    Near the end, you were wondering whether you should be putting the phase loops in series or in parallel. I set up a test world to try to get a definitive answer. Both setups gave identical results. However, the parallel loops are simpler to set up and manage because all the phase devices can share the same heat exchanger and coolant supply. You just add on extra Phase Devices when you want more capacity.

    Control the temperature in your evaporation/condensation chambers by controlling the pressure. The values will follow the curve in the phase change chart.
    The point of phase change is that the material absorbs/releases a lot of energy without changing temperature. At ambient pressure, taking water from 99C to 101C requires more energy than heating it from 20C to 99C.
    Increasing the pressure increases the phase transition temperature. You can force 200C steam to liquify by squeezing it hard enough.
    So choose teh temperatures you want in each chamber, and set them to the corresponding pressure from the phase chart.

    • @Flipsie
      @Flipsie  4 дні тому +1

      I'd been working on the assumption that making the evaporation chamber work at as low a pressure as possible would enable the most rapid heat transfer since evaporation requires the same energy input regardless of what temperature it's at (water will evaporate at nearly 0C if the pressure is near 0). So I had my evap chambers set to be as low as possible. I'm curious if that was stopping them from properly filling or something else strange like that, so I've set one loop to higher pressures and we'll see if it's beneficial in any way during the stream tomorrow :)

      @@Flipsie Starting at the cold end, find the output temperature where the final air conditioner works most efficiently.
      You want the coldest evaporator's liquid input to be about that same temperature, and you want the pressure just low enough to evaporate that liquid. That way all the energy of vaporization comes from the air conditioner's output (connected to the evaporator's secondary gas input).
      The output gas from the evaporator will go into a heat exchanger. The input liquid will come from the same heat exchanger.
      Gas leaving the heat exchanger goes into a condenser. Crank the condenser pressure up high enough to convert the input gas to liquid. The pressure will make the liquid hotter than the gas, and you want it as hot as possible while still getting the right temperature for the liquid going into the evaporator.
      Connect the condenser's secondary gas input to the next hotter stage, at about the same temperature as the output liquid. That way all the energy of condensation gets pushed into the next hotter stage.
      That higher temperature is the working temperature for your next evaporator.
      Evaporation pulls energy from the next cooler stage into the current stage. Condensation pushes energy from the current stage into the next hotter stage. You want both to happen at a phase transition.. lower pressure on the cold side, higher pressure on the hot side. The heat exchanger lets the condenser work at a higher temperature than the evaporator.

    One thing I did in my Venus cooling setup was to use one filtration unit and a bunch of one way valves to pressurize coolant pipes. Basically the same setup as Splitsie's, but with filtration unit that keeps the whole system at set pressure.
    I connected every part of the cooling setup in series by one way valve. They don't transfer heat (they do transfer heated gas, but if the pressure is equal on both sides, it separates both networks).
    Then I made a short script tor filtration unit to keep output pipe at 10MPa (a bit too much, but gives a lot of thermal capacity later on).
    That way I don't have to keep track of how much gas is in the cooling system - everything is equalized and the filtration unit will pump more gas automagically when I decide to expand the cooling setup (it will heat up a ton, but doesn't require any input on my side).

  • @TDOBrandano
    @TDOBrandano 4 дні тому +1

    I think that to get the maximum efficiency from the phase change system you have to lower the evaporator pressure to match your target boiling temperature, while increasing the condenser pressure to make the gaseous phase liquefy even if the temperature is high. I think your colder loops should operate at lower pressure.

    • @Flipsie
      @Flipsie  4 дні тому

      They're all operating at their highest/lowest pressures possible respectively. All the condensation chambers are generating as much pressure as they can in order to liquify the water as fast as possible and the evaporation chambers are all set to 1 or 2kPa to have the water evaporate as easily as possible :/

    • @Pystro
      @Pystro 2 дні тому +1

      @@Flipsie Maybe the bottleneck is the ability of those evaporators/ condensers to push/ pull enough material to those pressures? I.e. they don't change the pressure to what would be required/dictated by the temperatures of the CO2 lines, but to the pressures that you dialed in.
      I know that volume pumps and pressure regulators can move less material when their input (and output) pressures change. Maybe these chambers uses the same type of formula, but taking the output pressure to be simply the dialed in pressure.
      [edit:] That would be a slightly stupid system from a gameplay and realism standpoint, but you never know...
      This is where having two identical cooling loops (as I suggested under an earlier video) would come in handy. It would allow you to do proper science with a control.

    The problem with your phase change loops are that you are not setting the evap chamber pressures for the target temp you want to achieve. With the correct settings, you could even eliminate some of your A/Cs. Since you are using multiple separate loops, set each for an increment of the temp drop. This should prevent any accidental Blammos. You could also create a longer loop using more heat exchanges between the chambers, but you may need expansion valves and such to balance the gas/liquid in the line. You should check out Cows are Evil's phase change cooling tutorial.

    • @WolvesPlaysGames
      @WolvesPlaysGames 4 дні тому +1

      I noticed that too! If you want to maximize cooling though, set your evaporators to just above the freezing point of the gas. Make sure there is enough gas that your evaporators reach the set pressure. And always set your condensors to 6kpa unless your trying to warm to specific temperature. The condensors may not reach full pressure if the temperature is higher, but that's okay.

    1:03:46 That 358°C is still only 2 degrees below the maximum temperature/pressure point of the water condensers, isn't it? That _looks_ like those 4 air conditioners are (very close to) throttling the speed of the phase change loops (at least if the pressure stays that high when it reached steady state). If that's true, then you'd need a 5th air conditioner.

    I think that last water loop is where a pollutant loop would actually be beneficial. or the heat exchanger is making the gas transfer slowly making it work slowly.
    also making a custom loop is difficult to make an efficient one. I've found the best way to do it is to evaporate in gas lines because purge valves are slow. then when the evaporation gas line gets to the correct temperature you empty it

    • @griffinmartin6356
      @griffinmartin6356 4 дні тому

      the fastest system I've found to do this is to have two loops with a massive amount of inline tankts then you have a turbo pump connected to a small pipe that connects to the hot water line (condensing the hot gas).
      then you have a pipe analyzer on the loop and an expansion valve with a condensation valve. these two valves go to a separate loop that just shares the water of the evaporation loop. then you have a liquid turbo pump from the liquid line that shares the water to the cold water line. if that water gets to hot you can pump it into another evaporation chamber which will do the same thing as the original one
      I have a script which automatically does all this if you want

    Splitsie, from my end, I watch your content because of your pacing, cadence, voice tone, humor, and I could keep naming stuff, but all of it combines into videos I play while working. The whole thing helps me keep my work pace, with good breaks in between, stuff to think about that breaks me off from repetition and tedium, thus resetting my concentration.
    So I'm biased to pretty much any content you put out and got plenty of play-time to chew trough. So if this sneaked-in play through means more videos, I'm all in for it.
    On the membership videos concerns, I don't think it's a good idea to make these members only, specifically on series/playtroughs that are accessible to non-members. I think as a content creator you understand the "I did a bit of off camera grind" meme and how it's easily overdone when we cross from getting this grindy bit, or I afk'd a few hours out of the way to ups I did a whole episode worth of content off camera.
    Would be a completely different matter if the playtroughs is members only from the start, or say from episode 2, so that episode 1 is a sample of members perks, in this case you could use this format to playtroughs of games that are not stream-friendly and/or edition friendly, record in flexible times, and if needed, cobble together shorter sessions into longer videos through minimum edition. And would give members more for their subscription.
    More stuff might convince more people to subscribe, and that might help get you through the latest twitch paywall, I mean GPU wall 😊

    the thermal Phase Change Floor for Water is 100c as below that water doesn't evaporate readily. below 100c, use CO2 for thermal transfer as it's thermal capacitance will drop below 0c for AC cooling.
    7 min's per cycle for cooling = add more inline tanks to boost cycle capacity and throughput per cycle.
    get your heat dump relocated to your desired location for dumping out to atmosphere.
    decide where you want your Solar Tracking to see what site prep needs doing for equipment placement and Battery Storage. a cross connection to the other Battery Banks will permit power equalization to where demand is greater.

    Some comments as I watch:
    I do like the whole experimenting on your own idea. Definitely better for you to learn and experiment and see how things work.
    3:58 I think the inline tanks on the liquid pipe network are more or less there for safety reasons, in the event the liquids/gases in there get super hot, you want to have some space to let them expand in the pipe network. But yea probably not necessary unless you personally use some pressurant gas to keep all the coolant as a liquid and make sure none evaporate.
    12:35 I have questions on your train of thought of adding another AC in series like this... All you are doing is tightening how far the upper end of water's condensation chamber is without really adding cooling output. If I could put it in another way, you are hard limited by the fact that your cooling setup looks like a reverse funnel, at the hot end it is very thin but on the cooler end you have a lot of heat that can be moved. You are just extending the funnel vertically without really widening the thin ends.
    14:45 I agree with the cooling loops bringing you down to 50C where an AC can cool the hot end. Having a parallel system will help with moving heat (Which I assume is what you meant by duplicate system 1 level higher), but maybe you should approach backwards, if on the cold end you can move so much thermal energy, how can you modify each stage to ensure it can move that much or greater until you reach Venus temps.
    20:30 Practice makes perfect! Bright side is that they are essentially the same hardware and configuration. Maybe a bingo card would be "Why isnt the evaporation chamber mirrored so the faceplate faces the front to match up pipes?"
    29:00 Okay, back to the mirroring of the evap chamber, I'm sure you mentioned it somewhere, but why dont you have the evap chamber face backwards? That way the Condensation chamber and Evaporation chamber's coolant pipes match up 1 for 1 and have the heat exchange lines be on the outside?
    32:30 Counterflow: hot liquids from condensation in one side, cold gases from evaporation in the other side. They flow and exchange thermal energy so that: cold liquids come out to evap chamber, hot gases come out to cond chamber. You want hot gases to condense because it has the most thermal energy that needs to be dumped off, you want cold liquids evaporating because you want as much of the latent energy of evaporation to cool your target.

      43:40 Sounds high enough... if your lungs werent damaged... Speaking of last pill... any thoughts about the cryo chamber?
      48:30 I think 1 12L canister was enough... maybe 2...
      1:01:20 It may throttle it some, but it does work better on a temperature differential. If the AC at the front can't keep up, then it will transfer less into the CO2 for the AC to push through your cooling system and should stabilize.
      1:03:30 I think thats just the throttling happening because they cant move as much heat out as fast as your water phase change loops are pushing in.
      1:04:20 That water in the gas pipe is a sign of a stressed system. Because you dont have a lot of water in there it wont cause a break, but if you add more water to the loop a break will happen.
      1:05:12 This is why water can't work very well as it gets closer to room temp. This is where you need to swap to a Pollutant or nitrous phase change coolant because they can work better here.
      1:06: 50 It is the second bottleneck.
      1:10:30 Not good, you want evaporation to happen. The expansion valve will just flood the gas pipe it connects to with liquids, you would need to control the pressure of your "Expansion chamber", but then you have to carefully manage with pumps how much liquids go through the valve. You'd end up using more power and would need to make sure you have a big enough chamber to offset the power used to move thermal energy.
      1:11:45 It is because water does not work well at that low pressure. Think of it this way, evaporation happens to fill in the missing pressure. When you are needing barely 1kpa of pressure, it doesnt take but 1 mol to give you that pressure, so only that 1 mol can evaporate, and with that only 8kJ of latent heat is what you get.

      I've tweaked the pressures on the original series, so it'll be interesting to compare the heat movement of them to the top row (which have all the evap chambers set to 1 or 2 kpa). So far it looks like the lower the pressure, the more heat energy can be moved but I'll leave it alone for a while and see on stream tomorrow if there's something else going on that's game logic which breaks the otherwise sound logic of 'more water evaporates into a higher pressure assuming the temp is high enough for evaporation'

    • @shadowdrake082
      @shadowdrake082 4 дні тому

      Like on the hotter end? You kind of see the limitations in 2 ways. If you have really hot temps trying to evaporate to hit a lower temp, you get quite a bit of evaporation. But then at the freezing point you get so much less. I do see on the upper end, condensation gets very limited as well.
      I am curious as to the results because i havent done a venus cooling system, the most i worked with were Vulcan temperatures and i only dealt with the night time(127 C) temps.

    Before I've watched the whole vid, here's my guess: you realise that your cooling is ultimately limited by the external cooling - that the max you can cool is the amount of energy you can dump to the external atmosphere?
    This means you need more AC units facing the external atmosphere, because they have very low efficiency.
    I have tested and found that the having a HEATER on the external is slightly better than a cooler. (Take in external atmos, set temp to 546 and dump to outside immediately; will cool waste by about 120 degrees, processing 12 moles per tick.)
    Haven't got around to testing, but having external-facing AC hooked to heat exchangers rather than directly another AC may be better. (I've done 2:1 direct and you lose a lot of efficiency on the individual units, but it works and you get overall better than just 1) This would be because of the way the gas movement calcs are done, I think.
    Obviously, adding an extra heat ex per externally-facing AC is a LOT of materials! (Esp. as ACs are horrifically expensive on their own!)
    Main reason I've not tested this is because I've been trying to do Venus on Brutal 😅😅😅😭

    • @streetwind.
      @streetwind. 4 дні тому

      Alas, it turns out he gave the external facing one the largest temperature differential by far, ensuring that it runs the least efficient of them all...
      That said, I don't understand the whole phase-change setup nearly well enough to really judge where the bottleneck in the whole system is. I just would have configured the ACs differently, myself.

    • @shadowdrake082
      @shadowdrake082 4 дні тому

      @@streetwind. You are right, the biggest bottleneck is the group of ACs working close to Venusian Temps. The phase change is pretty much just a heat pump and should move heat consistently, but it can only do so if they dont get bottlenecked on the condensation end. We see the first water loop had latent cooling of roughly 20kj and the next had 8kj, thats more or less a function of water getting really limited in how much it can cool because it is limited on the top as well as approaching the floor of the phase change curve. Ideally he should be swapping to Nitrous or Pollutant phase change device from 140C to 20C.

  • @dacoz
    @dacoz 4 дні тому

    Would if be worth parallelizing each step (ie connecting the CO2 lines from upper to lower loop together) you may not need the additional a/c units. It is just a thought. I have no idea if it will double the throughput of your bottlenecks or just half the efficiency.

    • @Flipsie
      @Flipsie  4 дні тому

      Honestly, I'm not sure if that would be better or worse, or just about the same as what I've got going on. The upshot of the current setup would be that I can fiddle with one line and see if it starts outperforming the other at some step, so it might be helpful to keep them isolated if I end up experimenting on it in the future

    • @WolvesPlaysGames
      @WolvesPlaysGames 4 дні тому

      Parallel ACs don't work as well. You lose about 1% efficiency per 1C of temperature differential. In parallel, every AC is hit with the full temperature differential as well as the highest temperatures on the input (which also reduce efficiency). By putting them in series, the temperature differential is many times smaller and the ACs also get work at progressively lower temperatures, gaining extra efficiency.
      BTW, you can also just set all the ACs to the same temperature. It doesn't change their efficiency; just when they turn themselves off.

    Is it possible that the lack of O2 accumulating in the big O2 tank (N/A) is due to the small amounts of it in the the secondary waste (brown) cooling line, condensing (/reacting to volatiles, aka Hydrogen) to form the bits of liquid water H2O, that then gets flushed into the water tank? (at the far right side of the atmospherics room, with the IC setup).
    If this is the case, then you'll never (or hardly ever) get O2. Right? Surely some of the O2 must have come through by now..
    //pardon my ignorance
    Would it maybe be better to separate your critical gasses (like O2) out in the beginning of the series of tanks (before they react), and then cooling them before separating, rather than at the end, after all the noxious stuff that may remain hot? (i.e. filter out the good hot gasses then cool, the others go on hot down the line).
    PS
    I only watch these stream recordings on Flipsie.

    • @Flipsie
      @Flipsie  4 дні тому +1

      The O2 hasn't made it through because it had been filtered out of the waste tank into my other O2 storage, so there wasn't actually any in there to get through to the big tank. I only removed that filtration setup in the last stream so it'll take some time for the O2 that's now in the big waste tank to make its way to where it needs to be.
      Thankfully due to the large amount of CO2 in the big waste tank it's possible for the volatiles and O2 to remain in there without reacting as they can't reach ignition temps and partial pressures (I think).
