| + | |||
| + | Where: | ||
| + | * P = Min(Input pressure, 101.325) | ||
| + | * V = (OutputPipeVolume / InputPipeVolume) * 100 | ||
| + | * n = Moles per tick | ||
| + | * R = Gas constant (8.3144) | ||
| + | * T = Input temperature | ||

* Regulator: Gas will only pass when the pressure at the output is below the Regulator's setting. | * Regulator: Gas will only pass when the pressure at the output is below the Regulator's setting. | ||
* Compressor: While active, the Regulator will move ''all'' available gas from input to output, up to the set pressure. (Contrast with, for example, a [[Pipe Valve]] which simply equalizes pressure and then stops.) | * Compressor: While active, the Regulator will move ''all'' available gas from input to output, up to the set pressure.
