psusi Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have a diamond tempshift plate that is -2.7 F next to a mesh tile I put in my steam vent condensation room thinking it would keep the mesh cold, and thus when the steam hits it, it would condense. The mesh however is only at 54.1 F. What gives? Is mesh not considered a normal tile like a full solid metal tile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djoums Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I noticed that too, mesh tiles don't behave like regular tiles in that regard. Same for airflow tiles. That's actually quite handy for handling regolith, because it won't heat up here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think it has to do with the fact that the tile has air behind it? I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airflow and mesh usually interact with the air, I don't think they are counted as solid tiles if there is a vacuum it could be they are taking on the vacuums properties.

Yeah same behavior as the mesh tiles, looks like it's the right clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
