Another Oil Boiler without Volcanos (Mk I)

[BlueLance]

Ok so lemme get this straight then, If I wanted to draw heat from my heat source I want to use something with a high conductivity (Hydrogen), and if I want to contain the heat near in the heat source I want to use something with a low conductivity (Chlorine...pretty sure it has a low conductivity)? 

Also lets use an aquatuner as an example, I want to use a liquid with a high capacity as it can absorb more heat from the aquatuner whilst heating up less itself? I assume the liquid inside would also be best to be one with high capacity so that it can cool the area you want cooled whilst absorbing as little of the heat as possible?

@BlueLance For Aquatuners yes, you want to submerge them in a liquid, both to absorb temperature fluctuations and to conduct heat away better than gas. But because liquid tiles can hold so much more mass than gases, it doesn't have to be that much, for example a layer of 50 kg of crude oil and 50 kg of petroleum on top is enough in my Singularity Mk 3 to build up heat to 155 C without damage to the aquatuner. Adding more would just make it react slower when more heat is needed in the polluted water cleaner.

For sending liquids/gases through aquatuners/thermoregulators in pipes it is different, heat capacity is everything there. Because each packet gets cooled by a flat 14 C, the heat capacity determines how much cooling work was done (in Joules). So the highest heat capacity there gets the most cooling done for the same amount of power.
