    I would be interested to see how filters affect the result, and how to optimize pumping back into a tank which used compressed air to empty.

      That is part of my next test!!

    Damn good timing, I've been designing an oil tanker today and I was wondering what would be a good way to unload it

    I’ve seen on Reddit that having multiple ins and outs on one pump make it quicker 2 ins and 4 outs on a large pump is fastest

    I’m think you need to test by pumping the air/atmosphere the opposite direction to equalize the pressure. That would probably explain why the pressure canister tests go faster, because you are forcing a much higher pressure in the source tank. I wonder if you use 2 pumps in one direction for the diesel and 2 pumps in the opposite direction how fast it would go.

      Could you clarify/reword that? I can't quite understand what you mean. Pumping air from where to where in the opposite direction to equalize pressure between what and what?

    • @jasonleach2961

      @@neo2264So you're pumping diesel from tank a to tank b; you will also need to test pumping air, or the atmosphere, from tank b back to tank a at the same time. I believe the pressurized tank injecting atmosphere into the source tank is giving you such an imbalanced source pressure, that it's forcing the liquid into the destination tank, obviously. But I would think in the long run, it would slow down to the same speed as just pumping diesel from tank a to tank b - think of a larger / tanker pumping from a to b. You should also test like this - having 2 pumps pumping diesel from tank a to tank b; and also 2 pumps pumping atmosphere from tank b back to tank a - to keep all the atmosphere pressures 'equalized'. I believe long term tests would prove this useful.

      true, my best design pumps fluid in at 25atm, because 60 is the maximum pressure, and air needs to flow out at the same rate, 25+25 = 50atm

      What if tank A is the whole sea and tank B a submarine ballast tsnk? How do you optimally transfer liquid and gas?

  • @nutsandy7183

    Does the 3x4 outlet have a better flow rate than the 1x1?

    Could you upload this test rig to the workshop so we can play with it? I'd like to play around with things and compare to your results.

  • @KanelTheBullar

    But there is a catch, when tanks spawns liquid inside of it, it spawns with full volume of air as well, so pump is pumping not only liquid but air as well. So when you measure how much it volume pumps, half of it is just air

    • @KanelTheBullar
      @KanelTheBullar ปีที่แล้ว

      And pumps always pump air and liquid together, unless there is liquid relief valve or gas relief valve

  • @KanelTheBullar
    @KanelTheBullar ปีที่แล้ว

    When you use method with gas tanks, most of that volume that moved is just gas. Instead of testing with custom tanks, use fluid tanks, tooltip details will show what is going on

    Make a multi outlet connector with multiple fluid connectors at the docking point, maybe on the end of a boom

    So with all these pumping tests you now did, i wonder: Whast system should i use? I am currently building a tanker truck to transport Diesel for example. But i am not sure what system i should use if i dont want to wait ages for it to get full and empty.

  • @Forcemaster2000
    @Forcemaster2000 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the system using a tank of air to increase pressure, you could also just dispense with the tank and use a pump to push ambient air into the system, saving space. (EDIT) LOL, you beat me to it!

    • @454ss_gaming
      @454ss_gaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      :D I tried and it did not give good results! I think if I added pressure first, then released, it would go faster, but that would take more time!

  • @АлександрКузьмин-в7ю
    @АлександрКузьмин-в7ю ปีที่แล้ว

    And for the next thing to test: is it faster to pump with a pump or with pure compressed air?

  • @huyzahuy6534
    @huyzahuy6534 ปีที่แล้ว

    what about with letting atmospheric pressure, so instead making a vacuum - let them suck fluid out

  • @flaxe1701
    @flaxe1701 ปีที่แล้ว

    Try to pump air in with an impeler because it presuerize the chamber
