Adding Hydrocarbons, IE coal, will increase the pressure.

I have also found that adding Hydrocarbons, IE coal, will increase the pressure.

Contains two embedded [[Special:MyLanguage/Pipe Volume Pump|volume pumps]] to control flow in and out, in order to use them, the furnace must be powered, and setting both to zero will put the furnace in a state of quiescence, but the furnace will slowly lose pressure and temperature. The capacity of the furnace is in excess of 5kg of materials so it is possible to make a full 500g ingot of an advanced alloy in one go.

Contains [[Special:MyLanguage/Pipe Volume Pump|volume pumps]] to control flow in and out. The input pump is not closed though on setting 0, so if there is no [[Special:MyLanguage/Pipe Valve|valve]] or something similar closing off the input slot, the gas in the whole feeding pipeline and possible the fuel tank will start burning the instant you activate the furnace.

== Usage ==
 
−
 
−
While it is possible to operate the advanced furnace similar to a regular furnace (add fuel, ignite, add ore), the two most common setups for advanced furnaces are:
 
−
* fuel mixing
 
−
* hot and cold mixing
 
−
 
−
=== fuel mixing ===
 
−
[[File:Advanced-furnace-gas-mixing.png|thumb|rudimentary setup for mixing H2, O2, and dilutant]]
 
−
In this setup, the furnace's input is connected to a gas mixer to provide fuel, and often a dilutant (used to increase the pressure without spending extra fuel).  The [[Furnace temperature and pressure math]] article contains formulas useful for crafting recipes to hit temperature and pressure targets.
 
−
 
−
== hot and cold mixing ==
 
−
 
−
This setup involves a hot tank and a cold tank of gasses, which are then mixed to achieve a target temperature and pumped in to achieve the target pressure.  On most worlds maintaining a cold tank is quite easy (because the atmosphere on most worlds is below the temperature needed to smelt ore).  Maintaining a hot tank is a little trickier, and either involves a lot of energy spent on [[Pipe Heater]]s, or an auxiliary furnace to combust fuel and pipe the exhaust into an insulated tank. Another easier option is to have the entire setup, furnace, pipes and tanks, in an enclosed vacuum chamber, so heat remains in the gases. Note that the outside atmosphere on worlds with no air doesn't count, it must be an enclosed chamber with all air pumped out
