In general I find using heat output of coolers much to inconsistent a solution to heat up a base. If you make a tiny room with a vent to another room that is huge it's possible that the first tiny heated room is so small that it has practically no noticable effect on your workshop room if workshop room is large. However in practice there are major inconsistencies with how heat/cold propagates through vents and walls into other rooms. However, I am getting no heat at all from the output side so the room is not heating up at all. I've then build a wall 1x1 around the output (heat) side that goes directly into a vent (that is open) and vents into a workshop room. I've set up a cooler pointing into my food freezer. So I know the cooler has a cold and a hot side. Quote from: RaginCajun on November 11, 2018, 02:11:51 PM It immediately heated up from -12'C to +40'C from a single cooler tick. So if it is cold outside, it will run more efficiently pumping outside than pumping into your workshop.Īnyway, most important takeaway: check the temperature in the room that the hot end of the cooler is pumping heat into.Įdit: I just tested by putting a roof over the chimney of one of my kitchens. The other problem is that the efficiency of a cooler depends on how warm the other side is. If it has a roof the room should heat up quickly, but because it is so small it won't add much room to the workshop it is connected to by vent. In your case, it sounds like the output is going into a very small room, and you haven't stated whether it has a roof or not. But there are two problems with this setup. I haven't checked recently, but I believe it has been established that the hot end of a cooler will heat up a room. Why is the output of the cooler not directly connected to the workshop room? What's the vent for?
