How To Cool Your Base - BEST Mid-Game Cooling System EVER! - Oxygen Not Included FULL RELEASE

hey guys this is my new super awesome cooling system it's so staggeringly simple you won't believe it now the reason that I'm showing you like a full-blown one already built and not doing it in my usual let's play styling and showing you how to build it is because on yesterday's livestream I showed off this contraption which whilst its staggering Millie clever and apart from the pipe layout which which is integral to the to the cleverness of the design is it's very simple and very straightforward it uses it uses no automation in these these bits of automation here are actually irrelevant the problem is once I once I thought about it a bit more I realized that this is actually incredibly inefficient and that is because if you're if you pass packets of water into an aqua tuna with gaps in between the aqua tuna actually runs and draws power for two ticks instead of just one tick and that's a problem because it means that I'm only getting half the efficiency for the power that I'm putting in if you want to know more about this watch the the live stream that's up on mine up on my channel you can see the live stream you can see exactly how this works and why it works and that the whole methodology behind it but once I realized my hideous error I thought you know what I need to come up with a new one and I need to tell the guys so people don't go and build this because it's hideously hideously inefficient so let's get back to the other one okay so let's take a look at this little beauty and see exactly how it works so this is based on base curling so the idea is that you're circulating water throughout your base and then you want to cool that water down now using water as a as a coolant and piping it around your base is an awesome way to keep the base nice and cool the problem is having taken all that heat out of your base how do you then cool it down you want a nice easy consistent solution that just works and this just works so let's take a look so I am pumping warm water in although it's not that warm look at this but I'm pumping in a continuous supply of 10 kilograms of water right now for efficiency you want to be pumping in ideally 10 kilograms of water so that you're getting the maximum efficiency out in the aqua unit because the the aqua tuner uses maximum power and it's maximum power let's go to the power of you it uses up 1200 watts regardless of how much water you're pumping through it right so it doesn't matter whether these packets of water are 10 kilograms or 1 kilogram this will still use up 1200 watts so ideally you want to be using the maximum water which is sir 10 kilo kilograms per second so what do we do well I'm running the the water through some radiant pipes which I'm running around the steam turbine and the idea for that is to is to is to preheat this water a little bit and and cool down the steam turbine and you can see that this is running and are very very comfortable 25 degrees now steam turbines have to be kept below 100 degrees if you if it gets over a hundred degrees it'll stop working don't suck having having cooled down pre called the steam turbine our water just gets pumped I've got a liquid valve in here but I'm not using it you can use this to throttle your your water going into here if you need to but I have naturally needed to use it at all and in theory you don't need to use it at all so the water comes in it goes into the aqua tuna heats up the aqua tuna get to cool down by 14 degrees comes out and you can see this is coming out very very cool and that just gets dumped out into our reservoir into our main reservoir right and it's it's that simple so what about all of this in here how's this working I'll point out there is ZERO automation there is zero in terms of gases there's nothing being done with gases there's nothing being done with automation the only thing that is running this is just the liquid piping that's it and that's why I say that this is like the best cooling system now the best is obviously a subjective term and it's the best mid-game because obviously when you're getting to the endgame you get more advanced materials which can make this much more efficient in theory so so for mid-game the reason I'm saying the best I'm taking into consideration the how simple it is how easy it is to build and it is staggeringly easy to build literally you build this containment put in the put in the aqua tuna bit of piping put in some temp shift plates fill this up with two tiles full of crude oil this is the crude oil and I'll explain why I'm using crude oil here then you want just over a tile full of water so you want to fill up this tiles and have a little bit of water in these this top row of tiles then put your steam turbine on top so you won't have any other gases in here then just let it run and just let it heat up and when it reaches equilibrium and this is at equilibrium now we'll be running our aqua tuna you can see it's kind of bouncing around between about one 42 and 153 ish but you'll see the crude oil is it seems to settle at equilibrium if you're if you're supplying constantly ten kilograms of water to be cooled it settles at around 142 degrees which is well within the thermal limit of the aqua tuna which will start taking damage at 175 degrees so we are well well within the thermal limits of the system so why am I using crude oil okay it's the it's the properties of crude oil that make this kind of work very very well it has a a really high thermal conductivity it's got a thermal conductivity of 2 right now you compare that to water for example water has a thermal conductivity of only naught point six so this is what over 3 times more conductive and the issue is getting the heat out of the crude oil and into the steam right and if you look if you'd like look at right at the top here that's 140 point 3 and that's and the the crude oil is only 140 presence it's trying to tick up 242 so let's call it hundred and forty-two so there's only a two degree temperature difference between the crude oil and the steam and the way we achieve that is a combination of the thermal conductivity of the of the crude oil so that is transferring heat very rapidly and then we're using these these copper templates so again I'm not using anything any staggeringly advanced materials this is just copper this has got a thermal conductivity of 60 so that's going to be dragging the heat out of the crude oil and transferring it to the steam now these these type shift plates operate you know in a 9 square radius so these are transferring the heat not just to these tiles but also to these tiles up here and that's why we're keeping this the very very conceit can herb very consistent a temperature gradient from the from the crude oil all the way up to the top of the steam so and and that's pretty much it so what happens we we have the the heat being transferred into the crude oil that is transferred into the steam over 125 degrees the steam turbine will start sucking in the steam and it converts this the the heat that's in the steam to to electricity to energy and this is currently producing and it's not telling me if I mouse over it will tell me it's currently producing 366 watts of power which is pretty nice and it's always producing that this is this is completely at equilibrium now and you can see that the temperature down here isn't going up and down it's not fluctuating at all so this is going to carry on running and keep producing 366 367 watts of power consistently so what happens the steam gets sucked into the steam turbine and then we take the heat convert it to electricity the electricity now obviously you'd want this kind of like properly hooked up to your to your power grid I've just I just attached it to this circuit for ease of showing this off and after I've just thrown a battery on there like what the hell so you can see that this is just transmitting that power into the power grid and then the the steam is converted to water and then the water is just pumped back out here now each one of these is each one of these vents sucks in I think it's four kilograms of water per second so no point four kilograms and so times five gives us 2,000 grams of water coming out oh yeah that's right so they get we get 2,000 grams of water coming out consistently at 95 degrees C that gets piped into here and instantly gets converted back to steam so we don't have any overpressurization issues we've got let's see we've got just over just over 500 kilograms of steam per tile which is just over one row of water so when you initially put it in you just fill it slightly over so there's no gas left in the system and then when the water sufficiently heats up turns to converts the steam and you end up with about 550 kilograms of steam purse per cell so that gets converted into steam now is the steam turbine and that is how we delete the heat from the system because that heat is getting converted into electricity and that means that we can have water flowing around our base constantly and constantly being cooled and this is cooling this water down 14 degrees so with the water's coming in at between 14 and 16 degrees and going out at between 0.6 and 2 degrees it's pretty awesome and in fact now that I've been running this for a while my base is actually getting like too cool I actually need to pick up more heat to avoid my water getting so cold that it freezes now you will want to put a little bit of automation around this well potentially I mean it may not be needed but you might want to do it so you might want to put in something like this mechanism that I was using in my ear in my old aqua tuner which what this does is it limits the temperature of the water that's been passed into the cooling system so you want to make sure that this water is not below say 14 degrees which this water some of this water is below 14 degrees so yet so you want to make sure the waters not below 14 degrees so that you don't turn you don't freeze your pipes up and what else I mean there really isn't anything else to it yeah if you don't want to be pumping so much water in then you can just throttle it with a liquid valve and reduce the reduce the flow of water in here and yeah other than that there really isn't too much to it you can put this basically anywhere it's pretty small how big is it take a look this is like the whole thing is nine by ten so it's not a big thing you can put it literally anywhere and if you decide that that is not enough cooling for you then of course you can add a second one or if you wanted to you can have two aqua tuners and two steam turbines on top you can combine two into one or you can have firm separate ones so there you go that is my ultimate mid-game cooling solution and I don't know about you but I think that that is pretty simple really easy to build I'll just run through so all you've got to worry about is power there's no gas just plumbing no automation couldn't be simpler it's all you got to do is find yourself some fine sir sell some crude oil research up to getting steam turbines boom you're done all right guys we're gonna leave it there if you want to see if you want to see me actually construct this then if you if you watch my regular let's play series I will be constructing this but I've got to dig down and get crude oil from down here I actually had to use the debug tool to give me some some crude oil but I wanted to show you this very rapidly after the live stream because I didn't want anybody building that other monstrosity because it's so inefficient it's clever it's really inefficient this thing is staggeringly efficient alright guys we'll leave it there I hope you like this I'm looking forward to hearing your comments on this and I will catch for the next one peace out [Music]
