Description
Silanol is the premium refrigerant gas for utilizing phase change to pump heat. With its extremely high heat capacity it also makes an excellent coolant, able to absorb large quantities of heat energy with minimal temperature fluctuation.
- Stationpedia
Usage
Silanol is best used as a phase-change coolant in high-temperature-range loops. Its high critical temperature of 821.7 K (548.55 °C) allows it to still liquify and eject heat even on Venus (but not during Vulcan daytime).
However, its extremely low molar volume of just 0.16 L/mol (6.25 mols/L) limits how quickly it can be pumped into an Evaporation Chamber, for a maximum achievable evaporation capacity of 15.625 kJ at a 0.25 L/tick flow rate. For medium-temperature applications, a Water loop may provide superior performance.
Sources
Silanol is planned to be obtained through late-game synthesis[1]. It can also be acquired from Gas traders.
