Do Slime, Morb and Oxylite, when cooled to ~75K, produce liquid oxygen?


Recommended Posts

Slime etc comes out at the temperature of the critter, so it would output slime and oxylite, it would die from the cold before getting cold enough itself. 

Unless you meant can you cool their output, then yes you can.

Slime could be cooled down to 75K though, something worth testing.. I'll get back to you.

You hoping it will off gas Liquid oxygen? It would need to sit on a mesh tile otherwise it would stop offgassing rather quickly.

Exactly.. and I just completed my testing.. the results aaare… * drumroll *

Slime still emits pO2, however, it emits it at it's own temperature, so yes, you get very cold pO2 which then turns into liquid O2.

Slime has a specific heat capacity of 0.200 J/g/K, whereas pO2 has a capacity of 1.010 J/g/K so indeed, if you want to make liquid O2, offgassing slime is an energy efficient way to go about it, however, you still need a way to somehow cool that slime down to those temps before you begin the offgassing process.

For my debug test, I just flooded a room with liquid O2 at 50K, with which I submerged some slime, then once the slime was cold enough, I removed the LOX, and watched what happened. Fresh LOX formed from pO2 that was offgassed and soon(tm) rained down in liquid O2 form.
