gaseous oxygen can "push" liquid oxygen

While "admiring" my liquefaction room for the oxygen, I've observed a strange phenomenon.

Here's my current room configuration :

20181120084124_1.thumb.jpg.5f8f5fa64ac9ae86f7b00e5429e920f3.jpg

2 tiles high, with a high pressure vent on the top right corner for the gaseous oxygen input.

This input is controlled by the atmo sensor aside, that ask a valve (not shown on the screen) to add oxygen if the pressure is below 1 kg.

 

What's strange is that when the oxygen arrive in the room, probably because of the temperature (input oxygen is arounf -23 °C), it accumulates on the vent panel.

When the pressure on this panel is above 10 kg, instead of flowing in the panel on the left (with less than 10 kg of oxygen), it pushes the 300 kg of liquid oxygen below. :D

 

Since there's far more liquid than the pressure of gaseous oxygen, the gas on the vent should push the one on the panel to the left, instead of pushing the liquid. ;)

 

In the save file, it's saved at the exact moment where the liquid is pushed. So you could see the values in each panels. ;) 

 

 

PS to Calvin Valerian : Hands off my save file !!! :p

Steps to Reproduce
Build a room as shown, with a high pressure vent in a corner, cold gaseous oxygen on a side and liquid oxygen below. Then, add hotter oxygen until the pressure on the vent panel reach 10 kg or more. (may work with all gas)



User Feedback


It's not exactly pushing it, it's causing it to "sweat". When a high temperature (above vaporization point) tile (of solid, gas or liquid) contacts a liquid tile above 5kg mass, 5kg of the liquid will vaporize.

No, I've checked the other liquid panels, and they suddenly get more liquid oxygen, until the gas stop pushing the liquid, then the whole surface return to it's previous amount (approximatively).

 

So it's really pushing the liquid. ;)
