Hydra in industrial brick?

[Recer75]

I built a Hydra in my Industrial Brick, but I just remembered something about heat deletion when it comes to Electrolysers. Will my Hydra delete the heat from my industrial machines? That would of course be bad for power production, and I need to do something about it if that’s the case.

I was hoping to capture the heat from the process, but now I'm starting to think that it will cool down the environment, even with 95°C water feeding it.

P.S. I modified the Hydra that BierTier – the German Engineer – showcased in his "SPOM vs. HYDRA: A German Engineer Explains ONI" video, around the 19:00-minute mark.

I try to avoid transformers at all costs in my base—only where it's absolutely necessary do I use them. I also love symmetry.

Combined heat energy of hydrogen and oxygen is lower than water ones at the same temperature. So yes, your hydra deletes much heat. But thats not a big problem when 10 lyzers power available

It's true electrolyzers don't preserve their thermal mass, but it's not an important point. You can't harvest power from heat unless it exceeds 125C, and that tends to be tough when water is involved

[Recer75]

So how do the Heat deletion thing work exactly?

[Prince Mandor]

Industrial brick produce power from heat only if everything heated above 125C (105C at least with some tricks). But here we have water at ~95C and oxygen+hydrogen at same temperature, so it cannot produce energy. But may be used as small passive cooling, destroying heat on water-to-sum-of-gases conversion

[cyberwarlord]

Ultimately not worth heating the water, will only waste the energy in conversion too H O . 

Now with that in mind. You can feed the oxygen into a cooling loop and feed the hydrogen into the steel hydrogen engine hot and capture that little extra. You don't gain energy but will reduce its loss to a bare minimum.

Industial bricks ain't "good". As Asurendra said, the shc of the products is lower than the input.

You also waste a lot of heat when heating the products of your industrial brick.

You can also say "who cares?" because you have enough power to.. Power through it.
