It took me 4 days to figure out the ratios related to nuclear power, so I figured I'd share. Tutorial:Main bus. Here are the total requirements for certain amounts of reactors, with everything rounded up to guarantee maximum energy production. Electricity has to be produced before it can be transferred to consumers over the electric system. by Honktown Mon Dec 02, 2019 1:56 pm, Post Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. by leitk Mon Dec 02, 2019 4:29 am, Post I wasn't sure if Heat exchanger converts 1 water into 1 steam and there is nothing written in its tooltip. Factorio version: 0.17 - 1.1 Downloaded by: 6.01K users Summary Adds scaled up versions in different sizes for various pipes and pumps. What I can't find is how much water a heat exchanger *consumes* to produce the 103ish steam per second. 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. For each 100% neighbor bonus, the reactor needs 4 more heat exchangers. There are also times between day and night called dusk and dawn which complicate the calculations. fox hill country club membership cost. However I want to do a different configuration and want to plan out how many of each type of component I need. 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. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. So far I have built/replaced 3 reactor sectors to be on the lake rather than beside the lake, and I am pretty happy with the results (600 fewer pipes, 800 fewer underground pipes). 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. 12. (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. by Honktown Fri Jan 03, 2020 8:34 pm, Post

All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. (Except that you can potentially turn 8 gigajoules of uranium fuel cell into 40 gigajoules of heat. So we know that one offshore pump can supply 20 boilers but is that the same for heat exchangers? by Amarula Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:45 pm, Post Power production - Factorio Wiki Nuclear power plants mostly need a lot of water. SmartAlec105 having more than 2 steam engines per boiler could do that. Offshore P.U.M.P.S. and Ground Water - Factorio Mods This allows steam engines to be chained together. Additional comment actions. If you run an odd number of reactors, you should have a 2 by X rectangle with one reactor dangling off the end. by eradicator Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:43 pm, Post This layout produces 40 MW output ( 1 SRE ). Additional comment actions. This means a single unit of 500C steam has 5.82MW / (60/s) = 0.097 MJ of energy. A heat exchanger consumes 10 MW. #footer_privacy_policy | #footer . by Honktown Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:30 pm, Post Offshore pump/heat exchanger ratio? : r/factorio - reddit makes troubleshooting easier. These fuel cells are then burned in a nuclear reactor to create heat. 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. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. fox hill country club membership cost. 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. 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. Heat pipes (also in reactors and heat exchangers) glow with high temperatures. 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). Don't ask me how that works.). Id probably put it on or next to either of the lakes in the middle north or middle south. Each heat exchanger takes a maximum input 10 megawatts of heat and uses it to heat water into steam. A steam turbine consumes 60 units of steam per second, which is 5.82 MW. 412.36 Water requires 1 ( 0.34) Offshore Pumps (1200 per Offshore Pump ). What does clicking on an item's icon in the "Factory" tab do? A compendium of the most common Factorio game facts, such as build ratios, tips/tricks, . One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. This page was last edited on 16 February 2022, at 11:27. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. As shown, making the heat pipes thicker allows supporting heat exchangers that are farther away. 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.

(Low quality because reddit wouldn't let me upload the full png) redditads Promoted. Someone already mentioned the normal "build on a lake" strategy. Steam engines will automatically adjust their power production and steam usage based on the current demands of the electricity network. 6, crafting time is 15s, producing 0. 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). They represent the number of modules. by Bauer Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:04 pm, Post 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. Nuclear Ratios : r/factorio - reddit Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. What is the ratio of water pumps to boilers? :: Factorio General Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door .

Factorio Oil Refinery Introduction Troubled by pipes having low flow rates? This ratio is. Change fluidbox height and base level of boiler, steam engine and pump to improve fluid flow. Exchanger outputs to 2 tanks. This equation could also be used to remember the vanilla optimal ratio given its simplicity. u/asdjfsjhfkdjs calculated the convergents of 500:291, and found that 7 : 4 and 55 : 32 are both fairly accurate approximations. Since heat exchangers consume 103.1 water each, a few dozen seems reasonable if .

Added high graphics quality option for the steam engine. Post 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. However you did warn me: Save often and reload if necessary during landfilling. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). If not, ensure all. 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. When producing power, the steam engine will display a working animation: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Steam_engine&oldid=188232. 1 Answer. 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. 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. 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. by astroshak Sat Jan 04, 2020 1:58 am, Post Using steam engines for power does not produce pollution, however using boilers to heat up the water does. And probably how many Offshore Pumps you need for them? You can sideload water for a 1.1 GW plant. Each boiler is capable of producing enough 165C steam for two steam generators. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. So you have 10 + 12 = 22 pipes. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam. 1 offshore pump: 20 Steam Turbines. Do your pipes have water? 15 - Factorio Factorio Forums View topic - 0. Is steam able to reach all steam engines? Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. There is a handy table on the factorio wiki listing the throughput for different lengths of pipe between pumps. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. Water consumption for heat exchangers math : r/factorio - reddit 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. All rights reserved. In Factorio, how much fluid can a pipe transfer? - Arqade Or so. A reactor without neighbor bonus needs 4 heat exchangers so that all its heat gets consumed. HolyGarbage . Factorio - The Best Nuclear Power Ratio To generate ten fuel cells, you will need one U-235 cell and nineteen U-238 cells. It does not require electricity or fuel to operate. 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. factorio - Water with low pressure - Arqade 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 maximum length of heat pipe you can use depends on the combined distance of your heat exchangers from your reactors. Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game. chrisgbk 6 yr. ago Technically the HX consumes the water and outputs an equal amount of steam.
