Active vents use power to move gas from and to pipes and the exterior. Its functionality depends on its mode:
 
−
* in "Outward mode" (switch in blue), the vent increases the external pressure (by moving gas from the pipes to the exterior) up to "PressureExternal", by default(*) equal to 101 kPa
 
−
* in "Inward mode" (switch in red), the vent decreases the external pressure (by moving gas from the exterior to the pipes) down to "PressureExternal", by default(*) equal to 0 kPa
 
  
−
"PressureExternal" and "PressureInternal" values should be modified programmatically via IC10 scripts, as they reset to default values on mode change. Values can be set through logic chips, if the value is modified after a mode change. Switching logic chips off then on will not modify values on the active vent, the values supplied to the chips must be altered for the values to be written.

(*) This is the reason why airlocks need an internal pressure of at least 100 kPa to work correctly. This behavior can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa.  Manually-operated "airlocks" for greenhouses can not pump back up to Loulan atmosphere during the exit cycle.  If the pressure is already >101kPa the vent will have no effect, and if it is <101kPa the vent will stop when it reaches 101kPa.

Description

The Active Vent moves gas between the connected Pipe Network and the surrounding atmosphere. It requires electric power to work (100 Watt). Its functionality depends on the selected mode:

  • In "Outward mode" (switch in blue), it increases the external pressure by moving gas from the pipe network to the surrounding atmosphere, up to "PressureExternal", by default(*) equal to 101 kPa
  • In "Inward mode" (switch in red), it decreases the external pressure by moving gas from the surrounding atmosphere to the pipe network, down to "PressureExternal", by default(*) equal to 0 kPa

The "PressureExternal"

"PressureExternal" and "PressureInternal" values can be modified using logic chips or programmatically via IC10 scripts.

Note: These values reset to default values on mode change. Values can be set through logic chips, if the value is modified after a mode change.

Note: Switching logic chips off then on will not modify values on the active vent, the values supplied to the chips must be altered for the values to be written.

(*) This is the reason why airlocks need an internal pressure of at least 100 kPa to work correctly. This behavior can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa. Manually-operated "airlocks" for greenhouses can not pump back up to Loulan atmosphere during the exit cycle. If the pressure is already >101kPa the vent will have no effect, and if it is <101kPa the vent will stop when it reaches 101kPa.

To calculate the moles per tick, use the following equation:

n = (P * V) / (R * T)

Where (Inward vent):

  • P = Min(Room pressure, 10.1325 kPa)
  • V = 8000 l
  • n = Moles per tick
  • R = Gas constant (8.3144)
  • T = Room temperature

Where (Outward vent):

  • P = Min(Pipe pressure, 10.1325 kPa)
  • V = Pipe volume in l
  • n = Moles per tick
  • R = Gas constant (8.3144)
  • T = Pipe temperature

(These do not take into account the constraints imposed by "PressureExternal" and "PressureInternal")

Note: In order to get the proper units out of this calculation you need to use either kilopascal (kPa) and litre (l), or Pascal (Pa) and cubic meters (m3).

Note: The insert slot currently takes any item and seems to have no effect.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Mode Values

These lists the values and meanings for the "Mode" property of the Active Vent.

Value Meaning
0 "Outward" mode (Moves gas from the connected pipe network to the surrounding atmosphere.)
1 "Inward" mode (Moves gas from the surrounding atmosphere to the connected pipe network.)

Data Parameters

These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).


Parameter Name Data Type Description
Open Boolean Does not function.
Mode Integer Set the Active Vent mode. (See Mode Values)
PressureExternal Float "Outward" mode: Maximum pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. The default value is 101.325 (kPa).
"Inward" mode: Minimum pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. The default value is 0 (kPa).
PressureInternal Float "Outward" mode: Minimum pipe network pressure. The default value is 0 (kPa).
"Inward" mode: Maximum pipe network pressure. The default value is 50662.5 (kPa).
Lock Boolean Lock the Active Vent when set to 1. Manual operation is not possible while locked.
Setting Float Does not function.
On Boolean Turn on the Active Vent when set to 1.

Note: The value of "PressureExternal" and "PressureInternal" will be reset to the default when changing modes. Note: If turned on, the vent will still consume energy when the target pressure is reached.

Data Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Output Name Data Type Description
Power Boolean Returns whether the Active Vent is receiving power and is turned on. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Open Boolean Returns whether the Active Vent is open. (0 for no, 1 for yes) (Untested)
Mode Integer Returns the current mode of the Active Vent. (See Mode Values)
Error Boolean Returns whether the Active Vent is currently flashing an error. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
PressureExternal Float Returns the desired external pressure of the Active Vent.
PressureInternal Float Returns the desired internal pressure of the Active vent. (Untested)
Lock Boolean Returns whether the Active Vent is locked. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Setting Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 100.0. (Assumption) Returns the percentage amount of pumping throughput of the Active Vent.
Maximum Integer Returns 100. (Assumption) Returns the maximum throughput percentage of the Active Vent.
Ratio Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. (Assumption) Returns the percentage amount of pumping throughput of the Active Vent.
On Boolean Returns whether the Active Vent is set to on. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
RequiredPower Integer Returns the current amount of power needed for the Active Vent.
