Neotuck Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I had an idea of using an AETN with a solid medium like diamonds on a conveyor rail to transfer heat from a metal volcano. Ater working in debug mode this is what I came up with First is the AETN setup, a sensor set to below -55C controls the door, main reason for -55C is the liquid medium I use so solidify the metal is petroleum and I don't want it to freeze. The diamonds are set on a loop using 2 bridges and maintain their temp to and from the volcano by insulated tiles At the volcano the diamonds cool the metal tiles under the volcano keeping the petroleum cool in the main chamber, the petroleum is also pumped to the left keeping the loader and sweeper cool. The final cooling is the conveyor for the hot metal travels though the cold metal tiles, it averages at -10C by the time it leaves the build Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94734-using-an-aetn-to-tame-a-metal-volcano/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 You know you can replace the tiles under the AETN now? For example with doors to have direct control over the cooling. And to minimize cost considerably. Also, diamond window tiles are much better at transferring heat energy between the tile and the diamond in the conveyor than metal tiles.

BlueLance Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I assume this build is less of a constant cooling method and more of a rapid cooling build? It cools itself and once it is cool enough it cools the metal tiles etc and so on so forth?

Yes the volcano downtime gives the AETN plenty of time to charge allowing for quick cooling during eruptions Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94734-using-an-aetn-to-tame-a-metal-volcano/#findComment-1076525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Did you do the math and make sure none of the cooling is coming from the overheat reset thing?

Machines will reset gas contained in "their" tiles to their overheat temperatures if the gas is hotter than that. So gas at 150°C will be reset at 125°C on the tiles of a gas pump for exemple. If I understood it well.
