No, the AC unit was completely reworked

Does this work with the new update?

Just copy the settings of the first one to the second.

How would I get the second air conditioner to copy the other one ( cooling ac 1 and 2 ).

Ps. I'm rather new to Ic

ahh, looks like the whole thing starts to behave more normally once you start actually extracting heat from the hot side. once i attached a heat exchanger the crazy temperatures went down withing seconds. probably some kind of glitch...they were up to over 100K C before, though :-D

maybe i still have something wrong, but it seems to be wrong in a glorious way :-) my cold side is now cooling, its at -55 C by now. But the hot side is REALLY getting hot. It's currently at 36k C ... yes, thats 36 THOUSAND! And the rate in temperature change is accellerating the hotter it gets! I'm actually kinda scared where it might go if i let it. weird thing is, the pressure stays constant at around 300 kPa and the moles in the hot tube are constant as well. how is that even possible? with the same amount of moles, same volume but rising temperature the pressure should be rising, too, right?

you could probably build a perpetual motion machine, using the heat to get power from a stirling engine for example. i bet you get more than the ~650W you need to run the A/C's out of the 36K hot gas :-)

you might have made the same mistake that i did initially. what the IC expects as the hot pump is actually the pump that sits on the cold side, and vice versa. look at the screenshot...the blue pump is in the red pipes and vice versa. after i fixed that it worked for me. before that i had the same symptoms you did.

yes, the volume pups run on 4L on the hot side and 3L on the cold side

Not sure why, you may have the setup wrong if it never reaches 73.15K (-200C) on the cold side. For the cold AC to even output gas the hot side needs to be above 100kPa and the same for hot AC. Were you using insulated pipes?

works quite well for me, but it wont reach the wanted temperatures, idk if there is not enough gas in the system or just the world being funky (had this on a custom world where it just acted weird). cold side sits around 900kPA and the hotside around 2MPA

Works amazing! Super energy efficient, very handy on Vulcan!

The code here is mainly just a template, you can change it as per needed for more then one AC. The main script can calculate the setting for one hot and cold pump and you can just copy that setting to another one

confused here you build 2 cold AC but your IC support only 1 cold AC was that a mistake ?
The Pez  [作者] 2021 年 6 月 5 日 上午 9:18 
The AC can remove or add 6000J of energy each game tick, so the volume pump limits how much gas it gets each tick so that it always achieves the set temp. In terms of power usage, so long as the volume pumps input and waste of the AC are connected the AC will always use about 300W, as the AC's power calculation is based on input-waste difference, not input-output difference.

what is the total energy used? Does the AC use more power based on the difference between the set temperature and the waste?
