RIP drip cooling :O


Recommended Posts

get your water level up to image.png.087aec068467a286ca457d584e32d959.png
and run the water headed there through atleast 1 aquatuner, and the magic will impress you

a little bit of liquid on top of a larger body of same liquid will convert the temps of the under liquid, not DeltaT the temps, convert them.

if the temp of the upper liquid is colder than the under liquid

New here, whats the purpose of drip cooling and how to implement it?

Search the forum for the "Borg Cube."  Basically you pump water in through an aquatuner that is in the same reservoir and let the water drip back in to your pool.  Heat will be lost in the process and soon you're down to whatever temperature you were shooting for.

The tile that the water drips on must be partially submerged.  If there is too much liquid above the tile, or it doesn't touch the bottom, then the effect doesn't occur.

Water before the violet tile would that be enough?

And what water should be inside it?

 

"Drip cooling" is a misleadingly named bug: the important point is that the cold water occupies the tile above the hot water. I'll demonstrate:

Here we have 1000 Kg of water at 99 degrees celcius in a single tile, with only vacuum above it.

Now, we use debug mode to put a 10 grams of water at 0 degrees celcius in the tile above it. This tiny amount of water water should provide a completely negligible amount of cooling.

 

Instead, the two tiles swap temperature:

And shortly thereafter cool by a substantial amount.

This is what is known as "drip cooling".

There are a hundred posts on the Borg Cube answering exactly the questions you're asking.  Here, I'll even link one directly into this post so you don't have to search.  Its the one you got your image from.
