High-Pressure Turbine II

High-pressure Turbine II

T2

Uses high pressure steam to create mechanical power.

Construction	80
Workers	4
Electricity	None
Maintenance	3.0 / 60
Footprint	7x5
Required Research	Power Generation IV
Designation	Power Production
Variants	High-Pressure Turbine Low-Pressure Turbine Low-Pressure Turbine II

The High-pressure Turbine II is a direct upgrade of the High-Pressure Turbine. Compared to the High-pressure Turbine, it can accept twice as much Steam (High), generates twice as much Mechanical Power, has twice the Maintenance cost and requires twice the Workers. It has the same footprint, has the same inputs/outputs, and the input/output locations line up exactly the same.

Efficiency

Efficiency is a ratio of produced Mechanical Power over used Steam (High).

The efficiency will go down in the following cases:

• The charge of the connected shaft is more than 80% of its capacity.

  Efficiency(%) = 100 - 500 × {(Charge of shaft / Capacity of shaft) - 0.8}

• The turbine is in starting up, that is, 28.4 from starting supplying Steam (High) or restarting from idling.

  Efficiency(%) = 3.78 × Time from start ()

Decreasing the efficiency in starting up means the production of Mechanical Power will go down drastically when provided Steam (High) is less than required. For example, if the turbine gets 7.5 / 10 (45 / 60 ) of Steam (High), it produces only 0.33 MW of Mechanical Power on average.

Auto-balance

When auto-balance is enabled, the turbine will be automatically idle once the charge of the connected shaft reaches 80% of its capacity. The turbine restart once the shaft's charge gets to 35%. This option is valid to save steam. However, it takes time to get to full power on the turbine restarting. So enough flywheels should be connected for a stable electric supply when auto-balance is enabled.
