Stationeers: Simple Phase Change Device Heating or Cooling Setup

- I redid the video for building a simple phase change device heating or cooling setup in this closed loop system as the other video had the audio very muffled. With it I fixed up some errors I made along the way and trimmed out the Vulcan setup and added an explanation for setting it up as a heater. This is just a simple phase change device closed loop system. It may not be the best at moving energy around and definitely isn't the only way to build an effective phase change heating or cooling setup, but I can say it is simple to build and simple to set up for anyone who is just beginning to start dabbling into building one of these systems.

I may take the other one down or keep it for the Vulcan demo at the end, haven't decided yet.
I did make a mistake in forgetting to include that if you have too much phase changing occurring in the pipes between the devices, it would be best to either add more volume to the pipes, add an extra chamber, or to remove some of the coolant. In the initial setup for cooling I had the chambers set for 6MPA and 2.9MPA but as you saw just changing the settings for a different setup meant that I now had excess coolants. I should have removed the excess coolant so the system would have then begun functioning correctly if I didnt want to add a new condensation chamber. Evaporation chambers will fill up to 20L of liquid for evaporating so if you have excess liquids, add another evaporation chamber to use up the excess liquids.
One thing I may not have clarified was the limits of phase change heating or cooling is based on the chosen coolant's Latent Heat / Specific heat. This is why a counterflow heat exchange helps the system since it helps to equalize the temperature of the "flowing" coolants in between the devices so that you can cool to a lower temperature or heat to a warmer temperature than you could without the devices. This was why in my Vulcan demo for my living space, Pollutants could go from 120C to 20C for my living space despite a limit of about 80. Without it you would need 2 phase change loops to make it but as you can see, adding a xflow heat exchange to the system isnt difficult if you add some space to account for it. - Hry
Very nice video. It's really hard to find valuable information on how these things work exactly. I fiddled with them a bit on my own but after seeing this video I can tell, that I did a lot of mistakes. Going to try to fix them now. Thank you.
Hope it helps! There is a lot of ways to configure a system like this but hopefully the simple phase change setup is a good starting point for you. It works well for cheap, but definitely people make a bunch of other really neat and functional systems too!
This is just what I need. I salute you good sir!
This was really well done! thank you for putting that together
11:00 damn those powred vent are no joke
i remember having an array of passive/active vent trying to fill some tank
and here it take mere second to fill a tank lol
They really are. Got to be careful with them though, they dont really have safeties... it says they do but I still tend to explode my pipes if I leave them unattended or way overpressurize a room.
@@shadowdrake082 yeah they dont have pipe protection but should have room pressure protection
based on the logic input it has the (PressureExternal) but missing PressureInternal
Well done, Sir. :)
Awesome job breaking it down
Hope it helps and or starts you off! Best of luck!
@@shadowdrake082 got 1500 hrs in the game and still learning. Going back through you other videos now. Thanks and same to you
Well put together video. Very helpful information. Vocal audio was a bit low. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the phase change update. I can't even collect gasses without having pipes stress out on me and burst or freeze then burst.
Do you have a gas collection setup that works fairly well without having pipe destruction issues?
I did make a phase change mechanics video, hopefully that can help a bit.
In short, phase changes happen due to low temps and/or high Pressures. It would require reading the phase change diagram of the gases and understanding the information provided to help with how you will want to store it. But if you store gases in regular tanks, you need to be watchful about the effects of heat gain/loss depending on the world you are in. First thing I can recommend is to make sure you have plenty of silicon and steel to make insulated pipes and tanks. The better you can control the temperature of your gases the less likely you will have phase change related issues.
your voice is very low in this video.
