Description
Helium is a fully inert gas that will neither freeze nor condense into liquid, making it an excellent working gas in atmospherics systems that must avoid phase change.
- Stationpedia
Usage
Helium is the only monoatomic gas in-game, giving it an unrivaled heat capacity ratio of 1.666666. This, along with its low molar mass, give make it ideal as a pressurant in specialized rocketry applications where Hydrogen isn't suitable.
It is also completely inert, being incapable of freezing or condensing into a liquid form. This allows its use as a non-phase-changing heat exchange medium in extremely low temperature applications.
Notes
- Breathing helium will increase pitch of vocal efforts.
Sources
Helium can be acquired from gas traders and Rocket Gas Collectors.
