CO2 Scrubber

CO2 Scrubber
Grid size	2 x 2
Power consumption	1 MW
Power category	Life Support
Outputs	CO2

The CO2 Scrubber takes CO₂ from the atmosphere and outputs it into pipes when powered. The output can be fed into an air reprocessor or tank, it requires an output to function, otherwise it immediately becomes blocked.

At rest, while charging, and in use, it uses 1 power per second.

Scrubbing

It stores 20 CO₂, if the output is blocked. It scrubs ca. 6.5 CO₂ per second from the atmosphere and delivers it through its output. As one person exhales ca. 3.87 CO₂ per minute, ca. one CO₂ scrubber is needed for every 100 people aboard a starship.

History

• Update1.rc2: Introduced.
• Update2.rc1: Doubled the speed of extracting CO2 from the atmosphere.
