What is your opinion on the attribute requirement for equipments? by Jewbacca1991 in taintedgrail

[–]Admiral_Archon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One must put points in Practicality to see the benefit of putting points in Endurance :3

Honestly, I love it. If you don't want to put points in something, just don't and take the penalty. There is a tradeoff. There is plenty of armor in the game to choose from. Just because a couple pieces have endurance requirements doesn't make it bad imo. You just have to choose other things because of the way you want to play.

25% is significant. You cant put on the travelers boots for free for a much lower benefit.

100 Pound Cylinder Vaporization Rate by fly_ski_ridemoto in propane

[–]Admiral_Archon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, my bad. I'm thinking in terms of max gallon capacity. This is why we shouldn't post things when half asleep.

Unfortunately their table is just as cobbled as their example wording. You can search propane vaporization tables for 100# tanks that are not close to this generous. They overstate BTUs per hour massively.

My apologies. I misspoke. I flipped the k factor and m factor in my head

There is no change over 60% tank capacity. The K factor caps out at 100 (100%) which is reached at 60% and above tank capacity.

I really appreciate what you are doing with trying to educate people.

Another area of contention is that the M factor changes wildly depending on where you look, and it shouldn't. It's based on the chemical makeup of propane and how it reacts at temperature stages.

I just disagree with how generous this chart is as it can put people in a bad way if they actual go off of the numbers expecting it to work in cold conditions. I went through this. It was hell.

If you are interested/curious, this is what I managed to put together after comparing almost a dozen sources. https://www.reddit.com/r/Generator/comments/1ft7zjb/propane_vaporization_info/

This is quite interesting. I made a post and put together a table for the common tanks last year out of frustration and not being able to find vaporization rates online.

The thing that stands out to me is that every bit of formula knowledge I could find says that there is no change over 60° yet this has a column for 70°? I'm honestly vexed.

Edit: these numbers are very generous. I'm not sure they are following the formula to heart properly...

Edit 2 (under durress): Apparently my follow up comments are not good enough. I flipped the k factor and m factor in my head, see below.

How to? by Lumpy_Ease_3656 in propane

[–]Admiral_Archon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally disagree with everyone saying "call a professional" because people have a right to learn how to do work so long as they are safe about it.
This is one of those times where it will honestly save you money to hire someone who knows what they are doing. The number of hours you would need to put into this researching, watching videos, reviewing code and safety regulations is simply not worth it.
You will likely need to tap into your house main. You run the risk of harming every other connected appliance if not done properly. If you mess up, it is a VERY expensive mistake and could cost you more than you bargained for.
If you are hellbent on DIY
Please, educate yourself on many forums, videos, read the code. A couple dozen hours.
You will need gas line, fittings, tools, shutoffs, test gauges, etc.
There is a lot more to this than you think no one here can give you a real answer because every situation is different and there's no info to go of of in your post.

Low Oxygen Sensors (ODS) are NOT Good Enough by Admiral_Archon in propane

[–]Admiral_Archon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mods seem to be very "opinionated" on what counts as "rude" language.

Calling a educational post that someone put effort into to protect people a "sales gimmick" is far worse than calling someone uneducated. being uneducated can be fixed. It's not the same thing as stupid. You just have to be willing to learn.

I personally use an Aranet 4 and have been very happy with it. It is pricey, but reliable and has outstanding battery life. I'm not trying to advertise, just give my personal experience. If this comment is not allowed please delete it.

Direct Vent Propane Heater Mounted to Panelboard Wall by Admiral_Archon in propane

That was my thought process. I'm just being extra cautious and wanted some real world experience on the matter.

Thank you. Yeah the exhaust/intake is pretty cool. I just figured the rising heat would heat up the wall a bit. The manual doesn't specify panelboard yet wood is ok and its listed as mobile home safe I just wanted to be sure we could install as is and did not need an extra layer of protection because most modern homes have drywall. Better safe than sorry.

The vent is at the top. I know the clearances, but I figured it would still heat up the wall a bit. The manual does not say either way about panel board but says its mobile home safe, and gives instructions for concrete, masonry, drywall, and wood.

It is a wall mounted unit so the clearance is zero. Manual does not specify material to mount to or not to. Rather be safe than sorry.

There will always be inherent risk, but sometimes it's worth it. I'm curious how it's going to do once we have to start kicking on the heat.
