The Industrial Turbine is a multiblock generator used to produce energy if supplied with big quantity of Steam. It's currently the most powerful generator in Mekanism. The biggest Industrial Turbine can produce up to 668,570,000 J/t (267,420,000 RF/t).

Supply[edit]

Because of the enormous quantity of Steam consumed, the Fusion Reactor is an excellent way to produce Steam:

  • Fission Reactor alone producing Steam by itself, with a Water supply. The Steam production rate depends on the fuel input rate of the Fusion Reactor, making it extremely hard to reach height production.
  • Fusion Reactor Transferring heat to Thermoelectric Boiler, is the best way to produce huge quantity of Steam.

Example : to reach 3,000,000 mB/t of Steam, a Fusion Reactor will need 40 mB/t of Tritium and Deuterium each, while 1 mB/t of each will be enought to power a Boiler with a maximal production rate of 3,000,000 mB/t at full speed.

Moreover, an enormous quantity of Water is needed as well to fill the Fusion Reactor or the Boiler. The easiest way to get enough Water is to recover the Steam from the Industrial Turbine as Water. Each Turbine Vent will push water to an adjacent tank or pipe.

Fluid transport rate is a major difficulty. One of the 2 fluids (Water or Steam) can be directly send to the other machine by placing the valve expulsing the fluid directly against the valve receiving it. The other one will need to be transport with pipes that have limited capacities. This problem can be avoid by using Mekanism pipes properties : their transport rate is cumulative.

Example : to transport 3,000,000 mB/t of Water, at least 47 Ultimate Mechanical Pipes (64,000 mB/t each) must be connected together, even if the pipes are making loops.

== Mechanics Internal and Output values will vary depending on the configuration. Mostly in config/Mekanism/generators.toml:

#The number of blades on each turbine coil per blade applied.
turbineBladesPerCoil = 4
#The rate at which steam is vented into the turbine.
turbineVentGasFlow 

 <nowiki>#Maximum Joules per mB of Steam. Also affects Thermoelectric Boiler.
maxEnergyPerSteam = "10"
  • Energy Production : Production(J) = maxEnergyPerSteam x BladeRate x SteamFlow
  • BladeRate will be the lowest of the 2 following values :
    • BladeRate = BladesNumber / MAX_BLADES(28)
    • BladeRate = CoilsNumber × turbineBladesPerCoil / MAX_BLADES(28)
  • Maximal Steam Flow Rate will be the lowest of the 2 following values :
    • MaxFlow(mB/t) = TurbineVentNumber × turbineVentGasFlow
    • MaxFlow(mB/t) = TurbineWidth² × TurbineRotorNumber × PressureDisperserNumber × turbineDisperserGasFlow
  • Steam Storage : Capacity(mB) = TurbineWidth² × TurbineRotorNumber x GAS_PER_TANK(64,000)
  • Energy Storage : Storing(J) = TurbineWidth² × TurbineHeight × 16,000
  • Maximal Water Output: WaterOutput(mB/t) = SaturatingCondenserNumber × condenserRate

Using these formulas, it's possible to determine the most efficient rotor's length regarding the width of the turbine.

Construction[edit]

Most efficient structures[edit]

If you need to get the water back, use the following values :

Width Height Energy Production Max Water Output Turbine Rotor Turbine Casing Turbine Vent Pressure Disperser Saturating Condenser Electromagnetic Coil Turbine Blade Rotational Complex
5 9 2.93 MJ/t (1.17 MFE/t) 1,024,000 mB/t 4 117 45 8 16 2 8 1
7 13 17.14 MJ/t (6.86 MFE/t) 6 237 125 24 63 3 12 1
9 17 44.80 MJ/t (17.92 MFE/t) 8 397 245 48 126 4 16 1
11 18 68.50 MJ/t (27.40 MFE/t) 9 549 333 80 167 5 18 1
13 18 88.25 MJ/t (35.30 MFE/t) 9 677 429 120 215 5 18 1
15 18 109.94 MJ/t (43.98 MFE/t) 53,760,000 mB/t 10 865 481 168 241 5 20 1
17 18 133.71 MJ/t (53.49 MFE/t) 71,680,000 mB/t 10 1017 585 224 293 5 20 1

If you have a way to produce the enormous amount of water, you won't need to craft the Saturating Condensers. The previous values are still the best, except for the smallest size :

Width Height Production Turbine Rotor Turbine Casing Turbine Vent Pressure Disperser Electromagnetic Coil Turbine Blade Rotational Complex
5 9 3.77 MJ/t (1.51 MFE/t) 5 129 33 8 3 10 1

Structural Glass can replace Turbine Casings that are not on the edges of the Industrial Turbine or against another multiblock from Mekanism. It is also possible to replace some Turbine Casings with Turbine Valves.

Notes[edit]

  • Industrial Turbine must have a square base between 5 and 17 blocks width, with an odd diameter. Its overall height can't exceed 18 blocks. Turbines with a base width of 3 can be created, but possess zero dispersers, and thus create no power.
  • Each edge of the cuboid must only consist of Turbine Casings.
  • Each face must be filled with Turbine Casings, Turbine Valves or Structural Glass.
  • The Turbine Rotors must be located in a single column above the center block of the lower face.
  • The length of the rotor column cannot exceed 2 x TurbineWidth - 1, where TurbineWidth is the interior diameter of the turbine (BaseWidth - 2).
  • The Turbine Blades will be automatically placed by right-clicking one of the rotors.
  • The Rotational Complex must be placed on top of the Rotor column.
  • The whole layer of the Rotational Complex must be filled with Pressure Dispersers, except the blocks on the sides.
  • Turbine Casings can be replaced with a Turbine Vents at and above the layer of the Rotational Complex, except the blocks on the edges.
  • Turbine Vents may only be placed on the outside of the structure.
  • Electromagnetic Coils must be placed directly above the Rotational Complex, and must be connected together.
  • The rest of the free space inside the Turbine, above the Rotational Complex layer, can be filled with Saturating Condensers, but free space is allowed (if Water output is above the max Steam Rate, it's useless to add more Saturating Condensers).
  • Once a correct setup is created, red particles are emitted to signal the formation of the Turbine.
