Vacuum door pump


Recommended Posts

At first glance its nothing special....

But thats the off state.... its resting.

When pressure is high enough to trigger the sensor, the first door will open, the pump will run.

If pressure falls too low system will cycle through before locking down then opening the vacuum.

cant imagine why they nerfed it the last update...

Not much of a nerf, doors are just a bit slower now when not powered, wouldn't this still work with slight modification? I wouldn't want to get rid of the only way to move high volumes of gas.

Maybe because it was a glitch? :)

maybe... maybe...

I'm pretty sure they still work the exact same way, they're just slower and less effective unless you power them, of which you only need 120W for each actively moving door, so in my shot above that's only 1KW of doors.

I don't use this system anymore though anyway with the advent of metal pipes, it's just simpler to use a condenser system akin to IRL steam generation (heat > turbine > condenser > repeat).

it does what you say technically but your using a buffer to control the reset and there is no permanent shutdown state with your system, its always running, just with different intervals you set.  Mine is enviromentally driven, hands free. 

If the atmospheric switch turns on, it holds the pulse clock, and stops the system in the rest state with a vacuum in the middle.

The one you looked at is probably just never switching off because it always has enough gas to be pumping out.

again with my not understanding, off is on and on is off, ok cool.

I was fiddling with the switch and couldn't get it to rest (mainly because I was trying to achieve the off state and was already there.....

they are similar though mine has a larger potential throughput(more vacuum) as I have a pump inside the pump as it were. This inner pump being segmented out makes the system scalable.  Also mine has dependent feedback regulators to guarantee everything is working as it should.  Your setup is simple, and brilliant, perfect
