Industrial Turbine

New in v9 is the Turbine Multiblock. This massive structure is used to produce power from the reactor that was introduced with v8.

Components

• Turbine Casing
• Turbine Vent
• Pressure Disperser
• Turbine Blades
• Turbine Rotor
• Rotational Complex
• Electromagnetic Coil
• Turbine Valve
• Structural Glass (Optional)

Construction Notes

• Orientation can only be vertical (Unlike BR's turbine)
• Length and Width (x,z) must be equal.
• Maximum shaft height = min(2xLength-5,14) [so blades don't touch sides]
• Maximum total height = min(2xLength-1,18)
• The layer of pressure dispersers must completely fill the interior layer around the rotational complex.
• 1 coil will support 4 blades.
• Interior may ONLY be steam dispersers, coils, shaft, blades, rotational complex, or air.
• Vents limit the max flow of steam through the turbine. Each vent adds 16,000mB/t of flow rate.
• The marking of "Limiting" on the vents stat simply means that it is not "optimal ratio". You can have fewer down to your desired steam flow rate.
• Multiblock will sparkle red on final block placement, otherwise check your assembly.
• Minimal turbine size is 5x5 base with 5 blocks high.
• Maximum turbine size is 17x17 base with 18 blocks high, 28 turbine blades maximum.
• Compatible with oredict steam from other mods such as TE/TF/RC/MFR/Big Reactors.

Operation Notes

• Turbine shuts down if internal battery fills with energy. Make sure the power is always being used.
• New change to the industrial turbine is that it allows you to vent excess steam to prevent it from shutting down (Option not shown).

Miscellaneous Notes

• A 5x5x8 turbine design will produce the exact same RF/t as the highest tiered turbine from Big Reactors with the same amount of steam.
• Extra coils appear to have no effect unless it's "limiting". Extending the turbine is next logical step if more power needed.

Construction steps

1. Build the base out of turbine casings and optional structural glass. (must be square) [the perimeter must be casings not glass]
2. Place rotor shafts in the center, from the base to desired height.
3. Add turbine blades to the rotor. (two for each rotor shaft)
4. Place a rotational complex on top of the rotor.
5. Completely fill the interior layer around the rotational complex with pressure dispersers.
6. Place electromagnetic coils above the dispersers, they can be in any arrangement and amount as long as they're touching the rotational complex and each other.
7. Build the frame (the perimeters of the walls) out of turbine casings. (you may have more empty layers above the coils to make room for more vents)
8. Fill the walls, up to the height of the rotor, with turbine casings and/or structural glass and at least 2 turbine valves.
9. Fill the remaining walls and ceiling with turbine casings and/or turbine vents.
