Wall Cooler

Overview

Wall Cooler (StructureWallCooler) in Stationeers: device, hash -739292323, 10 W. With build steps, 43 IC10 logic values and connection diagram.

The wall cooler hangs on a wall and has two ports: a gas pipe and a shared port for power and data. Every tick it removes up to 1,000 J from the room air and passes it to the gas in the pipe. At two ticks per second that is about 2 kW.

Three rules from the game data:

It only works when the room holds more than 6.3 kPa.
It gets worse the larger the difference between pipe gas and room. It runs best with a cooling loop just below room temperature, not with an ice-cold one. At best efficiency it draws about 1,010 W.
It has no target value it holds by itself. Setting does appear in the logic list, but it does not regulate a target temperature with it. You have to switch it on and off from outside, ideally with a chip and a Gas Sensor.

The heat does not vanish – afterwards it sits in the pipe network. So the network needs gas and a way to shed the heat, for example Pipe Convection Radiator outdoors or an Air Conditioner.

A calculation: a room of four cells holds about 1,330 mol of air at normal pressure. At roughly 20.7 J per mole and kelvin that is 27,500 J per kelvin. At 2 kW the temperature drops by one kelvin in just under 14 seconds – walls and devices not counted.

For liquid loops there is the Liquid Wall Cooler. A thermostat program is in Heating and cooling: wall heater, wall cooler, air conditioner, radiators.

Example: address by name

Reads Setting, shows the value on the IC housing and writes On. Name the device with the labeller first; devices with the same name are addressed together.

# Wall Cooler address by name
define DEVICE -739292323  # StructureWallCooler
define NAME HASH("Wall Cooler")  # name in game (labeller)
define TARGET 1  # On 1 = on
alias value r0

start:

lbn value DEVICE NAME Setting 0  # 0 = average of all with this name
bnan value start  # no device with this name
s db Setting value  # show on the housing
sbn DEVICE NAME On TARGET  # set value
