Gas condensation

From Unofficial Stationeers Wiki

While gas condensing into liquid is a problem that can lead to burst pipes and system failure, it can also be used to transfer energy between atmospheres.

Liquid Volatiles, Oxygen, and Nitrous Oxide are useful in Rocketry. Liquid Nitrogen is useful with Cryotubes to resurrect incapacitated players.

While there are devices like Condensation Valve , Expansion Valve, Pressurant Valve, and Purge Valve, the real workhorses are the Evaporation Chamber and Condensation Chamber built from the Kit (Phase Change Device).

This diagrams oversimplifies a few things. The condensers can fill the liquid pipes to bursting under some transient conditions.

  • it is necessary to set the pollutant condenser to 3150-600*(VolumeOfLiquid/Volume) kPa[1]. This will tune the condenser to match the consumption of the gang of pollutant evaporators.
  • It is necessary to set the gang of volatiles condensers to 4400-2000(VolumeOfLiquid/Volume) kPa[2]. This will tune the condensers to match the consumption of the volatiles evaporator.
