Boiler
A multiblock that produce steam
Overview
The Boiler is a multiblock used to generate steam by burning fuel to heat up water.
Construction
Materials
- Boiler Casings
Ports
- Item Input Bus: For fuel.
- Fluid Input Hatch: For water.
- Fluid Output Hatch: For steam.
Attention
Ports block must be in the same layer with the Boiler controller.
Building
Wallsharing
Boiler can do wallsharing
Using a Multiblock Projector will help you building the Boiler easily.
Operation
Fueling
Supply fuel (Coal, Logs, Planks) to the Item Input Bus:
- Coal burns for 1600 ticks.
- Logs burn for 800 ticks.
- Planks burn for 400 ticks.
Heating
As fuel burns, the boiler's temperature increases. Steam production begins once the temperature reaches the boiling point (default: 100 Celsius degree).
Output
Tip
Water consumption scales with current heat vs max heat.
Steam is produced in the Output Hatch based on the expansion ratio.
