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 it's gas input.

Notes

  • Use a pressure regulator on the input and start it as low as 1kpa, recommended to connect to a Kit (Battery) and to automate it as backup power.
  • Can be used in conjunction with a Electrolyzer to generate it's fuel.
  • The output is a gas mix of CO2, Pollutants, and tiny amounts of uncombusted O2 and Volatiles. 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 good fuel mix (33/64 O/H2) can generate up to 80kW.
  • If allowed to accumulate fuel (by leaving the pressure regulator on) it will cause shorts in power circuits as it tries to consume the amount that has built up. This is evident by the gauge on the front which will rapidly rise into the red. This can be resolved by running the generator without connecting it to power circuits, and with the regulator off until all fuel has been burned.

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.
RatioWater Float Returns a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the percentage ratio of the amount of water in the Gas Generator.
Maximum Integer (Unknown) Returns 100.
Ratio Float (Unknown) Returns 0.5.
On Boolean Returns whether the Gas Generator is turned on. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
