Is the factory producing enough fuel (coal, solid fuel, uranium fuel cells)? Heat pipes (also in reactors and heat exchangers) glow with high temperatures. using 3 pumps and a tank, you can feed 28 heat exchangers. As each heat exchanger produces 10 MW, the optimal ratio is 500 steam turbines for every 291 heat exchangers. Then you just connect the reactors to exchangers and exchangers to turbines, also you need about 1 water pump per 10 exchangers (in vanilla). Water consumption for heat exchangers math : r/factorio - reddit Place some pipes or a tank at the end to see if there is really water coming through. Designed for supporting scaled up machines from "Schall Machine Scaling" mod. Additional comment actions. Hence, each water pump can support a maximum of 40 steam generators. The glow of the heat pipes indicates temperature, with left ends being at the upper limit of 1000C.

In Factorio, how much fluid can a pipe transfer? - Arqade What does clicking on an item's icon in the "Factory" tab do? Each offshore pump outputs 1200 units of water per second. by mrvn Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:45 pm, Powered by phpBB Forum Software phpBB Limited. Heat exchangers produce 103 steam/second.This can be calculated by relying on steam turbine data: A steam turbine consumes 60 steam/second and produces 5.82MW (assuming 500C steam). Do the numbers in the "beacons" column represent the number of modules or the number of beacons? They produce electricity by consuming steam, using water pumped from an offshore pump that was heated to 165C steam with boilers or to 500C steam with heat exchangers. This produces the 1:20:40 ratio. Build the reactor over a lake, with careful placement of landfill you can have pumps directly feeding each end of the heat exchanger line. by Amarula Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:45 pm, Post and our by Honktown Mon Dec 02, 2019 1:56 pm, Post Now you have 0 waste of fuel. Introduction Troubled by pipes having low flow rates? This allows steam engines to be chained together. factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio -adding a second off-shore pump to start off with twice as much water (in theory); -putting in more pumps, say one pump for every underground pipe; -putting in a complete second line from off-shore pump to heat exchangers with a pump every 5 underground pipes. The steam produced is exactly 500C hot, even if the exchanger is hotter. (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). The Factorio devs plan some refactoring for the upcoming version 0.17. And probably how many Offshore Pumps you need for them? Ratios for Nuclear Power :: Factorio General Discussions - Steam Community by Honktown Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:30 pm, Post My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power. The true value comes from the following facts: It takes 1 kilojoule of thermal energy to raise 5 units of water/steam 1 C, You've heated water from 15 C to 500 C; 500 - 15 = 485, Consuming steam in turbines gives you the same amount of energy back as electricity, Steam is consumed by steam turbines at a rate of 60 units/second. Press J to jump to the feed. SmartAlec105 having more than 2 steam engines per boiler could do that. But the water only gets heated up from 15C to 500C, so by 485C. by astroshak Sat Jan 04, 2020 1:58 am, Post Water supply for nuclear reactors - Factorio Forums Nuclear power plants mostly need a lot of water. The above ratio can be calculated from information available in-game: One boiler consumes 1.8MW of fuel and produces energy stored in steam at 100% efficiency. For each 100% neighbor bonus, the reactor needs 4 more heat exchangers. (Low quality because reddit wouldn't let me upload the full png) redditads Promoted. A heat exchanger produces 10 MJ a second, therefore it produces 10MJ / 0.097MJ = 103.0927835 steam per second. Is there any info about how much water per second Heat Exchangers use? Thus, they can buffer 500 MJ of heat energy across their working range of 500C to 1000C, and require 485 MJ of energy to warm up from 15C to 500C when initially placed. It does not require electricity or fuel to operate. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. The more heat exchangers you want to put on a single length of heat pipe, the shorter that heat pipe has to be to ensure minimal heat loss; e.g. Valve Corporation. At full 10 MW load this is 103.096 water per second. What is the ratio of water pumps to boilers? :: Factorio General They produce electricity by consuming steam, using water pumped from an offshore pump that was heated to 165C steam with boilers or to 500C steam with heat exchangers. by steinio Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:52 pm, Post Until then it is advisable to not use more than one pump per water network. It must be placed on a shoreline of a body of water on the map, and connected to a pipe or other object that accepts liquids. They only work when they're above 500 C, and have a maximum temperature of 1000 C. Temperatures above 500 don't increase efficiency; the exchanger will just store the heat, which it can then use later. Steam engines have two ports, allowing excess steam to flow through. Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . See also the applied power math tutorial to answer the question how much coal do I need? Each uranium fuel cell will power a nuclear reactor for 200 seconds. factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio Or so. If you run an odd number of reactors, you should have a 2 by X rectangle with one reactor dangling off the end. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam. Get some landfill to straighten the edge youre gonna use. 1 25k tank water disconnected from water input. Thanks. This page was last edited on 27 October 2020, at 13:19. Mark IIIs are unable to complete a full cycle without going into meltdown and thus need to be shutdown mid-cycle in order to deal with the high amount of excess heat. So the 50,000C are enough to heat up 103 units of steam per second, since 50,000 / 485 = 103.09. One Offshore pump can fully supply 12 (11.64) . Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). Hovering the mouse over a steam engine will display their current power production (Performance) and their possible power production (Available Performance), in a display on the right. So a 2x2 block produces 480MW (4*3*40). u/asdjfsjhfkdjs calculated the convergents of 500:291, and found that 7 : 4 and 55 : 32 are both fairly accurate approximations. 12. Is steam able to reach all steam engines? Pump Ratio ^ 1. Steam that has a higher temperature than the maximum temperature of the steam engine (165C) is consumed at the normal rate (30 units/s), and does not yield more electricity. . Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. Your other big concern is fluid flow, and the main constraint is the heat flow along heat pipes. The steam production rate can also be calculated using the energy consumption: 1 Heat exchanger consumes 10MW, so it's putting 10,000,000 joule of energy into heating water/steam per second. by disentius Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:15 pm, Post 9.89 gigawatts is a lot. Each heat exchanger converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. Heat pipes are used to transfer heat from your nuclear reactors to your heat exchangers. The maximum length of heat pipe you can use depends on the combined distance of your heat exchangers from your reactors. Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. by Amarula Mon Dec 02, 2019 3:51 pm, Post P UMPING U NITS M EETING P HYSICS S TANDARDS This mod started off as a project to sustain my most eco-unfriendly excessive water needs by implementing some Higher Tier Offshore Pumps. Looking for efficient setups? Since steam is produced from water in a 1:1 ratio, this also means that 103 units of water are consumed per second. Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . For more information, please see our Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. One pump can supply up to 20 boilers. That's actually just odd. This can be extended as far as you want; every additional 2 reactors will provide an additional 320 megawatts of heat output. One steam engine consumes 30 steam per second, and one offshore pump produces 1200 water per second, so each offshore pump produces enough water to supply 40 steam engines: 1200 unit/s 30 units/s = 40. Factorio Calculator Look at the windows in the pipes, hover over the pipes! turbines, exchangers and reactor ratios will vary due to neighbor bonuses. Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. Ratio of heat exchangers to turbines is 1:2, don't bother building lots of pipes for 10% les turbines. So you have 10 + 12 = 22 pipes. by disentius Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:36 pm, Post Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. factorio - Water with low pressure - Arqade Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. Factorio Reactor DesignsThis is a good measure to combat "spaghetti factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio Schall Pipe Scaling - Factorio Mods There are multiple methods to produce electricity: Each steam engine needs 0.5 boilers when running at full capacity. 75 crafting speed, while the induction furnaces use 3 * 1, so the ratio could be fine tuned a bit. Valve Corporation. If you inexplicably want to go back to a 4 year old build of Factorio then you will need to build 14 boilers in a row (they each used to heat the water up by a little bit), followed by 10 steam engines. Finally, after 20 hours of work, I present the flowchart for Pyanodon Space Science! Final ratio: 25 offshore pumps : 291 heat exchangers : 500 steam turbines. r/factorio . Neighbor bonuses make nuclear very efficient: 1 reactor = 40MW = 4 exchangers = 7 turbines There's no clear ratio as you need to account for heat bonus from other reactors but it's quite easy to calculate yourself, if you fuel the reactors it will show you produced heat in MW (with bonus) you just sum up all reactors and divide by heat exchanger power (all power/power per 1 hear exchanger) to get the number, then you do the same for turbines (all power/power per 1 turbine). So a heat exchanger generated 103 steam per second is 103 water per second I need from my offshore pump. Refer to Francis John play through video on YouTube on nuclear power. Added high graphics quality option for the steam engine. Factorio Boiler To Steam Engine Ratio5/90 and add it to the pollution The lake under the oil field looks like a nice place, letting you place offshore pumps near the center, with the turbines extending to land. So I've run into an issue with water for my Turbines. One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. fox hill country club membership cost. Heat exchangers have different dynamics to actual pipes. The heat can be used to convert water to steam using a heat exchanger and the steam can be consumed by steam turbines to produce power.

This equation could also be used to remember the vanilla optimal ratio given its simplicity. They represent the number of modules. Any experiences/suggestions/comments are welcome. The flow between pipes and heat exchangers is also different to pump to heat exchangers. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. Heat exchangers have a heat capacity of 1 MJ/C. This link for calculations. Also iirc tanks limit liquid throuput when it flows through them, so try connecting them on the side and not in-line if you have to at all. Don't know how to use a machine? If your heat pipe is too long, your reactors will max out at 1000 C before your heat exchangers can reach a steady state of 500 C, and and you'll start to waste heat. Also, the optimal ratio is: 1 offshore pump / 14 boilers / 10 steam engines is that 10 for each boiler? Steam engines will automatically adjust their power production and steam usage based on the current demands of the electricity network. Heat exchanger heats 15C water to 500C steam; It takes 0.2 kJ of burner energy to raise 1 water 1C; Steam is consumed by steam turbines at a rate of 60 units per second; (500C - 15C) 0.2 kJ 60 units = 5820 kW, or 5.82 MW. Neighbor bonuses make nuclear very efficient: 1 reactor = 40MW = 4 exchangers = 7 turbines, 2 reactor = 160MW = 16 exchangers = 28 turbines, 4 reactor = 480MW = 48 exchangers = 83 turbines. 412.36 Water requires 1 ( 0.34) Offshore Pumps (1200 per Offshore Pump ). Fresh water is at 15C while the steam produced by heat exchangers and consumed by steam turbines is at 500C, a difference of 485C, so you need 1 unit of water for each 97kJ, which is roughly 10.3 units per MJ. You may also use this to rectify brownouts/blackouts. Factorio Oil Refinery Connect water tank to exchanger for exactly 25k units water. This means that you need 1.428 MW of production (of solar panels) and 100MJ of storage to provide 1 MW of power over one day-night cycle. All rights reserved.

This page was last edited on 16 February 2022, at 11:27. A theory without practice is dead, practice without a theory is blind, this quote is attributed to commander Alexander Suvorov. Each heat exchanger takes a maximum input 10 megawatts of heat and uses it to heat water into steam. Factorio Cheat Sheet Here are the total requirements for certain amounts of reactors, with everything rounded up to guarantee maximum energy production. You can also have some steam tanks with additional turbines for power spikes (laser turrets etc) as reactors always work with 100% power tanks will store steam when you're not using it all), Factorio Cheat Sheet - That's all the information you need. 120 MW ^Note: Pumps, Steam Turbines and Power are approximate for easier build ratios. 1 offshore pump: 20 Steam Turbines. you can put 4 heat exchangers at the end of ~135 heat pipes, but you can put 16 heat exchangers only at the end of ~50 heat pipes. HolyGarbage . One exchanger 3 storage tanks plus inf heat. Give exchanger max heat you can then let the exchanger turn 25k water into steam. Steam engine - Factorio Wiki Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game. As far as I can tell, the absolute smallest perfect-ratio setup possible is: which would require an input of 1.46 uranium fuel cells per second and output a cool 46.56 gigawatts of electricity. Don't ask me how that works.). Nuclear reactors have a maximum temperature of 1000 C. Unlike boilers, nuclear reactors will not slow or stop their fuel consumption if their output isn't being used; they'll constantly use up fuel cells at the normal rate of 1 fuel cell / 200 seconds. Power production - Factorio Wiki I concur the ratio is 1:1 cerified through testing. Sushi Belt question : r/factorio. by mrvn Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:42 pm, Post by azesmbog Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:19 pm, Post you should have a 2 by X rectangle with one reactor dangling off the end. If not, ensure all. In practice, there is. The technical implementation details of Factorio's pipe system still have some room for improvement. This is taken from Accumulator / Solar Panel Ratio (which calculates this in an impressive mathematical way!) The water calculation has me stumped. The optimal ratio of accumulators per solar panel relies on many values in the game. In a vanilla game that's. what, 1k science a minute? An offshore pump produces 1200 units of water per second, which is enough for 116.4 MW. The lake under the oil field looks like a nice place, letting you place offshore pumps near the center, with the turbines extending to land. Factorio version: 0.17 - 1.1 Downloaded by: 6.01K users Summary Adds scaled up versions in different sizes for various pipes and pumps.
