Description

Used to mix two gases in proportions ranging from 0-100%. A must have for the Furnace. Input 1 is the straight thorough route, and Input 2 is the side entry.

Setting

The setting wheel is set in percent of input 1. Holding 'c' allows you to set the dial in 1 percent increments. It's possible to set the ratio with an arbitrary precision using the labeler or a Logic Writer, but the dial will always show rounded to the nearest percent when you look at it.

Temperature Dependence

The gas mixer will mix the input gases based on moles of gas in the ratio provided by the setting, but only if the gases at input 1 and input 2 are at the same temperature. This means if you're trying to mix Volatiles and Oxygen at a 2:1 ratio, make sure both input gases are at the same temperature.

While the gas mixer ignores input pressures, the mixer will take more moles of the colder gas than you would expect. For instance, if you set the gas mixer to a 1:1 ratio and both inputs contain just Carbon Dioxide, input 1 at 2000 K and input 2 at 1000K, it will take twice as much of the gas from input 2, so your resultant gas will be Carbon Dioxide at 1333.33 K.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

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
Lock Boolean
Setting float Correspond to the percentage value of the Input 1
On Boolean

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
Error Boolean
Lock Boolean
Setting float Contains the current Input 1 value in percent (60.5 for example)
Maximum float Value of 100
Ratio Float Contains the ratio corresponding to the Input 1 value (0.605, for the 60.5 value above)
On Boolean
Requiredpower Integer In Watts. The Gas Mixer require 100W of power to function
