Where does it stand with regards to Oxygen thou? Below it?

Yes. See this image:

These are the gases the from top to bottom:

  • Hydrogen
  • Oxygen/PO2  (they seem just to mix)
  • Natural Gas
  • Steam (must be above 100 °C or else it will condence to water)
  • Sour Gas
  • Phosphorus (must be above 280.5 °C or else it will condence into it's liquid form)
  • Chlorine
  • Carbon Dioxide

After a few metal refinery accidents I have my answer lol

I know this might be a bit late, but heres a simple fix for avoiding overcooking your coolant

In these pics i'm making steel, and have my pipe sensor set to "above 240" before the liquid shut off - you can go to 260ish, but I had plenty of oil so erred to the side of caution ;)

The sensor below the pipe thermo sensor is an element sensor that checks for whatever liquid you're using as a coolant - mine was oil, so it's set to crude oil on a NOT gate. All this does is disables the refinery temporarily whilst the exit pipe has fluid in it. Once this pipe clears (either it's been drained off to my oil refineries, or recycled back for more steel making) the refinery toggles back on and can be used again.

Above I have a reservoir where my hot oil can buffer - this is essential if you have lazy slacker dupes like Nails here... Make sure you always process your output oil at a higher priority and you'll never have problems again.

thanks for the info; my brain won't process that much right now, I'll have a better look in the morning when i can think.

 

i use automation and a temp sensor but it really helps to have it set correctly when setting a temp threshold...  oops.
as it was never below 250 it kept looping endlessly til it reached something like 1000F. LOL

I kept missing what was wrong so it happened again. hehe.

An excellent illustration - thank you, wish i'd found it when i looked.

Right.. no pretty picture but hre's a list of various gases sorted by their density:

  • Hydrogen
  • Oxygen/PO2  (they seem just to mix)
  • Natural Gas
  • Steam
  • Sour Gas
  • Sulfur
  • Phosphorus
  • Chlorine
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Rock Gas ( gaseous form of any 'rock' type substance, dirt, sand, etc. )
  • Copper
  • Super Coolant
  • Gold
