberworld Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 when you not want lose temperature then you need use full vacuum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately in all other places the only tiles below were abyssalite, so that was alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
