<p>Skarn22: typo fix + a rewrite of one paragraph, added details. removed stub template.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Languages}}<br /> {{:Infobox:Steam turbine}}<br /> The '''steam turbine''' consumes [[steam]] to create electric energy. It is usually used together with [[heat exchanger]]s and a [[nuclear reactor]]. <br /> <br /> While designed for the 500°C steam of a nuclear reactor, turbines can still be connected to [[boiler]]s for use in conventional 165°C steam power, but the actual power production is based on the temperature of the steam, not the building itself. Unfortunately, this means that using a steam turbine is no more fuel-efficient than using a steam engine, so it's generally not recommended to use the much more expensive turbines with boiler steam. To its credit, the turbine does have double the throughput of a steam engine (it uses 60 steam and outputs 1.8MW of power) so it can still be useful to save space, especially in large power systems.<br /> <br /> == Power output ==<br /> <br /> Each Steam turbine takes a maximum input of 60 units of 500°C [[steam]] per second and outputs 5.82MW of electricity; the 5.8MW listed on the tooltip is rounded.<br /> <br /> * [[Heat exchanger]] heats 15°C [[water]] to 500°C [[steam]];<br /> * It takes 0.2kJ of [[Fuel|burner]] energy to raise 1 water 1°C;<br /> * Steam is consumed by steam turbines at a rate of 60 water/s;<br /> * (500 - 15) × 0.2 × 60 = 5820kW, or 5.82MW.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> {{History|0.15.0|<br /> * Introduced}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Nuclear power]]<br /> ** [[Heat pipe]]<br /> * [https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/67xgge/nuclear_ratios/ Nuclear ratios]<br /> <br /> {{ProductionNav}}<br /> {{C|Nuclear power}}</div>
