Liquid pipes thermal insulation


Overman775
  • Branch: Preview Branch Version: Windows Pending

Liquid pipes constructed of thermal insulation heat / cool the liquid inside, it always breaks the pipes. The thermal conductivity of the pipes should influence the liquid inside as well as outside.

Often break when pumping liquid hydrogen

++ We can build ordinary pipes and thermally insulated pipes, all pipes have thermal insulation equal to zero, there is no difference in them


Steps to Reproduce
Build pipes from thermal insulation, pump liquid hydrogen



User Feedback


"all pipes have a thermal insulation equal to zero"

I very much doubt that

and you'll need to provide a save file for the devs to look at or they will most likely ignore this bug report

I meant that ordinary pipes made of thermo insulating material and thermally insulated pipes made of thermo insulating material have thermal insulation equal to zero

Not exactly. Even though it looks like 0.0000, it's actually not zero. It has some really small number.

And all insulation pipes have 20 (if I'm not mistaken) times less thermal conductivity.

The actual problem is that temperature exchange between pipe content and the pipe itself calculates differently than the pipe and surrounding tiles/liquid/gases. For example, if you submerge an insulated pipe made of insulation into liquid oxygen there would be no temperature exchange between them. But if pipe some liquid oxygen through that pipe then the pipe will gradually cool down.
