avc15 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Instead of directly heating with my volcano I want to buffer whatever heat I can in the magma layer before pulling out solid iron. I tried this with a diamond heat pipe but that really doesn't work much at all. I ended up just extracting a whole bunch of heat from the magma layer before giving up on that idea. Now I'm stuck cooling down some 30 tons of diamond over the next 300 cycles! So I figure, just channeling the volcano straight into the magma will be less wasteful and more responsive. But I must admit I don't understand the conditions for the heat deletion bug. In this case I do NOT want to delete heat. Will this setup delete heat? And if so, how do I change things to prevent that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodr Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Doesn't look like it'd hit the heat delete bug, but I'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The heat delete "bug" involves a small drip of cooler fluid onto a block at the top of a large body. IF the fluid entering is hotter than the pool, this effect doesn't occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilalaunekuh Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Can use the heat delettion bug: If my eyes don´t fool me you got 2 layers of molten iron, if the top layer is just a small amount of iron it will cool the whole molten iron. (So depending on the amount of iron it can delete heat, not just convey it around.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avc15 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 the iron only ever becomes 1 tile high before dripping into the magma below. I have gas in the 2nd tile, made it this way on purpose to be serviceable (though many dupes seem to die while doing maintenance on this system :b) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Heat deletion has another name, cold from above, which means heat deletion only be triggered when bottom is hotter and top is colder. If you pour hotter liquid into colder liquid, heat deletion will not happen. And iron volcano is much hotter than magma volcano. Spoiler Heat deletion only happens when the following four requirements are met. 1. vertical interactions between two cells (high 2*width 1) 2. both cells have the same kind of element(gas or liquid) 3. top cell is colder. 4. top cell has same or less mass than bottom.

Lilalaunekuh Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thought the most heat would be lost on the cold gas interacting with a 2 tiles iron column. (iron should be hotter than the magma beneath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(iron should be hotter than the magma beneath) This chamber is designed to purge itself to a vacuum constantly, so that dupe traffic doesn't exhaust heat to the outside. Somewhat wasteful of electricity while building it, but it keeps me from dumping heat all over the place. And it'll pay off later. 8 minutes ago, R9MX4 said: Heat deletion has another name, cold from above, which means heat deletion only be triggered when bottom is hotter and top is colder.

Kabrute Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 you want to drop an abysallite pump into the magma and pull up bottles and drop them like oozinators bottleocookinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dumping the volcano's heat into the magma layer and then hauling the solidified (but still very hot) iron into a heat recovery chamber. While the volcano is running I'll have plenty of heat to pipe into my heat recovery boiler while still allowing the magma to heat up. Then when the volcano goes dormant and I run out of heat to recover from hot iron, only then will I start drawing heat out of the magma. Similar in concept but slightly different motivations.
