Stationeers ATMOSPHERICS for total beginners - TURBO STYLE! - Part 5: Phase change shenanigans

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- WARNING: Lots of GUESSING AND FUMBLING going on in this one! The beginning is a solid tutorial (Purge Valve, Active Liquid Drain), and you'll also see phase change in action, particularly the PHASE CHANGE DEVICE pumping heat from A to B ... which I've never done before with this device. But this ultimately devolves into guessing and trying, so be warned. Beginning = good. The rest = maybe watch another video. (Really, it's beneath the other tutorial episodes.)

Btw. the lone oxygen canister resting in the crater was at 25°C in the end.
At the end I said, this will not be part of the series, but it is now. (I can't check out the video before recording is finished, so I couldn't see that the beginning was way better than the rest. Like 99% of my vids, this isn't edited but just "cut live" by pausing the recording. Lazy - but effective.)
In the Evaporation chamber you want a low enough pressure so that your liquid is able to Evaporate (and cool that machine down). In the Condensation chamber you want a high pressure to force the gas to Condense (and heat that machine up).
"The airlock is open so this room is 5 blocks" -- FYI, the airlock door being open does not cause the airlock to become part of the room it's open to. They're still separate rooms, and it takes a tick for gases to exchange through the open door between the airlock and the larger room. (This can slightly slow down temperature changes, filtering out pollutants, and such.)
Ye, I was a bit overwhelmed by the complexity of the Phase Change devices assembly and gas behavior. ---- Regarding the 5 block room: Gasses also take a tick to equalize in between boxes within 1 room. I don't think this behavior is even slightly different between two boxes that are in two adjacent rooms. Or is it?
It is slightly slower, but rooms would equalize
@@OwnerOfTheCosmos Hmmm. I know _pressure_ could be different and results in breezes when that difference is steady (active vents, etc), but I don’t remember temperature or gas mix ratio ever being noticeably different as I walk around a room. But you are probably right, and the door just acts as a choke point slowing down the rate of exchange to where differences are more noticeable.
You made a heat pump / AC.
I would just make that into a full cycle Loop liquefying on one side and evaporating on the other, basically as you did. And make it reversible and put one side in space. I would expect it to work pretty easily . As long as you can consistently vaporize on one side and liquify on the other . Which I would just do with pressure regulators. Heating or cooling done
27:44 you need to set the Pressures in the chambers in accordance with the temperatures on the phase change chart of the gas.
- Using pollutant, you want to set the evaporation chamber to somewhere above 1800kpa (freezing) and the evaporation chamber will use all liquid it can get to reach the low temperature.
- The condensation chamber is the opposite. You want to set it to the highest temperature you want it to achieve. 6000kpa means it will condense all gasses it can get up to 152° Celsius.
Be mindful: I said "all the gas/liquid it can get" on purpose - if you have too little pollutant in the system, the chambers may not reach the absolute maximum value since they cannot get enough gas/liquid from the opposing device. If you have too much pollutant in the system, you may overburden your liquid pipes and cause them to burst - a purge valve on the liquid line between the devices ist highly recommended.
Did I mention I hate programming but love phase change? :)
I have found that the phase change devices work best if you let them work on cooling one side or heating one side primarily. Trying to get them to keep a an exact balance of one temperature on one side and another temperature on the other will just give you a headache with the pipe networks between the devices. So, if I want to cool, I set the evaporation chamber to my desired temperature/pressure and max out the condensation chamber. An when I want to heat, I set the condensation chamber to my desired pressure/temperature and set the evaporation chamber to barely above the freezing threshold (1800kpa for Pollutant). That way, I get a system running stable. Ideally, you do not want any pressure in the gas pipe between devices and no liquid in the liquid line between devices. all gas and liquid should be in the devices in an ideal scenario.
@@wowailyich615 Thank you, I copied all this to my notes. I have to experiment with this thing.
Another great vid. Thank you
Heh ... 4 likes after 12 views is HIGH! But could be a statistical spike. Personally, I don't like the outcome much, but the beginning works, and the rest saves the curious from a lot of setting-up and sciencing, I guess.
Holy crap ok yea i need to try these things on my mars base. I wanna try and make a freezer room XD
Why did you use a pipe with radiators? Why not simply put a passive vent and use the room as the target?
I don't know, I've hardly ever used the PCDs, so I assumed it works like the Air Conditioner: The pipe needs some good pressure for the AC to work. That's not so in the case of the PCD?
🤯
Don't worry. The next one is super down to Earth: AIRLOCKS!
