Build The Ultimate Hydra/FSPOM Design
Input: 9 kg Water /s
Output: 7.992 kg Oxygen, 1.008 kg Hydrogen
Exploits: Pseudo-Flooding, Infinite Gas Storage, Infinite Liquid Storage
Description:
This fully modular design can support the Oxygen needs for a colony up to 80 standard Dupliucants. The output Hydrogen is sent to a Hydrogen Power Plant consisting of 10 Hydrogen Generators, resulting in 8000 W power production.
The number of Gas Pumps needed depends on the number of Duplicants in the colony. For example, if the colony consists of 10 standard Duplicants, only 2 Gas Pumps are required in the Oxygen Chamber. As the colony expands, a Duplicant in an Atmo Suit can enter the Oxygen chamber and construct the additionally needed pumps. The primary power draw is from the Gas Pumps in the Oxygen Chamber, so the power surplus will be much greater the smaller the colony.
Pseudo-Flooding the Electrolyzers is achieved by dumping a very small amount of 2 different liquids onto them. In the example images, 200 kg Salt Water and 200 kg Brine were dumped on each Electrolyzer, but any liquid that maintains its state at 95 C will work fine. It is advised, though not strictly necessary, to not use a liquid that off-gases, such as Polluted Water, as this will continue to contaminate the gas chambers with Polluted Oxygen until the air pressure prevents off-gas.
An optional cooling system is installed to the left of the Oxygen Chamber. A single Thermo Aquatuner is just *barely* insufficient at cooling all 8000 grams of Oxygen. If only one is used, the cooling chamber will rise in temperature about 1 degree every 10 cycles. For this reason, 2 Thermo Aquatuners are necessary when using 16 Gas Pumps for Oxygen, but the Thermo Aquatuners only active about half of the time. This ensures the output Oxygen is at 20 C.
An optional Infinite Liquid Storage chamber is installed to the right of the Electrolyzer Room. This can be useful for storing any surplus water that will serve as a contingency buffer during geyser/vent dormancy periods.
