Since there is 0 power being consumed, one of two things is true: Your base is being fully powered by solar energy, in which case the steam turbines shut off or. You have not connected this power station to your base. Easiest thing is to check the map and turn off everything but electric connections. Make sure the blue line is fully connected ...Factorio. Condensers and turbines. I noticed the "promised" condensers never arrived and that steam is discarded from the turbines into the air. I would like to know why did the devs never completed the part to implement condensers where I can cool off the 110 degree celcius steam to 80 degree celcius water. I could maybe then used 5 instead of ...Condensers. A way to recycle used steam back into water. Whether it is an entity, add-on, or research, condensing steam would basically add a way to recover water from steam engines and turbines for a modest performance hit, which could then be fed back into the turbine after being cooled somehow. The general idea is an option to lower the ...These days, appearance is everything. Even if you dress casually all the time, people expect you to look good. Wrinkles don’t help your appearance in any situation, so a good steam iron can help you look your best no matter what you’re wear...480 MW / 10 MW/heat exchanger = 48 Heat Exchangers to use all that heat. 48 * 103 = 4944 water/sec. Since an Offshore Pump only outputs 1200 water/sec, using 4 will leave you 144 water/sec short, so you need 5 Offshore Pumps. 480 MW / 5.82 MW = 82.47 Steam Turbines; obviously you need to round up again. That’s where Loewchen got his numbers from.There are now 440 turbines, just to make sure, and there are 200 pumps connecting the tanks storing steam. Maximum separation between pumps is 1 pipe, so that (according to the wiki) they should be able to pump 6000 units of steam per second. If you have tech, aka, are tier 4 sciences, 5000C steam + condenser turbine is way to go ( steam storage) . Or a twin reactor, for 1k integrity ships. Solar will definitely not be the way to go about this. Beam receiver can be placed on spaceship, but you can NOT target it in Flight. However, it has storage of 5 TJ total, or 2.5TJ for 5000C.Steam turbines issue . So I had this blueprint copied on my .17 world, but I can't get the top turbines to start. The tanks just below them are almost full, so I don't know what might be the problem... Let me know if you need more info ... r/factorio • When you build long rail from two opposite sides and you miscalculated by one tile. ...Condenser Turbine Operation[edit] The condenser turbine takes 100 to 999 degrees C steam as an input, and outputs water and power. It also has an internal …If there is no fluid in it, be it steam or water in it, then the flow is not going to work. Try separating the offshore pumps / pipes into different pipe segments until it works. Adding more adjacent pipes is the worst thing you can do. Once you remedy that you will figure the fluid throughput out more easily. 1.My last setup on 0.17, had the capacity to produce 19 GW energy to fill 1,5 TJ of accumulators every 5 min. The problem was placing 2000 steam turbines and feed all of them. I think increasing the amount of storage inside the turbines would help transferring steam to more turbines in a row and/or turbines that consumes more than 60 steam/second.That's from a mod, probably angels. Electric boilers are NOT a power source. Electric boilers are for creating steam in a more convenient way for use in *crafting recipes* at the cost of being slightly power lossy. #2. dragonsphotoworks Aug 17, 2020 @ 12:14am. I believe its from bobs mods actually as i have same mod/item and i have all angels ...It's also waaaay more space efficient than storing energy with accumulators. Accu: 5 MJ / 4 tiles = 1.25 MJ/tile. Storage tank: A turbine consumes 60 steam/second for an output of 5.8 MW (500°C) or 1.8 MW (165°C). So 1 tank can power a turbine for 416s, for a total power of 2412 MJ (500°C) or 749 MJ (165°C). With a space requirement of 24 ...Hello, As a engineer myself I realy like machines and their sounds and so far factorio did a great job on the sound design. But it hurts my ears to hear a ch…Here's the summary of power production: 1> 1 Offshore Pump can handle 10 Steam Engines. 10 Steam Engines require 14 boilers to keep the water hot all the way to the end. You can do 13 boilers, but that's at 99% efficiency. I do 1 pump, with a pipe off, that splits into two pipes.2 Answers. The problem is the boiler cannot connect to the offshore pump using the third pipe on the side. It has to be one of the other two. This is because the third pipe has an output only. This output is meant to produce steam. You can see which direction the pipes output/input if you press Alt, like below:I am trying to create an assembly machine that looks like the steam-turbine and animates when it crafts. The assembly is supposed to have one steam input and one water output, crafting steam back into water (and animating and making smoke like the steam turbine in the process).Make sure it's getting enough steam. They take 60 per second. Pipes have limited flow and heat exchangers can only prodduce a little over 100 units per second. This would be my guess as well. If the power is near max, then one heat exchanger can only support two turbines, similiar to regular steam engines.Let's say I have a bunch of tanks full of steam. If I have my nuclear reactor offline, so no more steam coming, does the steam in the tank will slowly be consumed by the steam turbines if I have a small electricity demand ? Is the steam turbines working in sync with the electricity demand like the steam engines ? (I know it's not the case for the nuclear reactor.) I saw a lot of designs with 2 ...Turbines ++. Tired of big nuclear turbine setups? This mod adds new turbines and usage for super/extreme heated steam. With the full setup you will get up to 112.5 MW of power out of 100 MW heat. ? Space Exploration (optional) Tired of big nuclear turbine setups? This mod adds new turbines and usage for super/extreme heated steam. With the full ...33 steam engines in a row are normally a terribly bad idea. But it works here. During the day there's only the water flow from one shore pump, and sustaining that over a long-ish pipe is no problem. At night the first ten steam engines are supplied as normal, and for the other ones the water only has to flow 1.5 steam engines from a tank.Steam engines adjust their steam consumption and power production based on how much energy you need. If the devices connected to your engines only consume 25% of the power that your engines can produce, your engines will only be running at 25% capacity. That then also means that each engine will only be using 7.5 steam, rather than the normal 30. Well designed Blueprints for every part of an unmodded playthrough? That is the objective of this series of Tutorials "Base-in-a-Book"This series contains tu...One lump of coal is 4MJ. Dividing 4MJ by 1.8MJ/s gives 2.222 or 20/9 seconds. Since each boiler consumes one coal every 20/9 seconds, each boiler needs 9/20 coal lumps every second. Yellow belts can feed 15 coal/s to whatever so dividing 15/ (9/20) gives (15*20)/9 or 300/9 boilers. This reduces to 33 and 1/3 boilers for a single yellow belt ...Condenser Turbine Operation . The condenser turbine takes 100 to 999 degrees C steam as an input, and outputs water and power. It also has an internal reservoir of "condensing steam" which is an SE unique fluid. The condenser turbine uses 80 steam per second and returns 79.2 water per second Condenser Turbine OrientationThe Condenser turbine is like a normal steam turbine, but takes in steam and outputs water. Compared to the steam turbine a condenser turbine is 75% energy efficient but recovers 99% of the water. Big power. The big heat exchanger and big turbine generator are much larger but more powerful options. They make and use 5000 degree steam.Can a Steam Turbine work using steam from a boiler? Also, is there any efficiency difference between a Steam engine and a Steam Turbine? My maths, which could very easily be wrong, says a Engine produces 5.4545 KW per degree of heat, and a Turbine produces 4.8KW, but I've read in other posts they produce the same, anyone able to explain the maths behind this to me?Real world turbines work very efficiently at full load but are notoriously inefficient at part load. Imagine if Factorio steam turbines worked the same. Instead of current linear dependency turbines would use for example 90% of max steam flow to generate 80% power, 80% steam for 50% power, 70% steam for 25% power and so on.Factorio physics (tm) don't allow Steam to condense, so a tank of steam is a tank of steam until the steam is used up. Using an array of pump-connected steam tanks (normal liquid storage tanks, used for oil, water, gas, etc), you can store the heated output of your nuclear powered boilers, and use that to drive your turbines to create power.Proven utility steam turbines. Siemens Energy offers a comprehensive range of steam turbine products in the power output range from 90 to 1,900 MW. These are used in conventional fossil-fired steam power plants as well as in nuclear and combined cycle power plants. With more than 8,000 steam turbines in service worldwide we provide proven ...Re: Steam Turbines not working : (. by Serenity » Sun May 26, 2019 10:55 am. Also, while this works at this scale, there is a limit to the length of heatpipes. Eventually they stop transferring heat properly. And this distance somehow gets shorter the more power you have (heat works kind of like a fluid and you have similar effects there)If you go the steam engine route, you'd get more power from 2 steam engines and 3 boilers, and both of those are very quick to craft by hand (1.5 sec total for boilers, 5.5 sec total for steam engines, compared to 9.8 sec for each wind turbine). You would never automate steam engine production the comparison is a bit weird.If you want to place lots of turbines on a single line, i suggest you to set them up like this: Steam Tank-->Pump-->Turbines. Pumps have an insane throughput when feeding from a tank (12000/s), so go nuts! -The bottleneck will be how much throughput a single turbine allow. Alternating pumps and turbines could even get you to 100 turbines in a ...Steam engines adjust their steam consumption and power production based on how much energy you need. If the devices connected to your engines only consume 25% of the power that your engines can produce, your engines will only be running at 25% capacity. That then also means that each engine will only be using 7.5 steam, rather than the normal 30.While designed for the 500°C steam of a nuclear reactor, turbines can still be connected to boilers for use in conventional 165°C steam power. At this mode, the steam turbine acts equal to two separate steam engines, producing 1800 kW and consuming 60 steam/sec. However, actual power production is based on the temperature of the steam, not ... They send a signal of your choosing, by default 'A'. This signal represents the percentage of power left in the accumulator. In this way you can use a power switch to read when the accumulator falls below a certain % (in my case 30%) before turning on your steam engines. The game seems to prefer keeping my engines on overnight even if I have a ...Condenser Turbine Operation[edit] The condenser turbine takes 100 to 999 degrees C steam as an input, and outputs water and power. It also has an internal …Re: Getting steam turbines to cool down steam? by bobingabout » Tue Aug 01, 2017 1:58 pm. The way steam engines work right now is pretty much based on the old method. Consume water. Test temperature. Take current temp - starting temp, multiply this number by energy per degree value. Produce this much power.Factorio physics (tm) don't allow Steam to condense, so a tank of steam is a tank of steam until the steam is used up. Using an array of pump-connected steam tanks (normal liquid storage tanks, used for oil, water, gas, etc), you can store the heated output of your nuclear powered boilers, and use that to drive your turbines to create power.Turbines ++. by Chaos234.

If they are full of steam maybe your consumption is lower, that's maybe why they don't work. I am not sure if this is because of the mods I have enabled but my steam turbines are not running at all. The nuclear reactors are running and heating up the pipes and heat exchangers and the steam ...Didn't see anyone mention this - vulcanite rich means that you get steam from vulcanite processing. You can then use condenser turbines to get water and the water goes back into vulcanite and so on. From my experience this needs very little water to start working and keeps working for a long time without the need for extra water.Change steam turbine priority to primary (to keep steam engines from running) Content Mod category: Content Mods introducing new content into the game. ...

Dividing 4MJ by 1.8MJ/s gives 2.222 or 20/9 seconds. Since each boiler consumes one coal every 20/9 seconds, each boiler needs 9/20 coal lumps every second. Yellow belts can feed 15 coal/s to whatever so dividing 15/ (9/20) gives (15*20)/9 or 300/9 boilers. This reduces to 33 and 1/3 boilers for a single yellow belt ...Adds steam engines/turbines with different priorities. Changelog Version: 1.0.2 Date: 2022-10-09 Fixes: - Incompatability reported by LabsJ - Removed unneccesary debug loggingRelated Topics. The ratio is 1 offshore pump to 20 boilers to 40 steam engines. You can figure this out by looking at the fluid production and consumption rates - one offshore pump creates 1200 water/second, one boiler consumes 60 water and produces 60 steam a second, and one steam engine consumes 30 water a second to produce electricity.Each exchanger can support 1.72 turbines. So you have too few exchangers for your reactor, and too many turbines per exchanger. If you want to balance turbines, I recommend running a pipe on the far end of the turbines, as that side is less pressured. Baer1990 • 1 day ago. https://factorio-nuclear-power-plant.netlify.app/.The ratio of heat exchangers to turbines is about 4:7, not a clean 4:8. So your 12 HXs can supply enough steam for 21 turbines to use continuously and you have 24. Some will be starved of steam and not produce the max. What I do is build that number of turbines and link the steam coming out of the heat exchangers with pipes first.Factorio > Ideas & Suggestions > Topic Details. Equestris.

It is usually used together with heat exchangers and a nuclear reactor.. While designed for the 500°C steam of a nuclear reactor, turbines can still be connected to boilers for use in conventional 165°C steam power. At this mode, the steam turbine acts equal to two separate steam engines, producing 1800 kW and consuming 60 steam/sec.Sounds like a noob question to ask, but can I use the steam turbines for the steam engines instead of nuclear power, even though researched tech?.Steam engines/turbines throttle their power generation according to consumption, they don't "shut down" unless solar panels meet 100% of your need. They let steam through regardless. It looks like all your water is in one or two pipelines, and I don't see any pumps. The heat exchangers are probably water starved.Currently using a mod that adds new tiers of steam engines. I upgraded to "steam engine 2" which now has 1.8 MW of max output. The problem is, when I hover my cursor over the engine it is still only producing 900 KW of power and not moving from that amount.This blueprint book contains a tileable column based nuclear power system. It contains 2 layouts both based on the same core reactor layout. The initial layout 30 Heat Exchangers and 50 Steam Turbines, and two water pipes per column. The second layout contains 34 Heat Exchangers and 56 Steam Turbines. All of the blueprints are setup to work ...Boiler will not produce steam with temperature of 500C but only 165C. Because steam turbines consume at most 60 steam/s ratio of boiler:turbine is 1:1. Because of this, 1 turbine connected to 1 boiler when fully loaded will be consuming 60 steam/s (its max) and will produce only 1,8MW because of steam temperature.a single Burner Turbine generates more power (2MW) than a Boiler+2 Steam Engine setup (1.8MW) it is much cheaper than the Boiler setup you can push off the fluid handling tech branch until quite a lot later, and get electric labs and such first no need to mess around with pumping water, this thing can go anywhereClick on an empty cell to place a nuclear power plant. This layout produces 40 MW output ( 1 SRE ). 40 MW of power output is consumed by 4 Heat Exchangers (10MW per Heat Exchanger ). 4 Heat Exchangers boil 412.36 Water to Steam per second (103.09 per Heat Exchanger ). 412.36 Water requires 1 ( 0.34) Offshore Pumps (1200 per Offshore Pump ). Can a Steam Turbine work using steam from a boiler? Also, is there any efficiency difference between a Steam engine and a Steam Turbine?

At night the first ten steam engines are supplied as normal, and for the other ones the water only has to flow 1.5 steam engines from a tank.Since steam is produced from water in a 1:1 ratio, this also means that 103 units of water are consumed per second. History. 0.17.67: Heat pipes (also in reactors and heat exchangers) glow with high temperatures. 0.15.0: Introduced; Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ; See also. Nuclear power; Steam turbine That 50% efficiency number always throws people off. Each boiler consumes 1.8MW of energy, and produces 900kW of energy. That's where the 50% comes in. The steam engines themselves are 100% efficient, and produce 900kW each. So, 1:1 ratio. 20 boilers require 36 MW of coal, or 8.6 miners. Permittivity.Yes, every other electric source such as steam engines, steam turbines or solar cells should be priorized over accumulators. I'd prefer steam turbines over steam engines even if you're using them just with boilers having 165°C. The output is much higher, 1.8 MW instead of 900 kW. astroshak. Filter Inserter.A steam turbine consumes 60 units of steam per second, which is 5.82 MW. IOW, for every 40 MW, you need 4 heat exchangers, 6.873 steam turbines, and 0.344 pumps. For a 2x2 block of reactors, multiply by 3*4=12: 48 heat exchangers, 83 turbines, 5 pumps. For a 2x4 block, multiply by 3*4+4*4=28: 112 heat exchangers, 193 turbines, 10 pumps.Re: No power at night. The accumulators aren't used because the steam plant is sending enough power to the network that they aren't needed. They don't know or care if the power is being supplied by solar panels or steam, just whether the network has enough power or not. There's some great designs on these boards about how to use disconnected ...Factorio. Power generation. I have 5 turbines connected to 15 coal fired boilers which are all running as normal and are providing an adequate amount of steam for the turbines however no matter what I do the turbines say "power output 1.8 MW/5.8MW", the same goes for available power.

Content. 2 years ago. 1.1. 2.03K.Steam engines "work" with 500C, but the same amount of steam ran through a turbine will generate more power, thus the energy is lost. It's because engines can only process the first 165C of the steam, rather than the other 500C. I'm not sure if it's an even ratio (165/500), or a simple double energy storage.Hello, As a engineer myself I realy like machines and their sounds and so far factorio did a great job on the sound design.
