I made this thread to ask about the most eficient way to cool/heat in tpt
(remember: I put here only realistic options, not like HEAT or COOL cuz thats op)
Heat:
Fire: >heats to 422 C at max; >Generates smoke and pressure; >Can burn things
Radioative elements: >Too risky; >Too expensive and complex
Cool:
Air(using air heat): >Too slow; >very realistic >Cools to 22 C at max
Water: >Fast >Can turn into steam
Freeze powder: >Not realistic
if you know a heating/cooling method, pls comment below :)
1: Radioactive elements are not expensive, they don't cost money. And 2: The best way to conduct heat is to use the elements with the highest heat conductivity. FILT and HEAC both have a heat conductivity of 251; pretty high. But the elements with the highest heat conductivity are VACU and VENT, both of which have a heat conductivity of 255. If you're concerned about positive or negative pressure, simply disable the air simulation or surround the VACU or VENT with TTAN, VIBR, PUMP, or a pressure-blocking wall of any kind.
The best ways to transfer heat are GLOW for pipes, HEAC for solids, CRMC for solids if you want destructibility.
Radioactive elements (especially uranium) are actually pretty easy to control with PUMP.
HEAC has dedicated code that makes it conduct heat faster than other elements, even though it has a lower heat conductivity
Then what's the point of having a higher heat conductivity?
You can set the HEAC temperature too by using deserialization, just set the HEAC particle's life to 10 and its tmp to 1, then place a FILT particle next to it; the ctype of the FILT will determine the temperature. You can set the FILT temperature by using serialization with a TSNS (read Cracker1000's tutorial, id:2446165). The simplest way to get stuff to room temperature quickly is to put some INWR around (or in) it and spark the INWR.
Well if your reactor, or something that creates high heat needs constant cooling (would explode or fail without it), then that'd be beneficial if the heat can be voided into the cooler faster
You can use the bray launched by pscn to change the temp of anything,put the temp of the aray
