Atmos/Air/O2/Machine

[Medieval Peanut]

I'm trying to get an air filter machine/building setup and I'm having a couple of problems. I've watched some youtube vids so I thought I had a good grounding but im doing something wrong.

First I have a station setup inside with an air scrubber --> pressure regulator --> volume pump

i set the regulator to 7000kPa and the pump to 60L but my canister just explode.

I tried to setup my machine with filters and those dont seem to really siphon off any elements like O2. I have a vent and canister come up to a regulator and pump (im trying to find the right pressure on my machine before I set these), it goes up to a set of 4 filters. each filter pipes down to a canister of the filtered element and is ordered, Volatiles --> Nitrogen --> Pollutants --> O2

I get very little if any of these 4 in the tanks...

I'm also not really sure what I'm doing so I could have this all wrong...

Why you don't use the filtration system? Active vent in the gas room -> filtration station (atmospheric kit) with filter ->pressure regulator -> canister.
With this system I'm always set pressure to maximum on regulator.

I'm not sure exactly what all you're trying to do in this particular room, but I understand some things. I have a 2x2 "gas handling" room where I put gases into the atmosphere and suck it out with a portable air scrubber, then put it into specific canisters via separate pipe networks. That sounds similar to what you're trying to do.

A portable air scrubber will suck in air from the room's atmosphere, only pulling into it what corresponding gas filters you have. I put CO2/N2 in my jetpack canister. So I'll open my waste canister to put CO2 into the room, and some temperature. Then pull out some oxide if I want (10% nitrogen). I have a CO2 filter and an N2 filter in the scrubber. When I turn it on, it pulls it out of the air and into the pipe network via the tank holder platform, or whatever it's called, that it's connected to. The gas within it will automatically equalize in pressure with the length of pipe you have the tank platform connected to.

If you want to filter air that is already in a pipe, you will need a stationary, powered filtration unit which you can build with an atmospherics kit at the hydraulic pipe bender. It will take in the pipe gases, and the output will be whatever you have a filter in it for. The rest of the gas will go out the waste pipe.

Continuing on, your canister is exploding because a volume pump just indiscriminately pumps all the gas forward. I still don't understand the liter setting, I can't tell if it's liters per tick, per second or what, but it seems to just pump and never stop. It's useful for when you want to move gas quickly.

The pressure regulator on the other hand sets the pressure of the pipe network ahead of it to a specific setting. When that setting is reached, it will stop pumping. It works slowly and is useful for stabilizing a system. So because your volume pump keeps pumping, your pressure regulator keeps pumping as well. Until the canister explodes.

You can ditch the volume pump and just use a pressure regulator. I don't know the max for canisters but 5000 kPa seems to be safe. This is what I use.

So,

1) Put gas in air
2) Turn on portable air scrubber with O2 filter, connect to tank holder thingy, to pipe network
3) At end of pipe network, place 1 pressure regulator set to 5000 kPa
4) 1 more piece of pipe because you can't connect a pipe device directly to a gas canister storage
5) Gas canister storage on the end
6) Insert your O2 tank and you've just refilled your O2

Hope that helps. This game's pretty intense.

Portable Tanks 7000~9000kPa all over 9k is quite unstable if the temperature goes up
Canisters ~7000kPa i dont have a problem with this setting

1 Gas Room with Acitve Vent and 1 Arc Furnace ----> 1 Pipe wich divides into 6 different Filtration Units (Pollution.CO2,Oxygen,Nitrogen,Volatile,Water) the waste Output of Each Filtarion Unit build right back in the Pipe System in front of all 6 Filtration Units and each Output Pipe goes into 1 different Tank Connector with a Pressure Regulator between Filtration Output and Tank Input set to 7000kPa and you dont waste anythin ( Attention 6 Pressure Regs,6 Filtration Units and the Furnace + the Active Vent and the 1 Door need alot of power 1 Full Stationary Battery is enough (it needs a bit of time to suck the Pipes dry) ... link all those into 1 Console (with Power Circuit) so you press the Button if you need it

just my 2cents :)

ok thank you for the feedback.

I was trying to do both things. I built a room but that wasn't working so I tried the more simple solution. I saw a post about putting a pump in and i was testing small scale to figure out the larger solution for the building because that wasn't working.

On the small scale with air scrubber solution, removing the pump did the trick but also keepign the regulator under 7500 kPa.

For the building, my issue was that I have a intake area where I can put in a canister (of unfiltered) or turn on the room vent to take the air inside the room. From there it goes toa regulator, to the filters and then another regulator after the filter, a manual turn off switch and then the canister. With my regulator set to 7250kPa all my tanks are filling without exploding and filtering right according to my pda.


thanks for the help/input :)
