Pinstar Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 So I'm tinkering with setting up a drip cooling system with cold clean water as the liquid of choice. Not wanting to overtax my water supply (or rather: my cold water supply) I will probably employ a valve to limit the water flow. Anyone have suggestions for a good setting? Allowing enough water to cool but not more than is needed?

Coolthulhu Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If you're cooling gold amalgam machines in abyssalite casing, you can use even geyser water (as long as it is not steam). But it's better to use polluted water - it absorbs more heat and you can easily get cool polluted water from slime distillers and air scrubbers. As for numbers: that depends on water temperature, heat of the machines, isolation and so on. But try low numbers first (20g/s of 50C water can absorb 4kW of heat - enough to cool a natural gas generator) and only increase after it starts to heat up too much.
