By using a valve to choke the flow of ethanol so that it is never sitting inside the generator but gets immediately deleted instead, it has less of a chance to spread the heat. I used the same trick with my petrol gen running on ethanol. With the 33g/s valve the water in the tile will always be at 95 C and be deleted before it can spread that heat. Sure, you have a buffer of water in the tile without the valve that will cool the fresh hot water, but it will reach equilibrium somewhere below 95 C and above 5 C ( or whatever the gas in the area is at ), and the higher than point is, the more heat is being spread to the environment that your wheeze warts have to suck up. That's exactly why the valve trick damn well should work ( and has been posted on the forums forever ). The slower the transfer rate, the higher the temperature the water sitting in the hydroponic tile will be before it is deleted, and that means less cooling you need from the wheeze warts or other source. It does matter because you don't have to take all of the heat out of the water before the plant deletes it. Given that it's heat of the water vs cooling of the wheezewort, the transfer rate doesn't matter Out of curiosity, what did you make your hydroponic tiles out of? I make mine out of gold amalgam because if its lower thermal conductivity and specific heat. They must have changed something because when I did this test a few months ago, the valve systems lasted much longer than the non-valve system. In the end all 9 sleet wheats wilted due to heat at the same timeĪdding valves makes no difference in rate of cooling by wheezeworts at average the water inside was around 4500g at 40C And with the sleet wheat only absorbing at a rate of 33.3g/s the semi-full tank in the tile became a thermal buffer absorbing the incoming heat. While it's true control showed signs of heat as soon as the first packets entered the hydroponic tile, it quickly cooled down. The water in it's tank had an average of 50g at 70C waterĪnd the last 3 was control getting the full 10kg/s.

In the second 3 I had one valve set to 100g/s Like the first one it barely showed any water in the tank as it was absorbed quickly HOWEVER there was more water in the tank allowing it to be a buffer. It barely showed any water in the tank as it was absorbed quickly but didn't give the water much chance to cool down so the hydroponic tile tank had an average of less than 10g at 90C water All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos Workshop News Guides Reviews. In the first 3 I had 3 valves set to 33.3g/s. In my test I set up 9 hydroponic farm tiles with growing sleet wheat. With the 3 tiles clearance above, you should be able to add valves without losing any space. With the number of wheezeworts you have, you could probably feed in 90 C water. For example, if you have 3 plants, you can split it three ways and set the valve to 100 g/s. You can have one valve service multiple plants. I found that if you limit how much water there is in a hydroponic tile, the more heat gets deleted by the plant and the longer it takes to overheat.
