==Description==

<blockquote><q>No amount of automation is complete without some way of moving different items to different parts of a system. The [[Xigo (Faction)|Xigo]] A2B sorter can be programmed via a computer with a [[Sorter Motherboard]] to direct various items into different chute networks. Filtered items are always passed out the righthand side of the sorter, while non filtered items continue straight through.</q> 
'''- Stationpedia'''</blockquote>

'''Mode 0 (Split):''' Items alternate between output lanes automatically. The Output property switches between 0 and 1 after each item.

'''Mode 1 (Filter):''' Requires a [[computer]] with a [[Motherboard|Motherboard (Sorter)]]. Whitelisted items exit one lane, all others exit the alternate lane. When facing the output side (power switch on your right), whitelisted items exit left, rejected items exit right. '''Note:''' Some players report issues with the Motherboard (Sorter) interface. Consider using Mode 2 (Logic) with [[IC10]] as a more reliable alternative.

'''Mode 2 (Logic):''' The sorter waits for [[IC10]] or logic chips to set the Output parameter (0 or 1) before releasing each item. After the item exits, Output resets to -1 automatically. Your controller must set Output for every item - this is intended behavior, not a bug. See [[#Example IC10 sorting script|Example IC10 sorting script]] below for a working implementation.

'''Output orientation:''' When facing outputs with power switch on your right: Output 0 exits right (near power switch), Output 1 exits left.

==Description==
This kit is used to construct an Ice Crusher which can process ice chunks into liquids and/or gases. The Ice Crusher has two outputs at the back. The top port can be connected to [[Pipes]] (yellow) and the lower port can be connected to [[Kit (Liquid Pipe)|Liquid Pipe]] (blue) to extract the products. The top [[pipe]] output is for Gas, and the lower pipe output is for Liquids. A dial on the front can be used to set the output temperature. The Ice Crush will use heat the gas and liquids in it's internal reservoir to the selected temperature.

Different kinds of Ice can be crushed:
:[[Ice (Water)]] produces liquid [[Water]] and [[Nitrogen]] gas (20 mols Water, 5 mols Nitrogen)
:[[Ice (Oxite)]] produces [[Oxygen]] and [[Nitrogen]] gas (22.5 mols Oxygen, 2.5 mols Nitrogen)
:[[Ice (Volatiles)]] produces [[Methane]] and [[Hydrogen]] gas (20 mols Methane, 2 mols Hydrogen)
:[[Ice (Nitrice)]] produces [[Nitrogen]] and [[Nitrous_Oxide]] gas (22.5 mols Nitrogen, 2.5 mols [[Nitrous]] Oxide)

==Usage==
The Ice Crusher can be used for a number of purposes including bulk gas collection, [[fuel]] mixing, collecting drinking water, and producing breathable air.

===Bulk Gas collection===
Large quantaties of ice can be crushed in the Ice crusher and then pumped to a [[tank|storage tank]] for later use. Most naturally occurring ices will have more than one constituent and the resulting gases will need to be [[Filtration|filtered]].

===Refilling Water Bottles Early Game===
The ice crusher can be used to get drinkable water early on, by connecting it to a [[Water Bottle Filler]] using [[Kit (Liquid Pipe)|Liquid Pipe]] and piping the [[Nitrogen]] out with a pump or an [[Active Vent]] to avoid blocking the ice crusher. Note however that if done inside, this could [[lead]] to [[pressure]] accumulating over [[time]], which could be dangerous if not eventually upgraded to a more robust gas handling system.

===Fuel mixing===
A crude but serviceable fuel mixture can be made by feeding Volatile and Oxite into the Ice Crusher at a 2:1 ratio. The result will not be an ideal fuel mixture, but will perform acceptably well in the [[Welding_Torch|welder]], [[Portable_Generator|portable generator]], [[furnace]] and [[Advanced_Furnace|advanced furnace]].

===Breathable air===
Breathable air can be produced by feeding Oxite into the Ice Crusher. This will yield 90% 02 and 10% Nitrogen. When using this air for you spacesuit you will need a Nitrogen [[filter]].

==Notes==
* It can be safely used in higher temperature environments if the ice is transferred instantly into the crusher from the [[Mining Belt|mining belt]].
* When using it for crushing [[Ice (Water)]], 20% [[Nitrogen]] gas is still produced, and care must be taken to avoid overpressurization over time.
* It is insulated, so only the built in heater and the addition of gases from melting ice can change its internal temperature.
* Must be kept turned on to release the liquids and/or gases it contains.
* Has an internal capacity of 200L.
* Will not explode from overpressure of its internal capacity, but will stop crushing ice and flash an error if its internal pressure exceeds 125 MPa. It will resume crushing once its internal pressure drops below approximately 121 MPa.
* Outputs gas at a maximum rate of 9.231 MPa per [[tick]] into a single pipe segment (exactly 20 MPa into 6 pipe segments every 13 ticks), stopping once its internal pressure equals the pressure of the output port. This drops its internal pressure by 0.4615 MPa per tick.
* Can generate gas from crushing ice substantially faster than its maximum gas output rate, at a rate of approximately 5 MPa to its internal capacity per tick spent crushing ice.
* Changing the 'Setting' Value (represented in Kelvin) with the dial or IC/Logic [[circuits]] can dramatically speed up crushing times. For example, I changed my [[volatiles]] crusher from the default value to 273k(ice crusher are capped at 0°C/273.5k) and was able to process a stack of 50 volatiles in only 5 seconds.
* Liquid output only exports water. Water is the only product that condenses inside the crusher. Products like [[Nitrous Oxide]] will be exported to the gas output, even if the temperature/pressure is sufficient for condensation.

'''Kit:''' The item used to build the component. These are the names as they appear in fabrication lists, which does not always match the true name of the item. Except where noted, all of these items are manufactured with a [[Hydraulic Pipe Bender]].

'''Input/Output:''' "Generic" connections are pipe fittings that are not explicitly for input or output. "Space" indicates an interface to fluids that are not contained in pipes (e.g., the atmosphere or the contents of a room). "Clamp-on" components have no fittings of their own; they clamp onto an existing Straight Pipe.

'''One-way:''' Does the component prevent fluid from flowing the wrong way, from output to input?

'''Switched:''' Does it prevent all flow when switched off or unpowered? Except where noted, switched components can be switched either manually or using [[Kit (Logic I/O)|logic circuits]].

'''Compressor:''' Will it actively increase pressure in the output and decrease pressure in the input? If no, the component only allows pressure to change toward equilibrium between input and output, or it does not enable any pressure changes.

'''Max. Pressure:''' The component will begin to fail when pressure exceeds this. More precisely, this is the maximum ''difference'' in pressure between the component's internal volume and the surrounding space. Some components list "60 MPa" because attached pipes will fail, even if the true limit of the component itself is unknown. Even where a higher limit is known (e.g., canisters), this limitation still holds and places a practical maximum on most setups.

'''Note 1:''' While the Pipe Gas Mixer will actively compress from output to input, it will stop when either input is empty, to preserve the mix ratio.

'''Note 2:''' The Wall Cooler's one-way, switched, and "compressor" qualities apply only to the heat exchange. It does not directly affect the pressure or flow in its attached pipe.

'''Note 3:''' The Active Vent will ''fail'' at ? MPa. The pressure at which it will stop pumping is configurable through the data network and defaults to 0 Pa for Inward mode and 101 kPa (1 standard atmosphere) for Outward mode.

'''Note 4:''' These Volume and Max. Pressure ratings reflect the limits of the removable canisters and tanks. Note that the 101 MPa limit of a Gas Canister is considerably higher than the 60 MPa overall limit of a pipe network.

'''Note 5:''' Regulators themselves have no inner atmosphere and thus no inner pressure that would break them.

[[File:Phase Diagram of Nitrous Oxide.png|thumb|Phase Diagram of Nitrous Oxide]]

= Description =
{{Stationpedia|Nitrous oxide is a reactive gas that will knock players out if inhaled. It acts as an oxidizer for combustion, and allows [[Volatiles|volatiles]] to burn significantly hotter, faster, and at a lower autoignition temperature. It can be produced in an energy intensive process inside of a [[Nitrolyzer]].}}

Nitrous Oxide, also referred to as N2O or Nitrous, is a reactive [[Gas|gas]] primarily used for its role in the creation of [[Fuel#Gas_Fuel|Superfuel]]. Nitrous Oxide naturally occurs when smelting [[Ore_(Lead)|lead]] and [[Ore_(Silver)|silver]]. It can also be acquired by [[Ice Crusher|crushing]] [[Nitrice]]

= Details =
Nitrous Oxide will condense into Liquid Nitrous Oxide at a very low [[pressure]] and temperature. Due to this, Nitrous Oxide is best stored as a liquid above {{Temperature|252}}. [[Stationeers]] are advised to monitor pipelines when setting up Nitrous Oxide gas systems as ruptures may occur if the temperature remains unchecked.

Nitrous Oxide can be combined with [[Methane]] at a 1:1 ratio to create [[Fuel#Gas_Fuel|Superfuel]]. Superfuel combusts at {{Temperature|323.15}}, burning much hotter and quicker than [[Fuel#Gas_Fuel|Fuel]].

While Nitrous Oxide can be acquired through smelting [[ores]] and crushing ice, it can also be created via the [[Nitrolyzer]] using a combination of [[Nitrogen]] and [[Oxygen]].

== Notes ==
* For [[rocketry]], Nitrous Oxide has a mass of about 21.74 mol/kg, giving the 1:1 [[fuel]] mix an average molar mass of ~32.258 mol/kg compared to 62.5 for a [[Fuel#Gas_Fuel|Fuel]] mix. 
* Many Nitrous Oxide storage builds will include a [[Phase Change guide#Heating_.2F_Cooling_with_phase_change_loops|condensation trap]] to avoid [[pipe]] ruptures.
* [[Alien Mushroom]]s breathe Nitrous Oxide and exhale oxygen and nitrogen.
