Steam Boiler (Railcraft)/zh-cn

蒸汽锅炉是模组中用于生产的多方块结构，消耗水和多种燃料，而产出的蒸汽可用于驱动多种引擎和机器.

蒸汽锅炉由两部分组成：本体和. 锅炉本体由锅炉方块组成，决定了蒸汽的生产速度和蒸汽缓存大小；而燃烧室决定了锅炉整体的大小以及其可用的燃料种类.

锅炉的稳定运转需要持续供水和充足的燃料. 锅炉可以干烧，但那只是在浪费资源，而且若试图在干烧时供水，还会因为水瞬间变成蒸汽，导致压力过大引发爆炸，摧毁附近的方块，亦可导致生物受伤. 因此，保持锅炉的供水十分重要.

锅炉种类
锅炉分两种：高压和低压. 两种锅炉都会自动向邻近的设备（机器、管道等方块）中自动输出蒸汽. 锅炉的正方形底部由组成. 关于锅炉的建造可参考本条目的.

高压
高压锅炉由组成. 其要达到最高效率所需的预热时间更长，但预热完成后产出的蒸汽凉却是低压版本的两倍（20 mB/t）. 高压锅炉通常用于冷热循环要求不高的环境下.

低压
低压锅炉由组成. 相比于高压锅炉，低压锅炉的成本较低，但预热完成后最高仅能产出 10 mB/t 的蒸汽. 一个1x1x1的低压锅炉就可以带动一台民科级蒸汽引擎.

燃烧室类型
燃烧室也分两种：固体燃料燃烧室和液体燃料燃烧室.

Solid fueled
Solid fueled fireboxes are composed of. They consume solid fuels, such as charcoal, coal, coal coke, and other fuel items which do not have a secondary output item (such as lava buckets). Solid fueled fireboxes have the added feature of being able to pull in consumables from adjacent inventories (chests, for example). It is common to use a Steam Oven to feed an adjacent solid fueled boiler, since the boiler will push steam into the steam oven blocks that it touches, and the firebox will pull charcoal from the steam oven blocks that it touches.

Liquid fueled
Liquid fueled fireboxes are composed of. They consume most liquid or fluid fuels, including Creosote Oil. A Coke Oven that is burning wood logs as fuel produces enough creosote to continuously fuel a single 1x2x1 Steam Boiler, and two or three 1x2x1 steam boilers if it is burning coal. A coke oven can thus be used to power a combination of solid and liquid fueled boilers for greater fuel efficiency than just the solid fuels alone.

Unlike the solid fueled firebox, the liquid fuels must be piped in.

3x3
To build a boiler, first construct the firebox in a flat square. A 1x1 firebox requires 1 block, a 2x2 firebox requires 4, and a 3x3 firebox requires 9 firebox blocks. The firebox blocks must all be of the same type.

Next, construct the boiler on top of the firebox. The Boiler Tank blocks must be of the same type. They may be built in a solid box of 1x1x1, 2x2x2, 2x3x2, 3x2x3, 3x3x3, or 3x4x3. The boiler's footprint must be the same size as the firebox, so you cannot place a 2x2x2 boiler on top of a 1x1 firebox, nor can you place a 1x1x1 boiler on top of a 2x2 firebox.

Finally, connect the piping. Water and fuels are piped in to the Firebox, while steam is piped out from any side of any Steam Boiler block.
