wheezewort to Aquatuner ratio


Recommended Posts

Need more information.. what element are you running through your aquatuner?  How much of said element?  Remember the aquatuner gives a temperature delta of -14c and the resulting heat energy that will be applied to the wheezeworts is going to be determined by the SHC of the element and the mass of the element that is changing.

How many wheezewort do I need to keep my aquatuner to run 24/7 in a sealed room with with Hydrogen? Would 6 be enough?

LOL :p

I've been looking for this data, where is it sourced from? Experimentation?

49 wheezeworts is not so high an obstacle when you reach space, as you can import mass quantities of them from ice asteroids. At that point, you've probably already built better coolant systems, and are doing it for fun.

Right, I understand that. But do you have a spreadsheet of it? How did you find that wheezeworts are -12kDTU/s in hydrogen compared to the other gas numbers?

Ummm... Math. 

1 Wheezewort lowers 1kg of gas by 5 degrees. 

Hydrogen's Specific Heat Capacity is 2.4.

5 degrees * 1kg * 2.4 = 12kDTU.

That is precisely what I needed. I did not know the rate of wheezeworts thermal change, and now I do, my thanks.

@thejams if you have a spreadsheet where those data cells came from so neatly formatted, I'd LOVE to have a copy of it.

I have a spreadsheet with the material properties which I derive the calculations from.

For Wheezeworts for example, we know from in-game data and observations that they move 1kg of gas each second if there is enough gas pressure surrounding them (at least 2kg/tile to work continuously).  They cool down the gas by 5°C and we know the Specific heat fo the gas, so we calculate. This was also experimented some time ago.

I also build systems based on these calculations and they work as predicted.  For example for my Metal refinery Crude oil boiler this was the math and it turned out very precise (assuming 10 steel jobs/cycle):

  Amount Specific Heat Thermal Conductivity Start Temp Heat   End temp Heating/Cooling Comment
  g/s (DTU/g)/°C (DTU/(m*s))/°C °C DTU   °C DTU/s  
Metal Refinery Oil Boiler
                 
Petroleum 6.667 1,760 2,000 0     133,0 -1.560.533,33 << = Metal refinery heat output
Crude oil 5.464 1,690 2,000 231,0     400,0 -1.560.533,33 << = Crude oil boiled
Chamber 1               DTU  
Petroleum 850.000 1,760 2,000 400     255,0 216.920.000,00 << = Produced Petroleum cooling
Crude oil 850.000 1,690 2,000 80     231,0 -216.920.000,00 << = Oil preheat

All that math is making my head explode but I have a system in my current base with 12 wheezworts and an AETN using oil as a coolant. Nowhere near 100%uptime.I'm using it to cool water for my bristle farm and currently, it cannot keep up with demand (38 plants).

Does the trick still work where you build metal tiles under the aetn and the AT under the metal tiles in an oil tank and it deletes huge amounts of heat because the aetn resets the temp or something like that...sorry I never build it I can just remember it was a thing:wilson_ecstatic:

Water holds a lot of heat.  You should use Aquatuners instead.

I think you misunderstood my post. I am cooling water for my plants with an aquatuner. I am cooling the aquatuner with oil then cooling the oil with wheezeworts + AETN.

Ah.  You never mentioned the Aquatuner.  Misunderstanding over.

@crypticorb & @Neotuck here is the link to the spreadsheet with few examples: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bkmd_REgekDzNQXn2zxWKhdH0IfZCS3ZpisxnLwxV58/edit?usp=sharing

You will need to make a copy for yourself to edit it (requires a google account if I'm not mistaken)

 

Thank you!  still digesting *grin*

a question i'm having is... if you heat oil hot enough ot boil in a refinery, does it just bubble off like polluted water? or does it break the pipes on the way out? :)

It breaks the pipes. Every transition breaks them even if it`s liquid->liquid.
