All rights reserved. Is the factory producing enough fuel (coal, solid fuel, uranium fuel cells)? The flow between pipes and heat exchangers is also different to pump to heat exchangers. Now you have 0 waste of fuel. This means the energy that was put into the steam to heat it to a higher temperature is wasted. Finally, after 20 hours of work, I present the flowchart for Pyanodon Space Science!

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. Added high graphics quality option for the steam engine. turbines, exchangers and reactor ratios will vary due to neighbor bonuses. It's recommended to build them near or on bodies of water, as that lets you place offshore pumps where ever you want. The ideal ratio is 4 Reactors, 48 Heat Exchangers, 83 Steam Turbines and 5 Water pumps. Change fluidbox height and base level of boiler, steam engine and pump to improve fluid flow. 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. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. But the water only gets heated up from 15C to 500C, so by 485C. 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. Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . A compendium of the most common Factorio game facts, such as build ratios, tips/tricks, . This page was last edited on 16 February 2022, at 11:27. Until then it is advisable to not use more than one pump per water network. Look at the windows in the pipes, hover over the pipes! and another post in that thread (which calculates the solar panel to megawatt ratio in a different way). Factorio - The Best Nuclear Power Ratio To generate ten fuel cells, you will need one U-235 cell and nineteen U-238 cells. How do you set up a reactor to get enough water to keep producing steam? All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. 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. Give exchanger max heat you can then let the exchanger turn 25k water into steam. 1 electric pump can keep up with rate of roughly 10 water pumps if i recall, so at least you don't need to have pump and waterpump flows in parallel. A heat exchanger produces 10 MJ a second, therefore it produces 10MJ / 0.097MJ = 103.0927835 steam per second. This produces the 1:20:40 ratio. And probably how many Offshore Pumps you need for them? Introduction Troubled by pipes having low flow rates? Neighbor bonuses make nuclear very efficient: 1 reactor = 40MW = 4 exchangers = 7 turbines So a 2x2 block produces 480MW (4*3*40). Not sure where you got those numbers from, but in 0.15, small pumps and offshore pumps pump at exactly the same rate: 1200 fluid/s. The technical implementation details of Factorio's pipe system still have some room for improvement. by Amarula Fri Nov 29, 2019 3:09 pm, Post Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. by mrvn Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:45 pm, Powered by phpBB Forum Software phpBB Limited. 15 - Factorio Factorio Forums View topic - 0. Privacy Policy. Since steam is produced from water in a 1:1 ratio, this also means that 103 units of water are consumed per second. 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. The offshore pump produces water from a lake or ocean. 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. A theory without practice is dead, practice without a theory is blind, this quote is attributed to commander Alexander Suvorov. If I know how much energy i'm outputting from my reactors -> figure out how many turbines -> figure out how many heat exchangers -> How many pumps do I need? In practice, there is. Sushi Belt question : r/factorio. One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. Each steam turbine take a maximum input of 60 units of 500 C steam per second and outputs 5.82 megawatts of electricity; the 5.8 megawatts listed on the tooltip is rounded. In general, nuclear power is produced by the following production chain: Uranium ore is mined and processed to uranium-235 and uranium-238, then uranium fuel cells are created from the two. 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. It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. This layout produces 40 MW output ( 1 SRE ). I wasn't sure if Heat exchanger converts 1 water into 1 steam and there is nothing written in its tooltip. Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. Final ratio: 25 offshore pumps : 291 heat exchangers : 500 steam turbines. Heat pipes are used to transfer heat from your nuclear reactors to your heat exchangers. Additional comment actions. If not, ensure all. by Honktown Mon Dec 02, 2019 1:56 pm, Post 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. This page was last edited on 13 September 2019, at 23:48. This means a single unit of 500C steam has 5.82MW / (60/s) = 0.097 MJ of energy. Post Get some landfill to straighten the edge youre gonna use. Water: is a liquid which can be infinitely extracted from water tiles using an offshore pump; Steam: is a gas you can create by heating water in a boiler or heat exchanger; Other Factorio Guides: Boiler to Steam Ratio; Solar Panel Ratio; Console Commands & Cheats Don't know how to use a machine? All rights reserved. HolyGarbage . Ratio of reactors to whatever is 2x2 480MW reactor to 10MW heat exchanger, ratio of reactors to miners is 1:4 iirc, so double that miners, You will need 1x2 chunks space near water, so anywhere, maybe next to Oil Field's Uranium patch. This page was last edited on 27 October 2020, at 13:19. Then have a simple trigger than turns your nuclear plant on and off based on the storage tank steam levels. Looking for efficient setups? One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. What does clicking on an item's icon in the "Factory" tab do? 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. by azesmbog Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:19 pm, Post 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. This is taken from Accumulator / Solar Panel Ratio (which calculates this in an impressive mathematical way!) Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game. Do your pipes have water? Ratio of reactors to whatever is 2x2 480MW reactor to 10MW heat exchanger, ratio of reactors to miners is 1:4 iirc, so double that miners. One exchanger 3 storage tanks plus inf heat. fox hill country club membership cost. Pump Ratio ^ 1. A powered nuclear reactor outputs 40 megawatts of heat, plus an additional 40 megawatts for each powered nuclear reactor directly adjacent to it. Valve Corporation. 9.89 gigawatts is a lot. A heat exchanger consumes 10 MW. 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. That's actually just odd. In vanilla factorio, without mods which change any of these values, the optimal ratio will be the same. Each heat exchanger converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . Yes, there is also a maximum throughput for water that depends on the distance the . Additional comment actions. So the 50,000C are enough to heat up 103 units of steam per second, since 50,000 / 485 = 103.09. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. can you post a screenshot/blueprint? This link for calculations. Tutorial:Main bus. 40 MW of power output is consumed by 4 Heat Exchangers (10MW per Heat Exchanger ). The current optimal ratio is 1 offshore pump to 20 boilers to 40 steam engines. 1 offshore pump: 20 Steam 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 we know that one offshore pump can supply 20 boilers but is that the same for heat exchangers? chrisgbk 6 yr. ago Technically the HX consumes the water and outputs an equal amount of steam.

This ratio is. So you have 10 + 12 = 22 pipes. See also the applied power math tutorial to answer the question how much coal do I need? If you overbuild reactors, you can end up wasting a lot of fuel cells without realizing it. I think it is easiest to just have an abundance of storage tanks for the steam. 20. Do the numbers in the "beacons" column represent the number of modules or the number of beacons? Or so. Factorio version: 0.17 - 1.1 Downloaded by: 6.01K users Summary Adds scaled up versions in different sizes for various pipes and pumps. It produces 1200 units of water per second. Then you just connect the reactors to exchangers and exchangers to turbines, also you need about 1 water pump per 10 exchangers (in vanilla). Heat exchangers have a heat capacity of 1 MJ/C. factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio These fuel cells are then burned in a nuclear reactor to create heat. 6, crafting time is 15s, producing 0. The optimal ratio is 0.84 (21:25) accumulators per solar panel, and 23.8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory (this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators).

The main thing to remember is that Factorio generally follows the laws of thermodynamics; if your nuclear reactor produces 40 megawatts of heat, you can get a maximum of 40 megawatts of electricity out the other side. The main thing to remember is that Factorio generally follows the laws of thermodynamics; if your nuclear reactor produces 40 megawatts of heat, you can get a maximum of 40 megawatts of electricity out the other side. 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. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. by gGeorg Sat Dec 07, 2019 1:00 am, Post 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). by Amarula Mon Dec 02, 2019 3:51 pm, Post They represent the number of modules. The Factorio devs plan some refactoring for the upcoming version 0.17. So I've run into an issue with water for my Turbines. EDIT NOTE: The original version of the post used the wrong output for steam turbines (5.8 MW instead of 5.82). Designed for supporting scaled up machines from "Schall Machine Scaling" mod. Press J to jump to the feed. Since heat exchangers consume 103.1 water each, a few dozen seems reasonable if . Remember that water in pipes still obeys Factorio physics; if you pipe your water a long distance, you may not get the full 1200/s. There is a handy table on the factorio wiki listing the throughput for different lengths of pipe between pumps. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam . What I can't find is how much water a heat exchanger *consumes* to produce the 103ish steam per second. by Honktown Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:30 pm, Post One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. Valve Corporation. As each heat exchanger produces 10 MW, the optimal ratio is 500 steam turbines for every 291 heat exchangers. This equation could also be used to remember the vanilla optimal ratio given its simplicity. The water calculation has me stumped. Perfectly optimal solar network (Factorio forums), 1 solar panel produces 42KW after factoring in the night (Factorio forums), https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Power_production&oldid=182968. Press J to jump to the feed. A "close enough" ratio is 20:24:1 accumulators to solar panels to megawatts required (for example, a factory requiring 10 MW can be approximately entirely powered, day and night, by 200 accumulators and 240 solar panels - this approximation differs from optimal only in that it calls for 20 extra solar panels, which is negligible but remember that the difference between the "close enough" ratio and the optimal ratio increases as you add more solar panels). 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. (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). Is there any info about how much water per second Heat Exchangers use? There are multiple methods to produce electricity: Each steam engine needs 0.5 boilers when running at full capacity. 412.36 Water requires 1 ( 0.34) Offshore Pumps (1200 per Offshore Pump ). By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. (Except that you can potentially turn 8 gigajoules of uranium fuel cell into 40 gigajoules of heat. As shown, making the heat pipes thicker allows supporting heat exchangers that are farther away. Try this checklist before you completely revamp your power source. using 3 pumps and a tank, you can feed 28 heat exchangers. Exchanger outputs to 2 tanks. Each heat exchanger converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. However you did warn me: Save often and reload if necessary during landfilling. A heat exchanger consumes 10 MW. These include the power generation of a solar panel, the energy storage of an accumulator, the length of a day, and the length of a night. Are there enough steam generators (boilers, heat exchangers)? The glow of the heat pipes indicates temperature, with left ends being at the upper limit of 1000C. Valve Corporation. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). 1 Answer. All rights reserved. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Using steam engines for power does not produce pollution, however using boilers to heat up the water does. u/asdjfsjhfkdjs calculated the convergents of 500:291, and found that 7 : 4 and 55 : 32 are both fairly accurate approximations. At full 10 MW load this is 103.096 water per second. by astroshak Sat Jan 04, 2020 1:58 am, Post Is steam able to reach all steam engines? Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. by eradicator Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:43 pm, Post You can sideload water for a 1.1 GW plant. SmartAlec105 having more than 2 steam engines per boiler could do that. An offshore pump produces 1200 units of water per second, which is enough for 116.4 MW.

Build the reactor over a lake, with careful placement of landfill you can have pumps directly feeding each end of the heat exchanger line. Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. Each heat exchanger takes a maximum input 10 megawatts of heat and uses it to heat water into steam. by leitk Mon Dec 02, 2019 4:29 am, Post It does not require electricity or fuel to operate. 120 MW ^Note: Pumps, Steam Turbines and Power are approximate for easier build ratios. 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. by astroshak Wed Jan 08, 2020 11:15 am, Post which, given the default time lengths of: day = 12500/60 s; dawn or dusk = 5000/60 s; night = 2500/60 s, and the default: Solar_power = 60 kW; Accumulator_energy = 5 MJ = 5000 kJ, gives the optimal ratio of 0.84 accumulators per solar panel. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. 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. 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. Factorio version: 1.1 Downloaded by: 1.88K users WHAT IS OFFSHORE P.U.M.P.S.? Electricity has to be produced before it can be transferred to consumers over the electric system. Each uranium fuel cell will power a nuclear reactor for 200 seconds. Use the lake west of your copper mine. One boiler consumes 1. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. Tileable Nuclear Reactor Design. 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. and our Steam engines have two ports, allowing excess steam to flow through. Yogi Berra. One pump can supply up to 20 boilers. Heat exchangers are pipes too. 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. There are mods that can add landfill tiles to existing blueprints if you're up for modding and using a blueprint rather than making your own reactor, and this design is one of my favourites - not objectively "best" perhaps, but has a certain elegance that I deeply appreciate alongside a decent serving of entirely respectable practicality. A reactor produces 40MW, plus another 40MW for each active neighbouring reactor. I concur the ratio is 1:1 cerified through testing. https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Heat_exchanger&oldid=175988. Each boiler is capable of producing enough 165C steam for two steam generators. 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.
