Description
A machine that converts solid fuel to energy. It generates up to 20 kW per game-tick (40 kJ/s).
| Fuel | Time to burn | Total energy (per Unit burnt) |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | 5 s | 200 kJ (55.5 Wh) |
| Charcoal | 1 s ¹ | 40 kJ (11.1 Wh) ¹ |
| Solid Fuel (Hydrocarbon) | 10 s | 400 kJ (111 Wh) |
¹ The machine has a minimum runtime of 3 seconds. Burning one unit of charcoal (stack size = 1) generates a total of 120 kJ (33.3 Wh).
Generation
This generator outputs energy dependent on the demand, up to 20kW. In particular, it can be connected to a cable coil if the demand is up to 5kW. Higher demand requires a heavy cable coil. Demands lower than 20kW result in an energy loss, as this generator burns fuel at a constant rate independent of the demand. The generator should therefore be one of the first things to automate, either with logic chips or IC10 code. A simple guide for automating the generator with logic is available.
Energy storage
This generator fully charges a station battery (with a heavy cable coil) with the following:
| Fuel | Amount |
|---|---|
| Coal | 18 units |
| Charcoal | 90 units ¹ |
| Solid Fuel (Hydrocarbon) | 9 units |
¹ Burning charcoal efficiently (stack size = 1) reduces this value to 30 units.
Waste
This generator exhaust gases to its surroundings as follows:
| Fuel | Carbon Dioxide | Pollutant | Output Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coal | 10 mol | 3 mol | 473.15 K (200.0 °C) |
| Charcoal | 3 mol | 3 mol | 673.15 K (400.0 °C) |
| Solid Fuel (Hydrocarbon) | 5 mol | 20 mol | 473.15 K (200.0 °C) |
