Self cooling O2 generator

[Albreo]

I have been looking into other people's O2 generator and came up with my own. Also came with smallest possible borg module.

Self sufficient and automatically ejects excess H2. Main hydrogen generator will never lack H2 with this method of ejection. Borg module can cut Itself off from  main circuit to prevent overload which will not disrupt O2 production. At full load, it can archive 1 full air duct constantly at constant temperature, 600 Kg/cycle.

Borg efficiency control 

This automation circuit controls amount of water pump into thermo regulator and wait for new temperature to set in before repeat. In this way, I will be able to pump in colder water to cool it further. This 2 s. setting will reduce temperature by roughly 1 degree every loop which resulted in finer control over borg cube and effectively reduce power consumption.

Once water was pumped, the cube will detach itself from main circuit and consume power from battery instead to prevent overload. (better and messier control can be done)

You're not setting the metal tile up correctly. Place it one tile lower in the water and watch the magic unfold.

i call it the Mushroom Oxydizer, i thought of utilizing thermo regulator + wheez + hydrogen, im at 2000+kg of oxygen, i even opened up my base and nearby biome are flooded with oxygens now except the bottom part, temp is at -10 to 20c, sometimes -50c if electrolyzer is disabled, airflow tile on the side was supposedly to fix max pressure but apparently too cold of oxygen is being released yet it works as intended

[Kasuha]

Electrolyzer is self-cooling on its own. Even if you feed it with 95 C water straight from geyser and keep it in abyssalite chamber, it cools itself with its own output and it never exceeds 75 C.

Spoiler

When it's about cooling the resulting oxygen, my preferred solution is this:

Three worts are fine for my 8 duplicants (the upper door opens every once in a while if the gas gets too cold) but may not be if you use full 1kg/s capacity or perhaps even more. This setup can keep the air safely within 10 C range even if the usage varies over time. And part of the air for the base goes through the door, pumps are for the most part to keep exosuit stations full.

Alright, I have retest it  and it actually work better but still require a very specific placement.

I think you should use metal door vacuum set up, by surrounding metal door with tile all around, when it open, it will have vacuum inside and no heat can pass through. I have seen people used it lately.

That door is not a duplicant entry. It's there to let some oxygen out when outside pressure is below 2 kg/tile.

I have tried it. It's pretty much slower and required specific placement. I used it to cool steam geyser before and it doesn't work well. Unless I still put it wrongly, Temp was going down slowly 1 degree in 10 sec then I change it my way which is way more effective.

This pic show only a few drip, like maybe 30 sec worth, and it already decimate 75 degree water.

Yes then you're doing it incorrectly. The mesh tile method is kinda ok but very slow compared to a properly set up Borg Cube.

Err no, I mean something like this, not the exit door. This way you can keep temp at constant.

He's using another method as you can see. Using the doors to temperature control the mix between the cooled and the hot oxygen instead.

Oh, okay, I understand now. Yeah that sure works too but I don't think my setup is any worse.

I have now redone it and it's a tad bit better in my small cube but construct it with dupe will be very hard since it requires a vacuum in one small tile when enclose the top. Maybe I can drain some off to create vacuum.

Now that I think about it, is this bug cause by vacuum? Hmm.

[Saturnus]

Here's how you build the Borg Cube and make those vacuums. My original design is used by so many people because it is so easy to build.

First build it up with all connections, power line etc etc

Fill it up with 8½ to 9 tiles of the liquid you're using the filler liquid vent on the left. Using water that's 8500kg to 9000kg.

Run it for an instant using the thermo sensor to switch it on and off very fast to form the liquid lock at the top

Corner build in a tile in each corner

Deconstruct them again. And run it briefly again.

And you're done. Borg Cube complete with vacuum corners. Very easy.

[Albreo]

Oh yeah, that work too. Mine has now evolved into a borg laser beam.

What are the sensor settings?
I want to build this cube in my base because I need both cooled air and cooled water. 
Is everything built with abyssalite/gold amalgam?

That would depend on what liquid you're using - it's just to shut the aqua tuner down, so ~14 degrees Celsius before liquid freezing temperature is your lowest possible setting. Hence why most people use Oil as their coolant.

Drip cooling is gone, so not viable it seems

This thread was written quite some time before the fixed drip cooling.

[crypticorb]

Let the thread die folks. Drip cooling is gone, so let it go to archives.
