AETN cooling question.

[Mordaem]

I've been playing ONI for a while, but I have never used an AETN. I recently started a max difficulty run on the radioactive asteroid so I have no access to plastic to help cool hot geysers. However, on the flipped asteroid that it's connected to I have a AETN fairly close to a cool steam vent.

 

My question is can a AETN provide enough cooling to make the water from the cool steam geyser usable or would I need more?

 

I do have 2 other AETNs on the flipped asteroid as well, but they are on the opposite side of the planetoid.

AETN delete 80 kDTU/s heat. Water need 4.179 DTU/g/degree.

When cooling from 110 to 95: 80000/15/4.179~1276 g/sec.

When cooling from 110 to 25: 80000/85/4.179~225 g/sec.

Thanks for the reply. That actually helps quite a bit. I still haven't uncorked the vent so I haven't analyzed it to see what it's output is, but this information will definitely come in handy with regards to how I make the water usable when I do.

Cooling water is usually unnecessary. For O2 production its better to cool O2 as its much faster. Plants also can consume hot water without any problem. They care only about gas they are sitting on
