(Corrected conjunctive 'it's' to posessive 'its' where called for.)
(updated for reduction of output with O2 fuel and addition of NO2 fuel. the 1kpa starting point is also probably too high now, since 1.2kpa is enough for full speed operation. removed the note about fuel buildup since it seems irrelevant now.)

Description

As the big brother of the Portable Generator the Gas Generator requires fuel and outputs crazy amounts of power if you don't throttle its gas input.

Notes

  • Use a pressure regulator on the input and start it as low as 0.1kpa (Use a Labeller to enter decimal values), since it can be difficult to keep cool.
  • Recommended to connect to a Kit (Battery) and to automate it as backup power.
  • Can be used in conjunction with a Electrolyzer to generate its fuel.
  • The output is a gas mix of CO2, Pollutants, and tiny amounts of uncombusted fuel. It is not water, as would be implied by its compatibility with the Electrolyzer.
  • Requires to be placed in an atmosphere to work. Minimum pressure of 20 kPA and temperature ranging between 278-328 degrees Kelvin (5-55 Celsius)
  • With a standard fuel mix (33/67 O/H2) can generate up to 12kW. With NO2 fuel mix (50/50 NO2/H2) this rises to 18kW.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters, that can be written to with a Logic Writer or a Batch Writer. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Writer's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Parameter Name Data Type Description
Setting Float (Unknown) Affects the Setting output.
On Boolean Turns the Gas Generator on, when set to 1. Turns it off, when set to 0.

Data Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Output Name Data Type Description
Power Boolean Returns whether the Gas Generator is turned on and receives power. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Error Boolean Returns whether the Gas Generator is flashing an error. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Pressure Float Returns the pressure in the Gas Generator in kilo pascal.
Temperature Float Returns the temperature in the Gas Generator in kelvin.
Setting Float (Unknown) Affected by the Setting parameter.
RatioOxygen Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of oxygen in the Gas Generator.
RatioCarbonDioxide Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of carbon dioxide in the Gas Generator.
RatioNitrogen Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of nitrogen in the Gas Generator.
RatioPollutant Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of pollutant in the Gas Generator.
RatioVolatiles Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of volatiles in the Gas Generator.
