Description
Tanks are used to store large amounts of gas. Current-generation tanks are integrated directly into the connected pipe network, rather than acting as separate containers.
The Small Tank requires 1 kit and can store 6000L. The Large Tank requires 5 kits and can store 50000L.
Combined with their high bursting pressure (60 MPa), tanks can store very large quantities of gas. At room temperature (20 °C), a fully pressurized Small Tank can hold approximately 145 kMol of gas, while a fully pressurized Large Tank can hold approximately 1.2 Mmol.
Both Small and Large Tanks are also available in insulated variants, which are constructed using Insulated Tank Kits instead of standard Tank Kits.
Tanks do not have data ports. Information such as pressure, temperature, and gas composition can be measured using a Pipe Analyzer connected to the same pipe network.
