Hydrogen vent near AETN, need suggestions

[postal638]

Hi and thank you for your time. Still pretty new here and could use advice.

1. Was excited to find a hydrogen vent not too far away from my base in a cold climate. Then found out it produces enough heat to quickly get everything over 200 degrees. Do all hydrogen vents produce the same amount of heat?

2. About 50 or so blocks to the right and about 10 up is an AETN which I have never used before. It feels like I should be able to do something with this combination being so close. Perhaps I can pump enough hydrogen to the AETN to start cooling the massive amounts of heat about to melt my air pump. Does this have potential? I might be able to come up with enough steel for a pump or two. My abandoned hatch farm left me many eggs shells...

3. My guess is that a solution might involve transferring the heat/cold across those 50 blocks quickly so the heat gets under control before it melts everything. Would some sort of tempshift plate grid across a tunnel connecting the two work? If so:

4. Does anyone have an image of what something like this would look like?

5. Should the tunnel be wide to allow for more gas, or narrow to focus the heat exchange?

6. Best material available in early game to make the plates from?

7. I read something about tempshift plates affecting a 3x3 grid around them. Does this mean you should leave 2 empty spaces between them? Or is filling every background space with them more effective?

8. What is the best kind of door to prevent all that heat from escaping the vent/AETN area and still leave it accessible? My manual lock started leaking heat like crazy.

How many cycle are you now? I think only steel that can withstand 200C++. Maybe weezwort can help reduce it? Since they are the best working on hydrogen env.

For the door you can create 3 layers of manual airlock door, and permanent open the middle one. Open door = vacuum. Vacuum is the best to prevent heat leaking. I've test this last week and working like a charm.

Yes h2 vents always produce hot h2.

Build a small room for your h2 vent. Make the roof out of metal or diamond glass tiles. Build a small room on top with the metal tiles as floor, but otherwise made from insulated tiles. Put water in this room. Place a steam turbine on the roof of this room. Take the water exhaust form the steam turbine and vent it in the steam/water room.

Now your h2 room will be around 130°C which means a steel pump will have no trouble surviving. And you get a small amount of free power from the steam turbine. Put an atmo sensor on the pump and set it to above 1kg.

You can cool the turbine with the aetn, and you will have lots of capacity left.

3.
A Tempshift plate network would work but it would probably be easier to pump liquid into a loop between the AETN and the hydrogen vent.
Place some temp shift plates at the vent and the AETN to help transfer the heat,
Just pumping some of the excess hydrogen would probably work pretty well too

5.
3 Wide tunnels works great for both gas flow and temp shift plates.

6. Refined alumiunium is amazing if you have it.
Any metal is good.
Granite or dirt works ok if that's all you have.

7.
Tempshift plates try and even out the temperature across the 9 tiles.
Building them every 2nd tile will pull the temperature gradients along the line of temp shift plates.
