Tank Big (Insulated)

Overview

Tank Big (Insulated) (StructureTankBigInsulated) in Stationeers: device, hash 1280378227, 10 W, 50,000 L. With build steps, 73 IC10 logic values and…

The large insulated tank combines the size of the Large Tank – 50,000 litres on 7 × 8 × 7 spots – with the insulation of the small insulated tank: radiation, convection and solar heating are set to 0 in the game data. At this size that really pays off, because the normal large tank has a lot of surface and reacts strongly to sun and cold.

This version with a data port and readings (Pressure, Temperature, TotalMoles, gas fractions, 10 W) only exists in older saves. Five Kit (Insulated Tank) now build the Tank Big (Insulated): same volume, part of the pipe network, no logic of its own. You then measure it with a Pipe Analyzer on the same network.

A calculation for a cold store: 50,000 litres of nitrogen at 5,000 kPa and −50 °C (223 K) are n = 5,000 · 50,000 / (8.3144 · 223) ≈ 134,800 mol. At 20.6 J per mole and kelvin the gas stores about 2.8 MJ per kelvin. A wall cooler pushing about 2 kW of heat into its pipe would have to run for over 23 minutes to warm this store by a single kelvin.

This tank is also flammable according to the game data (flash point 373.15 K). From a 60,795 kPa difference to the surroundings it takes damage, and if it is destroyed the whole contents end up in one cell. More on planning in Tanks and gas storage: sizes, insulation, safe filling.
