Max temp by liquid tepidizer in new update?

[Ketmol]

Hi.

@Saturnus or anyone else of you all knowing ONI gods

I am at my first playthrough of ONI in occupational upgrade (survival mode) So I have yet not been able to test all changes. I am working on a  setup for cooling oil using aqua-tuners in combination with fixed output temperature from certain machines (not the hard exploit in the borg cube, but a lighter exploit) that I will also use to boil water. However since I think the oil might actually run a bit to cold at times I will route oil past the aqua-tuneres when temperatures gets to low. However when I do that I still want to keep boiling polluted water at the same rate. For that purpose I also made a liquid-tepidizer boiler to route the polluted water through when the aquatuners are turned of.

So...

Now to my real question.

I have got to the point where I am test-running the tepidizer boiler. From reading the forum after the release of the occupation upgrade I got the picture that it was caped at 125 degrees. That is not the case. I had it easily max out at 170 degrees (where I shut it down with a temp regulation to prevent damage) and I did get get steam at 180+ degrees before I put the automate temperature break in resulting in heat damage to the tepidizer. 

So my question is. Using the old naptha, carbon-dioxide and oil covering one of the tiles trick. What is the max temp you can get out of it?

I could try myself but since I play in survival mode it is a hassle to set-up just to try it out. Of course what I am interested in is if you can get enough heat to get steam at 280 degrees + for the steam generator to work without use of magma....

Why no one cares to look in to that is because you will need lot more energy to create the steam, than you would get power from the steam generator.

Did try after the update. Not much testing thought. If you cool down the Tepidizer you will not get the temperatures you want.

@NanoD So what you are saying is that the tepidizer is indeed capped when partly covered by water and only get higher temperatures when it is not. Like in my case where i am only tripping some 1kg water/sec on top of it but it is not fully covered in any single tile? Meaning it will never heat the surrounding air higher than its own temperature.... Or do I misunderstand you?

That was what I did observer.

Using the automation trick or the trick which you said, you can reach its overheated temperature.

For gold amalgam tepidizer, it's 175. For other metal ore, it's 125.

 

Tepidizer can heat itself to hotter than its overheated temperature very very slowly, but the surrounding gas&liquid will not.

Okej. So good for boiling polluted water to clean it. Utter crap for anything that require higher temperatures... 2 bad. Thx for the info @R9MX4 & @NanoD

One thought. It is probably not energy efficient but shouldn't light bulbs be able to heat to super high temperature giving it is a closed area and given enough time. (unfortunately probably takes 1000 cycles.... )

light bulbs

The overheated temperature of light bulbs is 75C (125 if you use gold amalgam), so actually it's impossible.

 

If you don't mind energy efficiency and time, I recommend the abyssalite refrigerator.

I tried that ^^
