automate water cooling

[Ruthless_Potato]

so i'm trying to design a new system for water cooling by fully submerged of the water cooler in liquid and when the liquid is too high to dump him and refill. the problem is i can't just adjust the bottom doors (the doors that open when the temperature is too high) to only open for a second the immediately close to allow for me to refill it . can anyone help ? i need to know if it's at all possible based on incoming signal to open and close the doors but only for a second and ignore the incoming signal for a set time.

Use Buffer and Filter gates to make required timings.

first off isolate the different situation you need for this design:

bottom door: open when too warm; close when empty
top door: open with delay when empty; close when full
aquatuner: disabled as long as there is anything else true

i dont really undersdand this so i show you my problam .
this is when im emptying the tank when the water is too hot:

and this is when i'm refilling:

the problam is that i want for the upper door to either stay closed when not needed or for a timer for when acting on the bottom door . you see any solution? or can you help?

Buffer gate? Filter gate?
You could also use a memory gate.

My main concern with those setups is: where do you dump the water?
Usually AT are combined with Steam-Generators to return some energy while also deleating the heat, rather than just dumping it somewhere.

actually it's part of a bigger hole. but in general i'm recycling the water to the same cooler it's better then when i used to cool the water cooler with a closed loop of hydrogen and then delete all this excess heat on power production. with using water instead it's more self contained and self feeding and ther's no need for so much space. but buffer gates don't work because i'm keep sending continuous signal and because of this they either stay open while filling the tank or stay closed while i want them to empty the tank just of one second. this is way i came for the forums for help i can't figure how to put it to work.

thats what my setup takes into account because it also incorporates the waterlevel within the chamber.the bottom doors open when it gets too hot AND(-Gate) theres water in the chamber reaching the lower sensor.
it will then vent the liquid and open the top doors a couple seconds later (via a filter/buffer delay and a NOT-Gate). that time will be enough to vent and close the bottom doors.
once the chamber is filled to the brim (top hydro sensor) the top doors will close again. preferebly you have a second chamber on top thats filling up in the meantime.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with this heat in the long run-are you dumping the hot liquid somewhere you'll worry about later?

You are overcomplicating this - there is no need for the door at the top. Place liquid vent inside the aquatuner room.

In regards to controlling aquatuner, rather than connecting it to the thermo sensor with a NOT gate in between, I would make the room 3 tiles wide, place the hydro sensor at the bottom, and enable aquatuner only if there is 50 kg of water in there.

If the bottom doors don't stay open long enough to drop all liquid - add a buffer gate between thermo sensor and the doors.
If they stay open for too long, add a hydro sensor at the top of the room, and make the doors open only if temperature is above certain threshold AND there is liquid in the room ("above 950kg" should do).

And if you want something more end-game, here is a more complex system: https://steamcommunity.com/app/457140/discussions/0/1639793203779161217/

If you were willing to only partially dump your tank you could have the tuner running at all times with three sensors and some gates. You would need 1 thermo sensor and two hydro sensors. One hydro sensor goes at the top level of the tuner, another is placed at the "full" level of the tank. The lower doors are wired to the output of a memory gate. The logic for operating the lower doors goes like this: Doors open when the thermo senor trips (wired to input) and doors close when the lower hydro sensor goes off (wired to reset). I would replace your upper door solution with a liquid shutoff. This way you can use the upper hydro sensor with a filter to refill the tank after it has been purged, but doesn't start filling until the purge is done. The only reason I can see to use a door on the top of the tank in this machine is to rapidly refill the coolant tank, and this can be done with an extra hydro sensor.
Reworking your machine in that fashion should allow the tuner to run at 100% with more rapid cycles. It WILL fail if at any point you run out of water to place into the coolant tank.
