Madejusz Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi, I try to maintain temperature for my farm using new Gas Pipe Thermo Sensors. The idea is to check gases temperature inside pipes and sent it to Thermo Regulator or not based on temperature. Whatever I did - gas will be sent to 1st or 2nd vent. Any suggestion? This is my setup: Gas Pipe Thermo Sensor is active when Temperature is Above 5 C Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Best Regards, Madejusz Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90504-problem-with-gas-pipe-thermo-sensor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
blash365 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Are you certain that the logic is hooked up in the right way. I am not sure what a positive input for a shutoff does, but i assume it triggers a lockdown. So in your case temperatures above 5°C would be sent through the left shutoff, while temperatures below would be sent through the bottom shutoff.

Madejusz Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Logic is OK... anyway - I just want setup gas/liquid filter base on temperature. Any suggestion how to do so?

Just hook the shutoff directly to the sensor, that way if the temperature is right it will activate the shutoff letting pass the gas at the right temperature, if not, will be redirected. I struggled with it for a few before figuring it out. I managed to separe oxygen from a pocket of many gases using just 1 shutoff valve and one sensor. If the sensor detect oxygen it passes through the valve, conected directely, no NOT gate. It renders gas filters completely useless since I can now separate gases with less power.

wachunga Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The problem is you are splitting your piping at the sensor. Packets will alternate going to either shutoff regardless of whether or not the shutoff is open because the piping at each input is always a valid place to go(unless full). The shutoffs simply transfer packets from their input pipe to their output pipe when enabled by automation. You want a single line of piping with no branches that you pull packets out of with the shutoffs. Pipe branches often behave poorly and avoiding them is a good habit to have, bridge into and out of pipes instead. Try getting rid of everything on red and adding just pipes on green. There will be problems if the left vent backs up, unlikely in your case.

vovik Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If you want to separate some liquid at rate 1-999 gramms with full uptime id suggest using mechanical filter. You can prob find mechanical filter in iscussions, im being lazy.

alown Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I made the system that you ask for, but i cant say it's efficient. Any power failure, and you let packet slip in one or another pipe... The automation is only one wire from thermo to shutoff set to above 100°.

onebit Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 in my experience the 2 shutoff approach leaks packets, because whenever there's a block the packets queue at the wrong shutoff valve. the problem here is the T junction is before the 1st shutoff, so there is no flow decision. its just 50/50 flow. the T needs to be ON the 1st shutoff.. to make it work better move the top shutoff down 1 tile and connect its input after the pipe has passed through the bottom input. if there won't be backups the 2nd shutoff isnt necessary. if there are backups a packet will leak, Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90504-problem-with-gas-pipe-thermo-sensor/#findComment-1032976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
