TheExceed Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Looking for a quality geyser cooling system. I have been using shiftplates and worts inside a closed box with hydrogen. But for geyser that release steam at 4+kg/s, that's not enough. I am new to how metal tiles work so not sure how to use them properly to conduct heat. As well as how to automate it so that water doesn't freeze. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89722-good-geyser-cooling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have a geyser that erupts with 20 kg/s of steam at 110 C and cooling it fast enough was serious problem. My final solution is a pool of polluted water above the geyser which is filled with polluted water from my slush geyser (1 kg/s at -10 C). There's a pump that removes excess polluted water from that pool and sends it for further processing. The bottom of the pool is made of granite tiles and there are granite walls to the left and right of the geyser. These walls have pipe bridges in it to speed up heat exchange (I did not have material for metal plates when I was building it). One tile next to these walls and the pool bottom is tiled with tempshift plates to speed up heat transfer between steam in these tiles and the wall. The pool is also tiled with tempshift plates to speed up heat exchange within the water and with the wall. During dormant period, the temperature of the pool falls to almost -10 C with the incoming coolant water. During active period, it heats up to almost 40 C. But the important part is that steam from the geyser gets condensed as fast as it expands over the tempshift plates lining the walls so the geyser never goes over pressure and the whole produces water that's at about 70 C. You can check the solution in the save I posted here: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89722-good-geyser-cooling/#findComment-1025472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExceed Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 @kasuha Would using metal tiles and conductive wire bridges from tungsten be better then? I currently use my ph2o vent to feed water to my o2 system and Ng powerplant. As the other water geysers are not enough. I have 2 4.7kg/s geysers. I would use one of them for the o2 system. What would be the best way to cool the ph2o for this be? I would prefer not to use borge cube. Pump it through granite pipes in a hydrogen aetn room?

If your geyser is outputting steam at 4kg/s+ as you say, then you'll never cool it with gas piping alone. A combination of liquid cooling and conveyors is the best option I've found so far in terms of power efficiency.

Sorry, you quoted me and didn't ask anything A circuit of conveyor rails loaded with diamond, granite, anything really - run it through a cooled room, and then through your geyser room. Pair this with some simple liquid cooling and you're good to go.

Pair this with some simple liquid cooling and you're good to go. How cool of a room? and how large should the room be? Just keep it cycling through the geyser room and cooled? My issue is my shipping constantly starts to bug out and stop working and requires a restart. So If I don't catch it. As for liquid cooling, same thing kasuha mention? Cooled ph2o above the geyser?

BlueLance Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Wouldnt you be able to place 1 or two wheezeworths on either side of the room inside highly pressurised Hydrogen, and connect the rooms with metal tiles? I know obviously for a monster of a geyser Like Kasuhas that wouldnt really work though.

PhailRaptor Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 When you say your Geyser is putting out 4 kg/s... is that the adjusted value, or the base value? Because I have yet to witness one with an adjusted value over 2.4 kg/s... Which in my data was already an outlier.
