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. by astroshak Wed Jan 08, 2020 11:15 am, Post Don't ask me how that works.) This means the energy that was put into the steam to heat it to a higher temperature is wasted. Any experiences/suggestions/comments are welcome. In vanilla factorio, without mods which change any of these values, the optimal ratio will be the same. 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. One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. Connect water tank to exchanger for exactly 25k units water. The ideal ratio is 4 Reactors, 48 Heat Exchangers, 83 Steam Turbines and 5 Water pumps. Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. 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). The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam . Someone already mentioned the normal "build on a lake" strategy. Nuclear power plants mostly need a lot of water. So a 2x2 block produces 480MW (4*3*40). So the 50,000C are enough to heat up 103 units of steam per second, since 50,000 / 485 = 103.09. Is there any info about how much water per second Heat Exchangers use? 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. A steam turbine consumes 60 units of steam per second, which is 5.82 MW. r/factorio . Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . For more information, please see our chrisgbk 6 yr. ago Technically the HX consumes the water and outputs an equal amount of steam. by steinio Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:52 pm, Post Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . 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. There is a handy table on the factorio wiki listing the throughput for different lengths of pipe between pumps. I get that offshore pumps produce 1200 units of water per second.

Refer to Francis John play through video on YouTube on nuclear power. When producing power, the steam engine will display a working animation: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Steam_engine&oldid=188232. 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. The most heat exchangers I've been able to fit on a single length of heat pipe is 30 heat exchangers on 44 heat pipes; any more than that incurs significant heat loss. And probably how many Offshore Pumps you need for them? The technical implementation details of Factorio's pipe system still have some room for improvement. One pump can supply up to 20 boilers. 120 MW ^Note: Pumps, Steam Turbines and Power are approximate for easier build ratios. 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. Added high graphics quality option for the steam engine. https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Heat_exchanger&oldid=175988. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. So you have 10 + 12 = 22 pipes. I've confirmed that the true value is indeed 5.82, and updated everything accordingly. Factorio - The Best Nuclear Power Ratio To generate ten fuel cells, you will need one U-235 cell and nineteen U-238 cells. Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. 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. 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. 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 How do you set up a reactor to get enough water to keep producing steam? One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. If the player uses mods which change the power generation of solar panels, or the energy storage of accumulators, but not the length of days, a simplified version of this equation can be used.

Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. Hence, each water pump can support a maximum of 40 steam generators. turbines, exchangers and reactor ratios will vary due to neighbor bonuses. 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. Each boiler is capable of producing enough 165C steam for two steam generators. Each heat exchanger converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. The steam produced is exactly 500C hot, even if the exchanger is hotter. Or so. It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. 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. Each heat exchanger takes a maximum input 10 megawatts of heat and uses it to heat water into steam. The current optimal ratio is 1 offshore pump to 20 boilers to 40 steam engines. Ratio of heat exchangers to turbines is 1:2, don't bother building lots of pipes for 10% les turbines. Electricity has to be produced before it can be transferred to consumers over the electric system. 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. That's actually just odd. Using steam engines for power does not produce pollution, however using boilers to heat up the water does. Since steam is produced from water in a 1:1 ratio, this also means that 103 units of water are consumed per second. Change fluidbox height and base level of boiler, steam engine and pump to improve fluid flow. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. There are multiple methods to produce electricity: Each steam engine needs 0.5 boilers when running at full capacity. These fuel cells are then burned in a nuclear reactor to create heat. by astroshak Sat Jan 04, 2020 1:58 am, Post If not, ensure all. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. A theory without practice is dead, practice without a theory is blind, this quote is attributed to commander Alexander Suvorov. I wasn't sure if Heat exchanger converts 1 water into 1 steam and there is nothing written in its tooltip. Tileable Nuclear Reactor Design. 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. Stuck in a mission? As shown, making the heat pipes thicker allows supporting heat exchangers that are farther away. Heat exchangers are pipes too. Pump Ratio ^ 1. Heat pipes (also in reactors and heat exchangers) glow with high temperatures. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. One boiler consumes 1. 15 - Factorio Factorio Forums View topic - 0. Try this checklist before you completely revamp your power source. 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. 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. Tutorial:Main bus. Final ratio: 25 offshore pumps : 291 heat exchangers : 500 steam turbines. On a lake, very carefully - they consume a monstrous amount of water, and having the multiple required offshore pumps integrated directly into the design is often worth the hassle of wrangling landfill. A heat exchanger produces 10 MJ a second, therefore it produces 10MJ / 0.097MJ = 103.0927835 steam per second. by Honktown Mon Dec 02, 2019 1:56 pm, Post 1 25k tank water disconnected from water input. Is steam able to reach all steam engines? 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. An offshore pump produces 1200 units of water per second, which is enough for 116.4 MW. Yogi Berra. fox hill country club membership cost. At full 10 MW load this is 103.096 water per second. Heat exchangers have a heat capacity of 1 MJ/C. makes troubleshooting easier. 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). If you overbuild reactors, you can end up wasting a lot of fuel cells without realizing it. Then have a simple trigger than turns your nuclear plant on and off based on the storage tank steam levels. I concur the ratio is 1:1 cerified through testing. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. However you did warn me: Save often and reload if necessary during landfilling. Until then it is advisable to not use more than one pump per water network. This page was last edited on 16 February 2022, at 11:27. 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. Here are the total requirements for certain amounts of reactors, with everything rounded up to guarantee maximum energy production. This produces the 1:20:40 ratio. To heat up 1 unit of water 1 degree, 200 joules are needed, so the heat exchanger is heating up water by 50,000C in total. Sushi Belt question : r/factorio. Don't know how to use a machine? by Honktown Mon Jan 06, 2020 6:52 pm, Post by leitk Mon Dec 02, 2019 4:29 am, Post 6, crafting time is 15s, producing 0. This equation could also be used to remember the vanilla optimal ratio given its simplicity. The throughput of a fluid pipe depends on the length of said pipe, but you can put in pumps to pressurize the pipe and increase the throughput. EDIT NOTE: The original version of the post used the wrong output for steam turbines (5.8 MW instead of 5.82). by mrvn Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:41 pm, Post 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. by Amarula Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:45 pm, Post Calculator for the Nuclear Reactor. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. 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. by mrvn Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:42 pm, Post This link for calculations. If the only effect the mod has on the game is it changes the total length of one day, without changing the ratio of dusk: day: dawn: night, then the equation can be simplified as. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. Are there enough steam generators (boilers, heat exchangers)? 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. Valve Corporation. by azesmbog Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:19 pm, Post Your other big concern is fluid flow, and the main constraint is the heat flow along heat pipes. 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. This layout produces 40 MW output ( 1 SRE ). Each uranium fuel cell will power a nuclear reactor for 200 seconds. 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. Privacy Policy. can you post a screenshot/blueprint? (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). You may also use this to rectify brownouts/blackouts. Valve Corporation. However I want to do a different configuration and want to plan out how many of each type of component I need. Also, before you set it up, make sure you nuke any landfill land to get a little pollution absorption to help manage your Fun fumes cloud. What I can't find is how much water a heat exchanger *consumes* to produce the 103ish steam per second. This allows steam engines to be chained together. by disentius Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:15 pm, Post All rights reserved. HolyGarbage . A perfect square of reactors has the highest theoretical efficiency, but at 3x3 and above you'll have reactors surrounded on all 4 sides and have no way to load the uranium fuel cells. factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio 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. Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. Since heat exchangers consume 103.1 water each, a few dozen seems reasonable if . (Except that you can potentially turn 8 gigajoules of uranium fuel cell into 40 gigajoules of heat. and our 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. It's recommended to build them near or on bodies of water, as that lets you place offshore pumps where ever you want.

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). Additional comment actions. 12. 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. The flow between pipes and heat exchangers is also different to pump to heat exchangers. Finally, after 20 hours of work, I present the flowchart for Pyanodon Space Science! Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. Use the lake west of your copper mine. Each offshore pump outputs 1200 units of water per second. Additional comment actions. They represent the number of modules. 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.
