My oil to natural gas boiler design

The oil is the coolant.

I'll go to 2kg/s and wait another 20 cycles, I'll post before and after thermal pics

Add 3 gas pumps too, so your test is mass neutral.

Regardless, the design adds 1megajoule/second from turning 2kg oil to gas, + whatever is taken from The magma. My maths says you cant run it without pumping out 176degrees hot gas or using some (outside) cooling.

I already started the test and am 10 cycles in already

I plan to build another where I widen the drip chamber so the gas has more than 1 tile space to move.  I'll add 3 gas pumps to that one

I could only run 15 cycles as I need to get to work

here it is at cycle 25

Mass deletion, by dripping oil deleting gas packets.

If you want to test that, pump on a fixed amount and see what remains. The physics should be adding massive heat by cycle 40 otherwise.

The drip cooling bug was patched a few weeks ago.  That's why people don't use the "Borg cube" any more
