WhatTheDuck Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi Community, i build a electrolyzer with a passive wheezeworth cooling setup yesterday. But the cooling wasnt enough, so i tried to calculate it. Is the following correct? I have 8 dupes -> 800g/s Oxygen and i get 70° Water from the electrolyzer and i try to cool it below 30° -> delta 40° 1.01 (DTU/g)/°C * 800g * 40°C * = 32k DTU Acording to the wiki is the max cooling power of 1 wheezeworth 12kw (=12k DTU?)https://oxygennotincluded.gamepedia.com/Wheezewort This mean i need 3 wheezeworth in 5kg per tile hdydrogen to cool my electrolyzer setup with 800g/s throughput. Something wrong with my calculation? Greetings from germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djoums Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Seems correct to me. 1DTU = 1 joule, 12kDTU/s = 12kW. Wheezeworts process 1kg/s of H2 to reach 12kW of cooling so 2kg/tile are generally enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzionut Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 In my experience i plant 4 whit radiant gas pipe and the cooling is enough even for my oxygen supply of the exosuit stations. It depends by the flow...and the quantity of the hydrogen...always above 1k/ tile. I will post a picture of my oxigen production when I am at home.

Saturnus Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Moin. Your calculation is correct. Note however that there are many other ways to build an effective cooler. With a slush geyser output in a counter-current metal tile (or doors) heat exhanger for example you only need 200g/s flow rate for the same cooling. Also note, you only need to cool what is actually pumped into the base. Oxygen for exosuits do not need to be cooled. That's why I generally prefer to have oxygen production without integrated cooling as it limits my choices later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Quote Oxygen for exosuits do not need to be cooled. Yes indeed but it will cool the exosuit station and the gas pipe from the cooling chamber to the exosuit station. This is my way of cooling the base without doing much Post edit Spoiler Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 9 hours ago, WhatTheDuck said: Something wrong with my calculation? Looks fine to me. As vastly inaccurate estimate, from experience, you need about 8 WWs to cool an electrolyzer for 8 dupes in O2 and H2 has about 2.4 times the specific heat of O2, so 8/2.4 ~ 3.3 matches roughly what you get. Incidentally, H2 pressure does not matter much as long as it is high enough. 5kg is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureJohny Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Anyone calculated cooling power of the oil pitcher pump glitch yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
