Electric Blast Furnace (GregTech 5)/de

Der Elektrohochofen, oder EBF (eng. Electric Blast Furnace), ist eine industrielle Weiterentwicklung des konventionellen Ofens. Dieser ist eine 3x3x4 Multiblock-Struktur, angetrieben mittels Elektrizität (EU), und erlaubt die Verhüttung von fortschrittlicheren Materialien im Gegensatz zum Ofen.



Konstruktion
The Electric Blast Furnace is a 4-block high hollow 3x3 box. The top layer is constructed from 8 Heat Proof Machine Casings around one. The Muffler Hatch must be facing up and must be facing an air block.

The two hollow middle layers are constructed from 16.

The bottom layer is more mixed, and must contain the following: The bottom layer may also contain 1, used to input fluid Oxygen gas for some recipes.
 * 1 Electric Blast Furnace control block, placed in the middle of a side
 * 1
 * 1 or more es
 * 1 or more es
 * 1 or more es
 * 0-4 Heat Proof Machine Casings, occupying the space not used by the other components

The control block is crafted as follows:

There are two limitations on what materials an Electric Blast Furnace can smelt: Voltage and Heat Capacity. Both are determined by the structure of the EBF. Voltage is determined by the tier and number of es used. Heat Capacity is determined by what were used.

Cupronickel Coils have a Heating Capacity of 1800 Kelvin.

Kanthal Coils have a Heating Capacity of 2700 Kelvin.

Nichrome Coils have a Heating Capacity of 3600 Kelvin.

Do not mix different types of Heating Coils.

Usage
All Electric Blast Furnace recipes consume either 120EU/t or 500EU/t. However, the MV Energy Hatch requires Aluminium to craft, and Aluminium cannot be smelted outside an EBF. Therefore, the first time an EBF is constructed, in order to operate, its structure must contain 3 LV Energy Hatches. (Two would be enough ordinarily, but if any Maintenance problems are present, the EBF's energy consumption jumps from 120EU/t to 132EU/t, greater than the 128EU/t afforded by two LV Energy Hatches.)

Power is the most important problem with using an EBF. As it requires MV Electricity when only LV is available, it requires 5 Basic s, s, or. 5 Steam Turbines consume 510L Steam/tick, equal to 34 s, 17 s, or one fairly expensive. If, however, a supply of Oil is readily available, a can easily supply enough Diesel to run a Blast Furnace.

Eine der Hauptaufgaben des elektrischen Hochofens ist es, Eisen zu Stahl zu schmelzen. Obwohl auch der {{L|Bronze Blast Furnace}|Bronze-Hochofen} Stahl aus Eisen herstellen kann, ist der elektrische Hochofen vielfach schneller und energieeffizienter. (Der bronzene Hochofen schmilzt einen Eisenbarren in einen Stahlbarren in 6 Minuten und benötigt 4 Holzkohle. Der elektrische Hochofen schmilzt dagegen einen Schmiedeeisenbarren in einen Stahlbarren in 5 Sekunden und benötigt rund 20000EU mit Sauerstoff und Schmiedeeisenherstellung. Mit Hochdruck Kohleboilern produzieren 4 Holzkohle deutlich mehr Energie als 20000EU.)

Another important use of the Electric Blast Furnace is the smelting of Silicon Ingots, for when is installed alongside GregTech, all of its circuit recipes consume Silicon Plates. Silicon Dust can most easily be acquired by Silicon Dioxide Dust, a process which also generates 2000L Oxygen (useful for Steel or Annealed Copper). Silicon Dioxide Dust is most easily acquired by Glass Dust.

As with all other GregTech multiblock machines:
 * Insufficient energy supply will destroy the currently processed material.
 * When the Output Bus is full, the Electric Blast Furnace will continue to work and will destroy all newly produced items.
 * Do NOT build a multiblock machine over chunk borders. Doing so can lead to unpredictable behavior. If you have installed (which you should), chunk borders can be viewed by pressing F9 (by default).
 * Before using the Electric Blast Furnace for the first time, must be performed.
 * To activate or deactivate the Electric Blast Furnace, hit its control block with a.
