felix920506 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I want pumps and heaters that can operate at extreme temperatures like 1000C so that I can refine oil without having a duplicant spinning a stupid wheel or pump Magma and molten metal from one place to another Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94479-high-temperature-pumps-heaters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 We need some sort of management methods for superhot stuff. I suggested a special pump before that would have an intake a few tiles away from the pump itself so it doesn`t have to be submerged to be effective and won`t overheat beacause of that (also made of refined metal).

DiamondEmerald Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Agreed. Also there should be some way of hardening magma without tinkering with temperature. Like a rock hardeinator (obviously lategame, probably requiring coolant like the metal refinery and obviously consuming lotsa power). It would stop the need for constant digging errands.

ImpalerWrG Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Metals like Tungsten should actually make this possible, but metal melting temperatures make no sense right now.

I'd say the recipe for high temperature liquid pumps should be ceramic+refined metal; as of now the record for high temperature pumping sits at nearly 1500 K using ceramic pumps. I'd also like a specialized valves to allow for phase changes (these also exist in real life) between liquid and gas without damage to pipes, with one (expansion) valve accepting liquid above its boiling point, and the other (compression) valve accepting gas below its dew point. You could have it so phase changes in the input pipe and adjacent attached pipes are blocked for a number of ticks to allow you to run these off of a thermo-regulator while still causing pipes to sustain damage if the system gets backed up. To make them more reliable the valves could be given a secondary output for fluids that weren't at phase change thresholds.
