ProfMembrane Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Basically, is the cold biome only cold because it starts that way, or does it naturally stay at a cold temperature? Basically, can you saturate a cold biome if you radiate enough heat into it, or is it's ability to absorb heat self-replenishing?

ButterStuffed Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It’s cold because it starts cold. Besides the Weezewort it doesn’t have any innate cooling characteristics.

ProfMembrane Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 So then the only thing that continuously works as a heat sink is the wheezewort?

As explained in the other thread, you can use the AETNs to delete heat.

Carnis Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 ..and fixed output machines. If you insert 99C water into electrolyzer you get 70C Oxygen which has lower specific heat & lower absolute temp. If you Feed 120C polluted water into sieve you get 40C water reducing heat massively.

Sasza22 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It`s entirely possible to melt an ice biome. I`ve done it before. Simple pumping 40oC+ water through radiant pipes will melt a small ice biome over 50 cycles. Just need to diperse the heat throughout the biome. It will grant you quite a bit extra water as well.

It granst you twice as much water if i rem right, since you get a full tiles worth from a melted tile versus a dug tile right?

Wait, so if I pump the incredibly hot geyser water into a sieve, it automatically cools to 40c? Cause that's way, way more than an aquatuner, and cheaper too.

If you pump in clean water it comes out at the exact same temperature it entered at.

Soulwind Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 You can however run hot clean water through a carbon skimmer, changing it into 40C polluted water. Then heat that polluted water to cool other stuff. Then run hot polluted water through the sieve and get 40C clean water back. More involved but does a lot of heat removal.
