Description
Used to cool or warm the liquid within pipes.
Works pretty much the exact same way as a Pipe Radiator except, this one works with liquids.
It comes in 2 flavors, selected by moving the mouse wheel;
Convection Radiators have a grill on one side of the pipe, which exchanges and balances the temperature of the gasses inside the pipe with the environment. As they do require an environment, they have no use in a vacuum, but still provide a more reliable, cheaper though slower alternative to Wall Coolers when used inside a station (pressurized room or collection of rooms).
Radiation Radiators add radiator sheets around the pipe, radiating the heat even into a vacuum. As they only radiate and don't capture, they can only be used to cool down the piped gasses and they do so at a much slower rate. This is the only viable (apart from the Pipe Radiator) method of shedding excess heat without venting gasses or otherwise sacrificing resources.
- In an atmosphere the radiators will convert energy based on their temperature and the atmosphere.
- If the pipe has a higher temperature then they will transfer heat into the room.
- If the pipe has a lower temperature then they will receive heat from the room.
- Without an atmosphere they will radiate heat into space. Note that they will receive a little energy if the sun shines on them due to the solar constant (The ability for pipe radiators to absorb thermal energy in any environment in game is contested).
