Hot Loop Auto-purge
Tired of your hot loop pipes rupturing and plasma flooding engineering? Well this is for you!
What it does?
- When the meter pressure is above
14500
, the Arithmetic will send a 1 to both Signal Checks, Signal Check A then sends a WiFi packet to turn on the purge pump.
Mechlab Shopping List:
- 1x WiFi Signal Splitter Component.
- 1x Arithmetic Component.
- 2x Signal Check Component.
- 1x WiFi Component.
Optional:
- Letter Display (See if the pump is currently on).
- Text Display (Show off your current pipe pressure).
- Component Cabinet.
To Assemble (Or see wiring diagram below):
- Place and wrench components, Optionally: In a component cabinet.
- Interact with a multitool on a pressure meter, select "Connect Component".
- Use a pressure meter that is directly connecting to the furnaces/combustion chamber, Avoid meters on the output end of pipes.
- Interact with the WiFi signal splitter Component, select "Check String".
- Interact with the multitool to finish pairing.
- On the WiFi signal splitter Component set "trigger field" to
pressure
. - Hold your multitool, Click and drag from the WiFi signal splitter Component to the Arithmetic Component.
- Select "Trigger" then "Set A".
- On Signal Check A, set: "Set B" =
14500
; "Mode" =gte
.- This compares if A >= B, B is your max pressure (Change "Mode" to lte to make this setup do something when the pressure is low, Eg. Turn on an inlet pump).
- On the Arithmetic component set "Set B" to
14500
(This is your Auto-purge pressure). - On the Arithmetic component set "Mode" to
gte
(Greather than or Equal) (Additionally, this is where you could turn this into an Auto-filler if the pressure is low). - Hold your multitool, Click and drag from the Arithmetic Component to both Signal Check Components.
- On Signal Check A, set: "Send Signal" =
tag=Hot Loop Purge Pump;command=power_on
; "Trigger String" =1
; Replace Signal =On
. - On Signal Check B, set: "Send Signal" =
tag=Hot Loop Purge Pump;command=power_off
; "Trigger String" =0
; Replace Signal =On
. - Hold your multitool, Click and drag both Signal Check Components to both the WiFi Component.
- On the WiFi component, set: "Frequency" =
1255
. - Open the manual hot loop purge valve.
- If multiple purge lines, use the one before the engine inlet.
- Kick back and relax?
