CryoTanks

Support mod pack for Kerbal Atomics and CryoEngines, dealing with cryogenic fuels

Features

Fuel Switching

This mod contains patches that enables fuel switching on most parts, stock and modded, that contain LiquidFuel/Oxidizer. The parts will be able to contain the following fuel settings with correct dry mass

• LiquidFuel/Oxidizer
• LqdHydrogen/Oxidizer
• LiquidFuel
• Oxidizer
• LqdHydrogen

Hydrogen Boiloff

The mod contains a plugin that causes LiquidHydrogen to evaporate from improperly cooled tanks. The boiloff rate is quite low so there is only a need to deal with it if you are storing fuel on orbit or doing long interplanetary transfers.

** Disabling Boiloff**

Either remove the SimpleBoiloff.dll file from GameData/CryoTanks/Plugins/ or remove the following code block from GameData/CryoTanks/Patches/CryoTanksFuelSwitcher.cfg:

MODULE
{
  name =  ModuleCryoTank
  FuelName = LqdHydrogen
  // in % per hr
  BoiloffRate = 0.05
}

Orbital Zero-boiloff (ZBO) Fuel Tanks

This mod adds several ZBO tanks that use electricity to halt boiloff. These are provided in 1.25m to 5m size classes as well as several radial mount models.
