I don't know why the text based part of my post didn't make it through, the first time.
TL:DR. AT keep freezing water and breaking ceramic pipes, Temp Sensors set Left to Right 20c 20c 25c. Temp comes out at 8c and circles back and goes through AT despite the temp sensors.
I built this to cool my water and SPOM but for some reason the dang Auqatuners, keep overcooling and the pipes burst, 20c -14c should be 6c, not even freezing, but ive noticed sometimes the 8c water forces its way through the Aquatuner, any way to fix?
Edit: figured out it’s cause the pipes were backing up.
Can I have a link to the source? This is a pretty surreal build. I can see something like this with super coolant in the late game, if you for some reason have too much power and need to liquify hydrogen _right this moment_, or maybe freeze the ocean planetoid. There is no sensible use for this with water as a coolant.
Or... are you cooling the water for consumption? Don't. Once you have AT/ST tech, there is absolutely no need to cool water other than to use as a coolant. [Yes, that includes sleet wheat.](https://imgur.com/a/EXTAmUc)
I'm pretty sure this is trying to copy Tony Advanced's aquatuner build that ends up being power positive, but yeah it did indeed use supercoolant and it actually needs something to cool in order for the power to even out
Even with super coolant, this is not going to be power-positive; you'd need a two-AT-vs.-three-ST-build for that. But anyway, [I found the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld892h3NmDw). He's using the build to cool crude oil for use as a metal refinery coolant. In other words, spending 3.6 tons of steel and 3.6kW of power on something that can be done with a loop of radiant pipes and is then power-positive.
Your first aquatuner's bypass bridge yields priority to your second bridge, which means that the flow stops, which can leave a higher temperature packet on your temp sensor while a lower temperature packet is on your aquatuner input. Swap the bridges so the one from the first aquatuner joins the line before the one from the second aquatuner.
Actually a better way to do it would be to put them all in series. Have the bypass from each aquatuner join the line directly after the output before proceeding to the next aquatuner input.
Yeah, don't do any of that. If you feed 95C water to your spom directly, that heat will be transferred to the produced oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is destroyed by the generators, so the heat is just gone, and the oxygen takes significantly less power to cool. Like, over an order of magnitude less power, using whatever cooling loop you have in your main base. 95C oxygen won't hurt your base at all if you have a cooling loop
On top of that, even if you do cool the water down, the electrolyzer outputs at 70C minimum anyway, so all the energy you spent cooling the water below that is completely wasted

Can you give us a look at the automation overlay?
why do u have 3 ATs?
This is just a build o pulled from the tube of yous

This is a mess. You better put the thermo sensor before the AT.
i would suggest using polluted water for cooling. as it freezes right below 20c
This build is crazy. What are you trying to do with it?
I’m using it to cool, my spom and the water from three, steam gysers.
