Large Turbine

The Large Turbine  is a multiblock generator in GregTech 5 Unofficial producing large amounts of EU. They come in 4 variants, Steam, High Pressure, Gas and Plasma. The amount of Steam/Gas/Plasma used depends on the Turbine build in. It slowly speeds up, so it should be used for constant Energy supply.

Building the Multiblock




In the back comes a Dynamo Hatch with at last the voltage the turbine will produce.

In the sides come 1 or more Input Hatches, 1 Maintainance Hatch, in case of Steam or High Pressure turbine a Output Hatch, and the Gas Turbine needs a Muffler Hatch.

The remaining sides get filled up with Turbine Casings. The two center blocks remain air blocks. The 9 Blocks in front of the Turbine also must be air blocks.

After that, a Turbine must be placed in the top-right slot in the turbine gui. After fixing the maintainance issures in the maintainance hatch, the turbine starts after a hit with an soft hammer.

Math
The main Turbine block changes the fluids the turbine can run with, while most of the stats depend on the turbine build in.

A Large Steam Turbine runs with Steam and IC2 Steam. A Large High Pressure Turbine runs with Superheated Steam from IC2(Can also be produced with Large Heat Exchanger). A Large Gas Turbine runs with Methan, Hydrogen and Biogas. A Large Plasma Generator runs with all types of plasmas generated in the Fusion Reactor.

The Turbine Stats are: Durability: About every 3000 ticks, the turbine takes 20% of the EU/t generated damage. In the Plasma Generator the damage is EU/t^0.7.

Turbine Efficiency: Directly applied on the EU/t.

Optimal Steam flow: The ideal amount of Steam/Ic2Steam/Superheated Steam the turbine should be supplied with. The turbine can use up to 150% of this, but the additional Steam will be wasted. When supplied with less, the turbine will still run, but a additional efficiency will be applied on the output. FlowEfficiency = ActualFlow/OptimalFlow. 2L (IC2)Steam or 1L Superheated Steam is equivalent with 1EU in GT. In case of the Large Gas Turbine, the optimal flow has to be taken as EU/t for normal Steam and be supplied with the amount of gas matching the EU/t. For Example: Turbine 10,000L/sec -> 500EU/t. Biogas is 32EU/L, so the ideal supply is ~16L/t of biogas. The Large Plasma Generator is calculated the same way as the Gas Turbine, but x40. So a 10,000L/sec Turbine can produce 20,000EU/t.

Also the Large Turbines have a Ramp up time of 50sec and slow down within 10 sec.
