Drip cooling a natgas gen


Recommended Posts

Is there some trick to drop cooling a natgas gen?  I've seen videos of dripping cold water onto machines to cool them and it looked like it landed on the top and ran off to the sides, but my natgas gen setup appears to fall right past the generator and is cooling the tiles underneath it, which are then cooling the generator.  That is, the tiles are cooler than the generator.  I'm dripping 500g/s of 37 F polluted water onto the generator and it's only at 61 F.

This is my power station where the generators never increase 85 ° C even when they have more demand.
The trick is to build a block of tungsten below where the water falls so that it will cool with it.
If you have a slush geyser available, you can also throw in a little cold water and then filter all the contaminated water together (the one from the geyser and the one produced by the generators).
