Description[edit]
Silanol is the premium refrigerant gas for utilizing |phase change to pump heat. With its extremely high heat capacity it also makes an excellent coolant, able to absorb large quantities of heat energy with minimal temperature fluctuation.

Usage[edit]
Silanol is best used as a phase-change coolant in high-temperature-range loops. Its high critical temperature of 821.7 K (548.55 °C) allows it to still liquify and eject heat even on Venus (but not during Vulcan daytime).
However, its extremely low molar volume of just 0.16 L/mol (6.25 mols/L) limits how quickly it can be pumped into an Evaporation Chamber, for a maximum achievable evaporation capacity of 15.625 kJ at a 0.25 L/tick flow rate. For medium-temperature applications, a Water loop may provide superior performance.
Sources[edit]
Silanol is planned to be obtained through late-game synthesis[1].
It can also be acquired through medium and large gas traders.

Notes[edit]
- Internal game constants refer to it as Coolant.
- Silanol is highly toxic to humans, with concentrations above 1kPa causing lung damage. Similarly to Hydrazine and Hydrochloric Acid, it isn't metabolized by human lungs at toxic concentrations.
- Zrilian lungs are immune to damage from exposure to Silanol.
