Description
The water purifier is used to reclaim polluted water water back into pure water at the expense of charcoal.
Usage
To operate, the purifier requires 2 liquid pipe connections and an optional chute connection.
- Liquid input Pipe input for polluted water to be processed
- Liquid output Pipe output for clean water as well as all other non-polluted-water liquids that happen to be in the input pipe
- Chute input Charcoal to be placed in the slot manually or by an automated chute network
When charcoal is present and any liquid is in the input pipe, the water purifier will pull a certain number of L/tick from the input pipe mixture and process it to the output pipe, converting all present polluted water into pure water. The volume of liquids processed starts at 0.025 L/tick on no pressure difference and goes up to 0.15 L/tick at a 60 atm pressure difference. If the input network is at a higher pressure, some gas will leak from it to the output in the process.
Notes
- 1g charcoal is consumed for every 40 mols of polluted water that is processed, no charcoal is consumed when processing any regular liquids/gases that end up in the input mixture.
- The conversion of polluted water to pure water is one to one, meaning a filled Shower/Water Purifier loop will never need new water added to it.
- The device will always consume 50 Watts when switched on, regardless of if it is processing or not.
- Polluted water evaporates into Steam, which condenses back into water instead of polluted water. A vacuum extraction system can avoid the need for charcoal altogether, but introduces additional complexities.
