No, having the cooling element at that top is strongly preferred. The bottom is also where the water will collect so you want to be able to keep cooling down that water when the steam stops. If there are no other gasses in the room then the entire room will fill with steam so can condense at the bottom just fine. When you sieve it, you'll delete any excess heat in the PH2O. 10kg/second of PH2O should get you enough cooling, as long as you don't care if the PH2O gets hot. Run a PH2O pipe from somewhere nearby and use it to cool down the metal grate. If you rethink your approach there's a relatively easier way out of the problem. There's going to be a dormancy period that will balance the actual amount of cooling on average you should need.Įdit 2: Sorry, I'm tired. It'll give you more cooling power.Įdit: I should mention that 61 WW's are far beyond what should be expected, but you're limiting your expectations to the eruption only.

Your easiest immediate method to get more steam into water will be to fill the wheezewort series with Hydrogen. I believe your best approach will be to get what you can salvage from this eruption series, then get in there and manipulate some more power approaches. Cool Steam tends to average between 1kg - 1.5kg/s average. My guess is your dormancy period is going to be HUGE, though. There is no easy out for a geyser that's got that much eruption power. If you have a Slush geyser you'd be in really good shape, use one to feed the other and both are in a good place. More complex approaches are manipulating machine temperatures to play with the outputs. Simple approaches are an aquatuner PH2O boiler or building PH2O heat and dumping it into a sieve. That'll give you enough mass to be able to pull down an entire eruption with existing water.

You're correct first order of business should be, if you can get a down time, to stick a hydro sensor about 2/3 tiles up to keep the water base available from your liquid pump. That's a mixed bag at the bottom of your setup. WW's are only 12kW each if they're in Hydrogen. You need to keep a large batch of water as a heat sink so you can keep the water condensing on your water sink while you keep your cooling going. However, you don't have space for that much atmo right now. Well, you need to cool it in 800 seconds or so, actually, since you have down time after the eruption. Do I need to find another way to cool that geyser down to 90☌ ? I will have the amount of WW I need : 731 325 / 12 000 = 61 WW So if I divide the result by the cooling capacity of a WW. So I can divide it byt that and turn it to W : 292 530 000 / 400 = 731 325 W So let's say I want to cool the steam to 90☌. Heat capacity of steam/water is 4.179J/g/☌ I'll post it here and if you can tell me if it is right or wrong. I tried to make some calculations to see how many wheezeworts I would need to cool but. It seems like a lot to me but should be manageable. It ouputs 3.5t of steam for each eruption period. And I'm pretty desperate I won't be able to cool that steam vent with WW. So I pumped the water out of it and now my wheezeworts are heating. Steam condenses but not fast enough and the vent is overpressuring a lot"

I'm trying to tame a "cool" steam vent and I fail miserably at itĪt the start if was full of water and I was like : "It works pretty well. I have a little problem at the moment in my game.
