Description

Used to separate gasses from one pipe network into another using filters. Can filter up to two (2) gases at once. Guide (Filtration) provides additional information regarding the function, construction, and operation of a Filtration unit.

Usage

Once you have placed the Filtration Unit in your desired location, there are 3 separate connections that will need to be made:

1. Input - Starting gas network that you want to filter from
2. Output - Filtered gas
3. Waste - Remaining unfiltered gas from the input

Place the appropriate filter(s) in the Filtration unit for the particular gas that your want to filter.

Be aware that the filtration unit unrealistically has an infinitely powerful pump integrated into its output port. That means as long as it is turned on and there is gas to filter out from the input it will pump that filtered out gas into the output pipe network (no matter how high the pressure in that output pipe network already is!). So eventually that pipe network will burst (around 60 MPa) unless you provide some sort of pop-off valve (e.g. a combination of a back-pressure regulator and a passive vent) or use a pipe analyzer and some logic to turn the filtration unit off when a certain amount of pressure is exceeded in the output pipe network. The filtration system can handle an input gas flow of just over 2.3L from a volume pump.

Characteristics

• It has a manual power switch.
• It consumes 10W of Power per Tick when idle and 44W when active.
• It has a separate Power Port and Data Port.
• It has a pipe port (labelled "Input") for the gas mixture from which the designated gas(es) will be filtered.
• It has a pipe port (labelled "Filtered") for the designated gas(es) that have been filtered.
• It has a pipe port (labelled "Unfiltered") for any remaining unfiltered gases.
• It can filter up to 2 different gases at once by inserting two different filters.

Note: When using an I/O slot reader chip, the filter slots are labeled as slot 1, slot 2 and slot 3(IC), with 1 being the slot closer to the inlet. When using an IC chip, the slots are labeled as slot 0, slot1 and slot 2(IC).

User Interface

A Filtration unit provides the following user interface:

Name	Type	Function
Filter (Right)	Slot 0	Port for a gas filter. If gas of the same type is present in the incoming mixture, it will be redirected out the "Filtered" pipe port.
Filter (Left)	Slot 1	Another Port for a gas filter that functions the same as its twin slot. May contain the same or a different filter.
v	Slot 2	IC10 placed in filtration unit (has 2 Input/Outputs)
On	Switch	Switches Filtration unit between turned on or turned off. (On=1/Off=0)

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters, that can be written to with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10). The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Writer's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
On	Boolean	Powers on the Filtration unit on when set to 1. Powers off when set to 0.
Open	Boolean
Setting	Integer
Lock	Boolean
Mode	Boolean	0: idle, 1: Active

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	Returns whether the Filtration unit is turned on and receives power. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Error	Boolean	Returns whether the Filtration unit is flashing an error. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Lock	Boolean	Returns whether the Filtration unit is locked. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
On	Boolean	Returns whether the Filtration unit is turned on. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
RequiredPower	Integer	Returns the current amount of power in Watts required by the Filtration unit.
Quantity	Integer	Returns the current amount of Filter remaining. Slot 0 (Right), slot 1 (Left).

Slot Outputs

Slot 0 and 1 are the two gas filters. Slot 2 is the programmable chip

Output Name	Data Type	Description
Occupied	Boolean	Returns whether the slot is occupied. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
OccupantHash	Integer	Returns the hash of the object in the slot.
Quantity	Integer	Returns the current quantity, such as stack size, of the item in the slot.
Damage	Integer	Returns the damage state of the item in the slot.
Class	Integer	Returns an integer representing the class of object.
MaxQuanity	Integer	Returns max stack size of the item in the slot.
PrefabHash	Integer	Returns the hash of the structure in the slot.
