How to handle a hydrogen vent


Recommended Posts

How do u handle a hydrogen vent? It produces insane temperatures that would break my pumps. I have a AETN right below it. Would the cooling from the AETN beat the heat from the vent and if so how do I pump the hydrogen from the vent to the nullifier without breaking the pump? Also I have the "no gasses spawn bug" so this is my only source of hydrogen

You lucky dude, having an AETN that close to a hydrogen vent is a dream come true. Check out this video by Brothgar on the exact topic you're looking at. Skip to 20:40 if you want to see the end result, it's beautiful, simple, and self sustaining.

 

A hydrogen vent is incredibly low output as you can see in this thread. An absolute maximum hydrogen vent will only produce 60g/s on average but it's very unlikely to be absolute maximum. It's far more likely it'll be below 50g/s average so it can be handled by a single miniature pump. But a miniature pump can't handle 500C you say? Sure it can if you set up something like this and once it's in pipes it's trivial to handle the temperature.

Only the two insulated tiles next to the mesh tile in contact with the hot hydrogen needs to be ceramic, the rest are sandstone in this example. Above the same mesh tile is 100g of naphtha which is the least thermally conductive liquid (at normal temperatures). The pump is cooled by dripping petroleum in when needed but it could be with a wheezewort or you could use water. Note the other mesh tile is needed to hold a gas to trigger the gas pump on.
