Usage
Silanol is best used as a phase-change coolant in high-temperature-range loops. It has the highest latent heat per mol of all reversible phase-change materials, reducing the energy cost of compressing it into a liquid. Its high critical temperature of 822.729 K (549.6 °C) allows it to still liquify and eject heat even on Venus (but not during Vulcan daytime).
However, its extremely low liquid molar density of just 6.25 mols/L (0.16 L/mol) limits how quickly it can be pumped into an Evaporation Chamber, for a maximum achievable evaporation capacity of 15.625 kJ at a 0.25 L/tick flow rate. For medium-temperature applications, a Water or Nitrous Oxide loop can provide superior performance.
However, This does not apply to custom-made evaporation chambers as they can compensate for this shortcoming with liquid intakes capable of a higher flow rate.
Sources
Silanol is planned to be obtained through late-game synthesis[1]. It can also be acquired from Gas traders and rocket mining.

Notes
- Internal game constants refer to it as Coolant.
- Silanol is toxic to all lifeforms, causing damage when breathed at partial pressures above 1kPa.
