greggbert Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Subject says it all. Do you put them in an ice biome? Do you put a wheezwort in there? Insulate the room? Do you fill the room with oxygen to push the gas down? Do you let the Natural Gas pressure get high so it will disperse heat better?

Pyrrus Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I put most of my industry near each other in separate rooms and thread cooling pipes carrying ~20C water through them. The natural gas is pumped out and when it reaches a certain pressure.

TheScaryOne Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I leave the oil refinery in the hot biome and pump petro to a cold biome for plastic processing.

Do your guys wear suits when processing oil?

TheScaryOne Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes. I was locking them down there to prevent the silly travel times, but haven't gotten that far in the last couple updates.

MTzu Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is my oil refinement plant I cool this whole system by using the fixed output temperature of the carbon skimmer. The PW cools the polymer presses, which cool their surrounding gases and the created steam. This steam condenses into water, which cools the oil refinery. I've created over 40 tons of plastic with this system and it pretty much stays at 75 °C - 95 °C.

Sasza22 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It seems like the best way to cool buildings is to put a patch of water at their base. This transfers heat faster than radiant pipes behind it. Just don`t do that with the glass forge as the water interacts with the molten glass causing it to break pipes and producing steam.

hpongledd Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The pool on the left is petroleum, kept between -4 and 5degrees, used some tempshift plates for transfering heat better. Mesh tiles cool very slowly but once they are cooled its basically impossible to reach temps above 10degrees in this area.
