Mikeyhun Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hey all! I would like to ask for a little help for my polymer "factory". I have some weird heat transfer issues that i can't explain so i hope someone with better knowledge can help me out whats the problem with my system. As you can see i have 2 presses next to each other. Now if both are operating the left one stays around ~25C but the right one overheats. If i disable the right one the left one goes up to 45C but stable. The cooling is circulated oil that enter the room around -10C and leaves +5C. All pipes that are not cooling is made out of abyss. Its like the right one is soaking up heat from the left one and cant cool down but i really don't understand it so any help would be appreciated. I tried restricting the cooling flow to lower volume but nothing changes.

Neotuck Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Drop a little bit of oil on the tile to the right of the press. This should function as a heat sink between the pipe and press Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92496-weird-heat-transfer-with-polymer-press/#findComment-1054686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoma_Nosme Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Did you build them both from the same material? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92496-weird-heat-transfer-with-polymer-press/#findComment-1054688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilalaunekuh Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just a small tip: Don´t build a polymer press out of gold amalgam. (The higher overheat temperature seems tempting, but you only want something with higer overheat temperature to keep the press running for a longer amount of time. So why not take iron ore to maximize the capacity and raise the conductivity.)

Mikeyhun Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thank you for all the help! @Lilalaunekuh the good ol iron did the trick! The right one now works at stable 25C. I thought gold was better for transferring heat but guess i was wrong (should have payed more attention on physics class Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92496-weird-heat-transfer-with-polymer-press/#findComment-1054723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents The left press has a drop of liquid (water?) on it. The right one doesn't seem to have any. Most liquids are way better at heat transfer than gases. A single "drop" of water can easily have heat sink - and heat dissipation - capability of 50 tiles of oxygen.

That's why I suggested he put a little oil on the other one Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92496-weird-heat-transfer-with-polymer-press/#findComment-1054780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
