BionicSandwich Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I decided to do something weird I used hot steam to cool hydrogen down, I think it was cool. Funny thing is, it worked pretty well I think I made this as a way of rebelling against the "hydrogen is best for cooling mindset". Not saying it isn't, but I'm saying it is not the only option for effective cooling.

Neotuck Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 won't work for long, eventually the steam will condense and stop the nullifier from working Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90341-i-had-an-idea-for-cooling/#findComment-1031203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just now, Neotuck said: won't work for long, eventually the steam will condense and stop the nullifier from working That would depend on thermal input from the ThermoRegulators, would it not? The AETN will "consume" heat at a fixed rate. As long as the heat displaced by the ThermoRegulators is, on average, equal to or greater than that rate it shouldn't be an issue.

BionicSandwich Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 It works as long as I can keep the thermo regulators producing more heat than the aetn can delete, and then manage that from there with automation.

blash365 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 What is the benefit of using steam over hydrogen? Hydrogen has an reliable state (pipes wont break) and no(t many) other uses. It also exists as hydrogen in the environment. Steam is not as easy to come by. You need to take care of its temperature and there might be better things to do with it than using it as cooling medium.

BionicSandwich Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I mean, I chose it because it's specific heat capacity is about double hydrogen, and because I could put it in a state I could interact with it with machinery. I made it mostly because I thought it was funny that I could cool something using scalding hot steam.

KittenIsAGeek Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If only the thermo aquatuner or the thermo regulator would work at 300 to 500c instead of melting. Then we could use something like that to run a steam generator.. that would be nice. Hint hint, Klei...
