Phase change has given the ability to create our own custom cooling systems. In this video I try to give the basics of how to go about it. Open and closed cycle systems and the minimum you need to make them work.

Would be great to see a Vulcan playthrough given all the changes. Love the information videos but enjoy watching you work through this stuff in a playthrough series.

I sincerely enjoy that you continue to make sense of the ever changing gameplay.

You have a knack of explaining complicated things in an easy to understand way. Thank you.

That was a great explanation Mick👍 Couldn't figure out how to get nitrogen cold enough to keep it as a liquid and multistage multigas is the awnser. Your nitrous setup really made it click for me.

There are so many ways to build these. I dont know if I will ever be able to test them all.

Great video! Very nicely explained. I like your examples aswell. There are many more ways to do this, with some of them getting quite complicated. But your examples makes it much easier to understand imo. Hoping for a new lets play soon! ;)

Mate, I love your videos 100%. These are the reason I continue to enjoy the game so much. Taught me so much, encourages me to test (and blow stuff up) and improve things so they are safe for me to be around lol

One could use water as coolant rather early in a closed system on vulcan, trading volatiles for water I guess. I would love to see a new Vulcan playthrough with all the changes to gas and trading that we had lately. Loved those recent videos as well, thank you for all the time you put into this

This was good. :) You're a bit more advanced than I am, but I was able to roughly figure out how the evaporative cooling worked when I was building my Mars Stirling Engine room, lol.

12:25 you totally can use a liq volume pump/ expansion valve and it works terrifically for going into a counter flow hext exchanger where you expect liq to evaporate as part of a phase cooler... just make sure that the inlet gas pipe has a pretty significant volume or you have other safeties in place.

[Puts hand up] Please sir? Can I be excused? My brain is full...

@Dunkurtin 5 ай бұрын

You use the expansion valve to dump hot pressurised liquids into low pressure pipes where it will immediately evapourate before it can damage the pipe. Pretty much exclusively for fuel mixing if you are storing fuels in liquid form.

Also pretty sure that for the setup you make around 18:00, if you connected the purge valve after the first one way valve, you'd condense a lot more pollutant much more efficiently.

That's how refrigerators and ACs work irl.

@jojoskunk 5 ай бұрын

So the best liquid/gas is the one that as the biggest latent heat for the operation range you are looking for. In a multistage system it could be different gas... what about the "energy flow/total latent heat" should it be the same a each stage? Build a parallel system with other gas "nitrous" if it need to be equal or above the main working gas"pollutant" latent heat in that case to not be the bottleneck.

@cowsareevil7514 5 ай бұрын

The biggest latent heat will allow you to stoer the most cooling power. I havent done the math on the total energy flow, but I suspect that the liquifaction pressure would be a factor so the pollutant with half the cooling power of the nitrous might be a better option for cooling speed. But I havent tested it, so I could be wrong.

@timnosco7400 5 ай бұрын

Could you attempt to add a load to your two step (open pollutant, closed n2o) loop? Maybe by adding pipe heaters, you can experimentally determine the maximum amount of watts moved by the system.

omg so happy to see you back we thought you were dead

@BladerRavinger92 4 ай бұрын

i would assume the expansion valve used in conjunction with a tank would give it a low enough pressure to evaporate quickly and not create too much stress?

@lightneko 5 ай бұрын

In the evaporation chamber what if you tried going colder just until the gas you want chilled gets closer?

@cowsareevil7514 5 ай бұрын

The chamber does rely on passive heat transfer to the heat exchanger so supercooling it would speed up the transfer as long as you have switching logic to prevent overcooling.

@toxicbubble5 3 ай бұрын

How do you determine what pressure to set each purge valve at each step to?

@Erah001 5 ай бұрын

does phase change happen in advanced furnace? with steam it looks like you could melt a few metals just by increasing pressure :P

@cowsareevil7514 5 ай бұрын

The max heat is from water at 370C so you could do some low melt alloys.

Question Mick - Is this only "needed" as a clever way of cooling in situations on Venus or Vulcan ? If you play on Mars or the Moon, does this even matter ?

@Sworn973 5 ай бұрын

Ah, still waiting for venus setup, where you have no access to world atmo for heating cooling. Although I think one just have to play with pressure, than just blow up the overheated excess

@zncon 5 ай бұрын

I don't have access to the game for the moment, but what properties does CO2 have in game? There are a number of real-world systems looking to use it as a refrigerant.
