marcjhune22 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Should I increase the number of batteries in my battery bank? PS outer walls made out of abyssalite, floors are made of granite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpintsman Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Maybe move the ones from the top-left into the confinement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Fox Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Unlike in real life, batteries performance in ONI is not affected by their temperature. They work the same if they're at -100c or 100c. So, as long as they're not over-heating, then it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepler Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I found out that gasses which don't move cause machinery to overheat.. so just build some sort of air ventilation and you'll never see your machinery overheat.. For example I built my battery bank and generators on mesh tiles in a big room and put an algae deoxidiser below them.. non of it ever raise heat even they are built in slime biome which was around 30 C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepler Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 When I take a look at your picture I see you hydrogen temp building up in the top left corner because your hydrogen never gets out of there and just stacks in the top left corner so that's causing it to raise temperature.. a simple sollution is to build a gas permitable at the top left, which is where hydrogen goes, so that it ventilates.. and you'll see that you dont even need wheezeworts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGameDota Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If your actively trying to cool the batteries, you can always make them out of wolframite which allows them to transfer heat away from them. But don't use wolframite if your not going to cool them because wolframite overheats at a lower temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is mesh better than gas-permeable in this case? Is there an advantage to mesh even though liquids aren't in use here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life can you suggest a good battery bank design? probably something that i could build and leave it be without worrying about the temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want my dupes coming there because of the heavy negative decor of those heavy watt wires. 8 hours ago, Donchev said: When I take a look at your picture I see you hydrogen temp building up in the top left corner because your hydrogen never gets out of there and just stacks in the top left corner so that's causing it to raise temperature.. a simple sollution is to build a gas permitable at the top left, which is where hydrogen goes, so that it ventilates.. and you'll see that you dont even need wheezeworts haha, but i want it sealed. and also part of the reason that those sides are hot are because if those batteries on the top left which is current at 40 or so celsius. 22 minutes ago, Pinstar said: Is mesh better than gas-permeable in this case?

Here's mine: full of pressurized hydrogen. Wheezeworts helped so there's almost 5 kg per tile there although I fed it using normal vent from below. Enclosed in abyssalite so don't mind the color of the perimeter wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasuha Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 1 hour ago, marcjhune22 said: how did you get it to that pressure? Originally there was over 2 kg of polluted oxygen all around. I enclosed the bottom with an airlock and lowered the pressure to about 1000 g/tile with a gas pump. Then I placed a gas vent below the bottom wheezewort (it wasn't exactly below it, I didn't even expect what happened then) and just started pumping hydrogen in. Before I noticed, it was full of pressurized hydrogen. I just let last packets of polluted oxygen drop out the bottom and closed it all with abyssalite, then deconstructed the sealed chamber. 1 hour ago, marcjhune22 said: But i want to cram as many batteries in there as possible XD There's 8 batteries per wheezewort and I guess it could handle 8 more (one column on each side). But that's just a guess. This capacity is more than enough for my whole colony, I don't even need that much as I have large overproduction of power.

marcjhune22 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 one more question @Kasuha. in that setup, does that temp ever change? i mean is it stable at -12 degrees celcius? one of my concern is that the wheezewort will eventually get stiffled if the temps would keep dropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be bad if it got stifled at +95 C but that's not going to happen there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
