Nitrolyzer

Overview

Nitrolyzer (StructureNitrolyzer) in Stationeers: device, hash 1898243702, 10 W. With build steps, 141 IC10 logic values and connection diagram.

The nitrolyzer produces nitrous oxide (Nitrous Oxide) from Nitrogen and Oxygen. It has two gas inputs (Input and Input2), one gas output, an inner chamber of 10 litres, a chip slot and separate ports for data and power. It comes from the Kit (Atmospherics) and is placed in a single step.

This is how the game code calculates:

Each tick it draws 1.5 mol of gas into the chamber, 0.75 mol from each input when both are connected. Which input gets which gas does not matter – premixed air on one input works too.
Efficiency is highest when the chamber holds only nitrogen and oxygen at a 1:1 ratio. Then 30 % of both react. At 2:1 it is only 15 %, and other gases lower it further. Both must make up at least 1 %.
2 mol of consumed gas become 1 mol of nitrous oxide. At best that is 0.225 mol per tick.
On the next tick the whole chamber content goes to the output – nitrous oxide and the unused rest.

A calculation: for 100 mol of nitrous oxide it needs at best 100 / 0.225 ≈ 445 ticks, a good 3.5 minutes. Along with it, about 4.7 mol of nitrogen and oxygen per mole of nitrous oxide arrive at the output. A Filtration with a nitrous oxide filter separates it; you can feed the rest back.

For it to work, it needs On = 1 and Mode = 1 (Active). Idle it draws 50 W, and 6,000 W as soon as it forms nitrous oxide. It sets Activate to 1 by itself while doing so – that is feedback, not a switch. The worse the ratio, the more of the energy ends up as heat in the gas. Setting appears in the logic list but is not used. You can measure …Input, …Input2, …Output and, without suffix, the chamber.

In the game nitrous oxide is an oxidiser just like oxygen. With more than 1 mol of nitrous oxide, the autoignition temperature of fuels drops by 250 K and the heat of combustion doubles. Keep the line away from fuels. More in Filtration: separating gases, changing filters, getting rid of waste gases and Gases and mixtures: breathing air, gas mixer, partial pressure.
