Air Conditioner

- If the *input* network is off from the target temperature by less than 1 degree, no action is performed on a tick.

Otherwise, the air contitioner's internal logic takes place:

- 1 - Try to take contents from its input network into an internal storage (mole-equivalent of 100 liters of gas at the input network temperature and air conditioner's processing capability (guessed to be 1atm, untested), includes both liquids and gases)
- 2 - Transfer 14kJ * OperationalTemperatureEfficiency * TemperatureDifferentialEfficiency of energy between the waste network and the internal network (if either input network before the step 1 pumping or the waste network pressures are below 1atm, scale down by the lowest pressure from that to 0 linearly)
- 3 - Transfer contents from its internal network to its output network

TemperatureDeltaCurve losses can be avoided entirely by connecting the input network and waste network together (as opposed to the typical closed-loop configuration where input and output networks are connected together).

How much is 14kJ? Vulcan night atmosphere (400 K @ 100L, 1atm) would get you 3.046 moles at 23.182 J/mol/K, or a drop of ~201 K (which would get hampered by the OperationalTemperatureEfficiency still not being that high).

Wall Cooler

Checks if pressure on both pipes is above armstrong limit (6.3 kPa), transfers 1kJ * TemperatureDifferentialEffficiency of energy per tick from the environment to the pipe network. Although no OperationalTemperatureEfficiency curve is present, this would only be more efficient than an air conditioner on situations where it'd be <5% (assuming the TemperatureDifferentialEfficiency curve is the same as the Air Conditioner's. Untested.)
