Q the Platypus Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The wiki says that the electrolizor releases gas at 70C. However My own experiments and comments on youtube say that it releases it at the same temp as the input water. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It is definitely not the temperature of the input water. You can easily test this by sending fresh Geyser water through Abyssalite pipes to the Electrolyzer. If it used input temperature, your base would heat up super duper fast, because the water fresh from the Geyser, depending on the size and format of your holding tank, will be upwards of 80 C. Probably closer to 95 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi01 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I believe it's always 30°C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It's 70C. If it's fully enclosed and you have 2 air pumps the temperature rises to and caps at 72.2C meaning you do not need to build them of gold amalgam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpsOrandajin Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Definitely 70c. All you have to do is look at an electrolyzer that you just built and is running with temp overlay to see it's actually putting out red/orange-ish pufts of air.

Q the Platypus Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 On my most recent run it looks like the gas is released at the same temp as the electrolizser itself much like NGGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbo Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Lol, its depends from they water temperature, equipament temperature and enviroment temperature. I have been supplying water at 5 ºC and the oxygen its close to 8 ºC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumbo Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 granite, I produce oxygen at a ice biome. I cool the water before I supply it. Just be carefull because you can have some problems with water freezin inside the pipe. hahaha 22 minutes ago, BlueLance said: What are your pipes made out of?

BlueLance Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well there is your first reason, the gas is probably cooling down rapidly after coming ot of the machine, you have 10kg of water at 5 Degrees, Your have however many kg of 5 degrees granite, and you have a cold machine, and you have the walls around the area also most likely that cold. So you have all of that cold mass cooling down a small hot mass of gas. Similar to how you can use walls and wheezeworts to liquifiy and freeze Carbon Dioxide, Chlorine and Crude Oil. You are using a large mass (The walls) to cool a small mass (the gas) Electrolyzers put out gas at a fixed temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been supplying water at 5 ºC and the oxygen its close to 8 ºC It's still 70 I'm afraid, you have to remember the machine itself is made of metal and acts as a massive heat sink, even more so if it's at on airflow tiles, this means if you can keep its temperature down the gas gets produced at 70 but is instantly cooled by the surrounding mass.

Guest Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 If you have a pump for the hydrogen, that too will remove heat. And electrolyzer tend to shut down a lot due overpressuring the immediate area around them. 70 degrees looks like the correct output. But heat diffuses quickly and so you will not notice it. Also, if the water pipes are abyssalite, then I believe it will not emit the heat from the water, unless the electrolyzer uses an internal storage.
