Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Pumps
|
|
Pumps are the primary way of actively moving gasses through a [textlink="pipenet." link="PipeNetworks"]
|
|
They take gas from one side, and push it to the other.
|
|
There are two different types of pumps:

|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPressurePump" Caption="pressure pump"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasVolumePump" Caption="volumetric pump"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
Some important things to note about pumps:
|
|
- Pumps [color=#a4885c]require power[/color] through a nearby LV cable to function.
|
|
- Pumps output on the side with the red stripe.
|
|
- Gas cannot move backwards through pumps (although if you are using a pump to do solely this, you should use the [textlink="passive gate" link="PassiveGate"] instead).
|
|
- Pumps cannot move gasses into pipes with pressures or volumes exceeding their [color=#a4885c]limit[/color]. This causes them to be [color=red]blocked[/color].
|
|
|
|
Pumps will show a colorful animation when they are doing work.
|
|
If they have no gas to pump, or they are blocked, they will show a blinking [color=red]red[/color] animation.
|
|
Pumps that are off, have no power, or are unanchored will show no animation.
|
|
|
|
## Pressure Pumps
|
|
Pressure pumps are the most common type of pump.
|
|
They move gas based on [color=#a4885c]pressure[/color], making them useful for controlling the exact pressure of a pipe, or for drawing a vacuum.
|
|

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPressurePump" Caption="pressure pump"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
A pressure pump [color=red]cannot[/color] move gas to a pipe that has a pressure higher or equal to the pressure set on the pump.
|
|
|
|
For example, a pressure pump cannot pump gas to a pipe that is currently at 500 kPa, if the pressure pump is set at 500 kPa.
|
|
|
|
Pressure pumps can pump up to a maximum pressure of [color=orange][protodata="GasPressurePump" comp="GasPressurePump" member="MaxTargetPressure"/] kPa[/color].
|
|
They will become [color=red]blocked[/color] if they try to push gas into a pipe higher than this pressure.
|
|
|
|
## Volumetric Pumps
|
|
Volumetric pumps are an alternative pump, moving gas based on [color=#a4885c]volume[/color].
|
|

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasVolumePump" Caption="volumetric pump"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
They are extremely useful for moving large amounts of gas quickly.
|
|
They can typically achieve higher pressures than a pressure pump.
|
|
|
|
While volumetric pumps work off of the principle of volume, they will become [color=red]blocked[/color] if they try to push gas into a pipe higher than [color=orange][protodata="GasVolumePump" comp="GasVolumePump" member="HigherThreshold"/] kPa[/color].
