Disclaimer: There is a bug with the Metal refinery output which causes additional heat to be added if the output is not empty when a dupe finishes the job. Because this system runs with very tight margins, as soon as the Dupe operating the Refinery reaches level 4 in tinkering, it will ...
AFAIK, germs died off in high or low temperature. Metal refinery didn't kill germs directly. It will be very dependant on many factors including (but not limited to): What kind of metal you refine, each has different heat energy transferred to the coolant How often you refine your metal...
Scrap or eventually sponge iron plays two roles: significant iron raw material and coolant. Without scrap charge, the final temperature of raw steel in a regular blow would approach 2000 ᵒC. It is noteworthy that in the impact areas of oxygen jets at the hot metal surface, very high ...
I often set up an early gold amalgam setup because it's cheap. I personally don't like using a metal refinery without having a concrete way to deal with the heat, meaning I need a steam turbine and a way to keep it cool. This leads to a circular problem where I want an ...
The other pipe is for molten copper "coolant" from the metal refinery which gives off heat here and then goes back to the refinery. When the regolith melts into magma, it is pumped by a liquid pump into the heat exchanger where it preheats the regolith. The valves...
As an active coolant, IE in a refinery, you're right Petroleum is much better. But I find Naptha can be superior as a heat transfer medium, especially if you're trying to transfer heat away from a gas. The main use I've had for it in this build is cooling down volcano metal. The...
Adding a tepidizer + metal refinery to the PW feed side later to get pre-heated 107 degrees PW. (I need the metal anyways, got no metal volcano). Adding an electrolyzer coolant loop to the 2nd aquatuner that is not powered at the moment. ...
