caffeinated21 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Seeing an odd phenomena with my natural gas generator setup. I have them setup to drip directly into a polluted water boiler. They are completely insulated elsewhere. And yet they do not heat up beyond 75C. I had planned to get them heated up to ~115 and then cool them with supplementary polluted water. In sandbox testing the generators keep heating up indefinitely. The only thing I can think of is that there is some biome heat effect cooling it (its built in a cold biome), but I didn’t think such a thing existed. Will upload screenshots soon.

Carnis Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 in debug they heat up in *vacuum*, ultimately they overheat. In an atmosphere they communicate with walls, gas, the pipes. In the end, its the pipes you are feeding them with that cool them. Warm the gas and dis-insulate and you can get higher, not easy mind you.

Le0n1des Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 75c is very specific... Like an overheat temperature. Try to remove find anything that overheats at 75c and replace with gold as material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In debug I was still feeding 20c natural gas and it didn’t make a difference. to the 75c overheat, nothing is overheating ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The environment in the room resets to 75 to avoid overheating. There was a thread about a cooler utilizing this exploit/mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinated21 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Odd- never heard of such thing. I’ll check to see everything is gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You probably produce a lot of gas in refineries. Refinery output is 75C. The gas in generator has a rather large thermal mass and can easily heat up/cool down the generator it is contained in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy that it’s the gas stored in the generator, as debug tests with 20C NG still heat up above 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gas on The tank does not heat NOR cool. But The pipes that bring The gas do. Hmm edited* nvm, your debug Will have polluted oxygen atmo.
