Each heat exchanger converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. All rights reserved. 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. Refer to Francis John play through video on YouTube on nuclear power. Nuclear power plants mostly need a lot of water. 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? Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America), https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Nuclear_power#Neighbor_bonus. by mrvn Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:41 pm, Post 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. The number of boilers can be derived from the number of steam engines: 40 2 = 20. can you post a screenshot/blueprint? by azesmbog Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:19 pm, Post Place some pipes or a tank at the end to see if there is really water coming through. An offshore pump produces 1200 units of water per second, which is enough for 116.4 MW. A heat exchanger produces 10 MJ a second, therefore it produces 10MJ / 0.097MJ = 103.0927835 steam per second. 15 - Factorio Factorio Forums View topic - 0. (Low quality because reddit wouldn't let me upload the full png) redditads Promoted. fox hill country club membership cost. 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. 9.89 gigawatts is a lot. Heat exchangers produce ~103 steam with a temperature of 500C every second. As each heat exchanger produces 10 MW, the optimal ratio is 500 steam turbines for every 291 heat exchangers. One pump can supply up to 20 boilers. The flow between pipes and heat exchangers is also different to pump to heat exchangers. Then have a simple trigger than turns your nuclear plant on and off based on the storage tank steam levels. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. The water calculation has me stumped. 75 crafting speed, while the induction furnaces use 3 * 1, so the ratio could be fine tuned a bit. For each 100% neighbor bonus, the reactor needs 4 more heat exchangers. 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. In a vanilla game that's. what, 1k science a minute? Give exchanger max heat you can then let the exchanger turn 25k water into steam. 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 converts 103 water to 103 steam, feeding 1.72 turbines. using 3 pumps and a tank, you can feed 28 heat exchangers. And probably how many Offshore Pumps you need for them? 1 offshore pump: 20 Steam Turbines. (Except that you can potentially turn 8 gigajoules of uranium fuel cell into 40 gigajoules of heat. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam . The optimal ratio of accumulators per solar panel relies on many values in the game. Don't know how to use a machine? by Amarula Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:45 pm, Post If you overbuild reactors, you can end up wasting a lot of fuel cells without realizing it. 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 ideal ratio is 4 Reactors, 48 Heat Exchangers, 83 Steam Turbines and 5 Water pumps. Each heat exchanger takes a maximum input 10 megawatts of heat and uses it to heat water into steam. Until then it is advisable to not use more than one pump per water network. When producing power, the steam engine will display a working animation: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Steam_engine&oldid=188232. The steam produced is exactly 500C hot, even if the exchanger is hotter. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. This means the energy that was put into the steam to heat it to a higher temperature is wasted. This allows steam engines to be chained together. All rights reserved. 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. I concur the ratio is 1:1 cerified through testing. 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. One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. chrisgbk 6 yr. ago Technically the HX consumes the water and outputs an equal amount of steam. Here are the total requirements for certain amounts of reactors, with everything rounded up to guarantee maximum energy production. factorio offshore pump heat exchanger ratio Steam engines will automatically adjust their power production and steam usage based on the current demands of the electricity network. 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 By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power. 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. Designed for supporting scaled up machines from "Schall Machine Scaling" mod. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. 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.

That's actually just odd. Additional comment actions. The Factorio devs plan some refactoring for the upcoming version 0.17. Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500C. 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. 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. Also, the optimal ratio is: 1 offshore pump / 14 boilers / 10 steam engines is that 10 for each boiler? by eradicator Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:43 pm, Post Look at the windows in the pipes, hover over the pipes! by Bauer Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:04 pm, Post A heat exchanger produces 10 MJ a second, therefore it produces 10MJ / 0.097MJ = 103.0927835 steam per second. Calculator for the Nuclear Reactor. 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. Factorio version: 1.1 Downloaded by: 1.88K users WHAT IS OFFSHORE P.U.M.P.S.? Includes pipe, pipe to ground, pump, offshore pump, heat pipe. 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. 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. A powered nuclear reactor outputs 40 megawatts of heat, plus an additional 40 megawatts for each powered nuclear reactor directly adjacent to it. This layout produces 40 MW output ( 1 SRE ). They represent the number of modules. u/asdjfsjhfkdjs calculated the convergents of 500:291, and found that 7 : 4 and 55 : 32 are both fairly accurate approximations.

Factorio - The Best Nuclear Power Ratio To generate ten fuel cells, you will need one U-235 cell and nineteen U-238 cells. Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. If you run an odd number of reactors, you should have a 2 by X rectangle with one reactor dangling off the end. It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. 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. Get some landfill to straighten the edge youre gonna use. Looking for efficient setups? Each boiler is capable of producing enough 165C steam for two steam generators. 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. It does not require electricity or fuel to operate. 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's recommended to build them near or on bodies of water, as that lets you place offshore pumps where ever you want. by Honktown Fri Jan 03, 2020 8:34 pm, Post 40 MW of power output is consumed by 4 Heat Exchangers (10MW per Heat Exchanger ). But the water only gets heated up from 15C to 500C, so by 485C. Geplaatst op 3 juli 2022 door . Change fluidbox height and base level of boiler, steam engine and pump to improve fluid flow. One steam engine consumes 900kW of energy stored in steam, so each boiler can supply 2 steam engines: 1.8MW 0.9MW = 2. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Tileable Nuclear Reactor Design. 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. I think it is easiest to just have an abundance of storage tanks for the steam. Stuck in a mission? by astroshak Sat Jan 04, 2020 1:58 am, Post HolyGarbage . by disentius Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:36 pm, Post r/factorio . 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. A theory without practice is dead, practice without a theory is blind, this quote is attributed to commander Alexander Suvorov. Using steam engines for power does not produce pollution, however using boilers to heat up the water does. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. 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. by mrvn Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:45 pm, Powered by phpBB Forum Software phpBB Limited. Are there enough steam generators (boilers, heat exchangers)? 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. As shown, making the heat pipes thicker allows supporting heat exchangers that are farther away. Introduction Troubled by pipes having low flow rates? You can sideload water for a 1.1 GW plant. The current optimal ratio is 1 offshore pump to 20 boilers to 40 steam engines. Tutorial:Main bus. 12. (Except that you can potentially turn 8 gigajoules of uranium fuel cell into 40 gigajoules of heat. Then you just connect the reactors to exchangers and exchangers to turbines, also you need about 1 water pump per 10 exchangers (in vanilla). It takes 200J to heat 1 unit of water by 1C. Exchanger outputs to 2 tanks. You can check the usage on the turbines as well as the production stat on the offshore pump. One boiler consumes 1. This page was last edited on 27 October 2020, at 13:19. Now you have 0 waste of fuel. A reactor produces 40MW, plus another 40MW for each active neighbouring reactor. . 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. Press J to jump to the feed. EDIT NOTE: The original version of the post used the wrong output for steam turbines (5.8 MW instead of 5.82). 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. So we know that one offshore pump can supply 20 boilers but is that the same for heat exchangers? I've confirmed that the true value is indeed 5.82, and updated everything accordingly. Valve Corporation. Each uranium fuel cell will power a nuclear reactor for 200 seconds. Neighbor bonuses make nuclear very efficient: 1 reactor = 40MW = 4 exchangers = 7 turbines There is a handy table on the factorio wiki listing the throughput for different lengths of pipe between pumps. 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. Additional comment actions. The true maximally efficient layout is a 2 by X rectangle; this gives you access to every reactor. 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. Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. 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. What does clicking on an item's icon in the "Factory" tab do? by Amarula Fri Nov 29, 2019 3:09 pm, Post Added high graphics quality option for the steam engine. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. This equation could also be used to remember the vanilla optimal ratio given its simplicity.

Don't ask me how that works.) The maximum length of heat pipe you can use depends on the combined distance of your heat exchangers from your reactors. One offshore pump can supply 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. by Honktown Mon Jan 06, 2020 6:52 pm, Post The current optimal ratio is 1 offshore pump to 20 boilers to 40 steam engines. 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. Cookie Notice Id probably put it on or next to either of the lakes in the middle north or middle south. 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. Someone already mentioned the normal "build on a lake" strategy. 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). In vanilla factorio, without mods which change any of these values, the optimal ratio will be the same. One exchanger 3 storage tanks plus inf heat. Is there any info about how much water per second Heat Exchangers use? 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. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a heat connection and water to produce steam. turbines, exchangers and reactor ratios will vary due to neighbor bonuses.

So I've run into an issue with water for my Turbines. Yogi Berra. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. 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. Doubled the heat capacity of water from 0.1kJ per degree per liter to 0.2kJ. This is taken from Accumulator / Solar Panel Ratio (which calculates this in an impressive mathematical way!) The offshore pump produces water from a lake or ocean. 120 MW ^Note: Pumps, Steam Turbines and Power are approximate for easier build ratios. Don't ask me how that works.). (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Heat pipes (also in reactors and heat exchangers) glow with high temperatures. I get that offshore pumps produce 1200 units of water per second. A heat exchanger consumes 10 MW. Heat exchangers are pipes too. and another post in that thread (which calculates the solar panel to megawatt ratio in a different way). So the 50,000C are enough to heat up 103 units of steam per second, since 50,000 / 485 = 103.09. A reactor without neighbor bonus needs 4 heat exchangers so that all its heat gets consumed. Each turbine consume 60 water/s so 1200/60=20 turbines. 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. Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. Steam engines have two ports, allowing excess steam to flow through. Valve Corporation. Originally posted by Alaskan Glitch: The ratio is one water pump will supply a maximum of 20 boilers with water. Heat pipes are used to transfer heat from your nuclear reactors to your heat exchangers. Pump Ratio ^ 1. At full 10 MW load this is 103.096 water per second. 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.
