Steam Turbine

Steam

Steam turns heat into kinetic energy:

1. The boiler makes it with heat.
2. The turbine turns it into KU.
3. The water comes back distilled.

Steam boiler

Steam Boiler: with heat from any side, it boils water.

• Water comes in through pipes (regular or distilled): it has no slots for buckets or cells.
• In its GUI you choose the pressure at the top, with buttons for 1, 10 and 100 bar, and how much water goes in per tick at the bottom, with buttons for 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mB. The displays show the steam going out, the temperature and the heat received; the red bar is the temperature (the white mark shows where it boils) and the pale one, calcification.
• It boils at 100 °C at 0 bar and at 374 °C at 221 bar. 1 mB of water gives 100 mB of steam and uses 100 hU at 0 bar or 200 hU at 221 bar.
• From 221 bar it makes superheated steam, worth twice as much in the turbine.
• Careful! Unused heat (no water, or too little water per tick) raises the temperature: above 500 °C it explodes. If the steam has nowhere to go, it escapes and hurts.
• Regular water slowly calcifies it; distilled water does not.

Steam kinetic generator

Steam Kinetic Generator: with a Steam Turbine inside, it turns steam into KU, which come out the back into a Kinetic Generator.

Send the output with the fluid ejector upgrade.

Distilled water

• Condenser: turns regular steam into distilled water (100 mB = 1 mB). It only condenses 10 mB/t; each heat vent (4 slots, two on each side of the steam tank) adds 100 mB/t and uses 2 EU/t. It does not take superheated steam. Water leaves through pipes (with the fluid ejector upgrade) or in cells: they go at the top right and come down full.
• Solar Distiller: by day with open sky, turns water into distilled water (1 mB every 3.5 s), with no energy.
