The new storage space brought by the upgrade of the storage room did not increase much, but only expanded the food storage room by five square meters.
However, this is still much wider than the original ten square meters of space where both food and supplies were placed. At least Chen Xin didn't have to deal with supplies all over the floor.
Especially the extra shelves on the wall. After placing the steel bars and some small parts, the floor of the storage room is much cleaner. Except for cement, there is nothing that needs to be placed on the floor.
This frees up a lot of space.
At least Chen Xin could drag the two outdoor air conditioners stacked next to the workbench into the material storage room instead of stacking them there in the way.
After dragging the two outdoor air conditioners into the storage room, Chen Xin returned to the workbench and opened the system interface again.
In addition to manufacturing various equipment and processing various parts with the help of the system, the workbench produced by the system can also be used to dismantle various things.
This is of course a function of the workbench itself, but with the help of the system, Chen Xin can make the disassembly work easier and recycle resources more efficiently.
For example, when he is sitting in front of the workbench, he can see the two outdoor air conditioners that have been stuffed into the storage room on the system interface, and they are displayed as removable resources.
Obviously, with the power of the system, Chen Xin can already sit at the workbench and directly dismantle the things in the storage room.
Looking at the air conditioner outdoor units that were shown to be detachable, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then clicked on the disassembly button and disassembled one of them into parts.
The parts did not appear on the workbench, but were still placed in the storage room.
However, after finishing the disassembly, Chen Xin came to the storage room again curiously, wanting to see what was left of the air conditioner outdoor unit after the system was disassembled.
In the storage room at this time, the air conditioner outdoor unit that was originally stacked by Chen Xin against the wall was missing, and there were many more disassembled parts in the empty space on the shelf next to it.
Chen Xin walked to the shelf and picked up the disassembled parts, identifying that it was the compressor, one of the most important parts of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
These are also necessary parts for Chen Xin to make ground source heat pump equipment. Although there is a system to help Chen Xin build a ground source heat pump, he cannot make these parts because the workbench is not of sufficient level.
Faced with this setting, it seems that certain parts cannot be made in the game and can only be obtained by collecting them in the wild or completing tasks, but Chen Xin is not surprised.
When there are ready-made parts, it is not difficult to create a usable ground source heat pump equipment by modifying the pipes and splicing parts. Even if there are no problems with the parts, Chen Xin can make it without the help of the system. The ground source heat pump equipment is assembled.
However, with only the tools on the current workbench, it is simply impossible to build a compressor yourself.
Although the compressor used in air conditioners looks like two long cans, one large and one small, connected together, the structure inside is quite complex.
Before Chen Xin became a full-time writer and started writing online novels, he also worked in other jobs. Because of his work, he was also exposed to mechanical manufacturing.
He clearly knew that the manufacture of a compressor could not be done in a manual workshop. Even if the compressor was disassembled into parts and given to him, he might not be able to put all the parts back together.
In other words, even if it can be put back, Chen Xin is not sure whether the compressor can still be used.
Because the compressor is under high pressure inside when it is working, in this case, even a trace of leakage or improper assembly may turn the compressor into a bomb, causing serious consequences.
Therefore, the manufacturing and processing of this kind of thing requires truly industrial-level processing and manufacturing capabilities, not a garage manual workshop.
Chen Xin actually didn't care about this situation. His demand for this kind of equipment parts was not high, and the supplies provided by the SWAT team were enough to meet his needs.
And with the system, if he really can't get it, Chen Xin can continue to upgrade the workbench and workshop so that he can eventually produce the parts and equipment he needs.
Chen Xin, who had no intention of working at first, looked at the disassembled parts and somehow became interested. He returned to the workbench and planned to manufacture the first ground source heat pump.
Ground source heat pump equipment does not have system drawings to refer to like the firearms drawings on the workbench of the weapon cabinet. It can be operated in a fool-proof manner with the powerful functions of the system.
The ground source heat pump equipment without drawings and references required Chen Xin to assemble it bit by bit, and all the system could provide was some assistance.
Just like when Chen Xin built an oxygen concentrator before, the system could at most help him process materials and improve the accuracy and quality of parts, but it could not replace him in directly processing materials into parts.
However, this did not trouble Chen Xin. Although the structure of the ground source heat pump system was somewhat complicated, Chen Xin had related structural flow diagrams and circuit master diagrams on his notebook. According to the drawings, Chen Xin was still able to assemble the entire equipment. .
But even though it could be installed, what Chen Xin assembled was still rough.
And one thing Chen Xin had not thought of before was that the refrigerant used in ground source heat pump equipment in the information he read was usually water, unlike the refrigerant used in household air conditioners, which is chemical refrigerant.
Water is the medium with the highest latent heat of evaporation in nature, and it also carries the largest amount of heat from liquid to gaseous state. However, for small household air conditioners, it is not suitable to use water as the cooling circulation medium.
The refrigerants used in household air conditioners are chemical media that are small in size, fast in effect, and can be vaporized, compressed and condensed at room temperature.
As for air conditioners that use water as the cooling circulation medium, the advantages of water are reflected in large central air conditioners or workplaces similar to ground source heat pumps that require the cooling circulation medium to carry more heat.
This is actually like the difference between a small truck and a large truck. The small truck pulls less, but is fast and flexible, suitable for small-scale use; while the large truck pulls more, but is large and slow, suitable for large-scale use.
However, now Chen Xin does not consider directly replacing the remaining cooling medium in these equipment with water. Instead, he assembles the equipment first.
After all, this is just an outdoor unit of a home central air conditioner. The cooling circulation medium used in it is still a chemical medium, which results in its circulation pipe being actually very small. The evaporator and condenser are also designed for chemical media. , does not apply to water.
If it weren't for the system, Chen Xin wouldn't be able to do this even if he wanted to, but with the system, it wouldn't be too troublesome to modify the cooling circulation medium. (End of chapter)
