Gases: Pumps, pressure and throughput

[Yuccasu]

I have come accross different types of active pipe components:
- Volume Pump
- Pressure Regulator
- Back pressure Regulator
- Filter (atmospherics)
- Mixer
- Active Vent

They all seem to have some pumping capabilities. Has anyone figured out how they compare concering
- suction power (it seems to me they all can produce vacuum)
- throughput
- max. pressure
?

Would be nice to have a table.

Volume Pump pumps as it stated volumes through you piping system, it can go from 1Litre to max 100 litres throughput.

Pressure regulator puts a max limit of pressure something holds, IE, you want 1000KpA pressure for steel in the furnace, dail the pressure regulator too 1000KpA and it never goes beyond.
I use this ofc to regulate Tank Presure, furnace and my airflow in the base.

Mixer well it does at it states, it mixes 2 gases together, the dail regulates how much of each gass it put through, again for steel a 25/75% N2/O2 is needed, and you mix this with this device.

Atmospherics (Filet/Airco) are the big brothers of the portable versions, with one you regulate air temprature (Airco Unit) and the Filter well filters gasses, it has a waste output that you can put into a other filer, and thus max a chain of filters with each storing the waste in a seperate tank.

Avtive Vent is a ventilator that you mostly use for Airlock systems, as it can function on its own for pressurising depressurizing small rooms.
More as 1x1x1 it cannot handle well, also it can be used to vent the furnace and blow of pressure and heat if the furnace is too hot after wrong mixture.

ofcourse these are just basic examples, with some creativity you can do alot more with these devices.

.

should be 33%/66% H2/O2 Otherwise you get unreacted O2 or H2 in the output.

This is obvious from the name, the problem is - how fast it works. It is defimetely slower then volume pump or Filter (atmospherics), but how fast is it exactly?

AC (atmospherics) unit can only process 9L of volume per tick.
