Liquid sodium from mekanism can be used to actively cool the reactor, making superheated liquid sodium then pumping it into a heat exchanger to produce even more steam powers even more turbines. Heat exchanger setup isn’t really necessary in atm because of other more efficient setups for power. The industrial turbine is a modular multiblock structure added by mekanism. Its sole purpose is turning steam into power, using either mekanism's own joules or forge energy. Being highly customizable, it can be relatively small and compact, but also very large and expensive, and may therefore be adapted to the player's needs.
As geo mentioned there is a limit to water cooling, and i want to say that varies with reactor size but im not sure. My 11³ reactor will start overheating at 171mb/t burn rate. Reply reply blss_noob • •. (atm9) mekanism reactor with sodium upvotes. 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). The steam production rate depends on the fuel input rate of the fusion reactor, making it. Make sure that pipe connections to any machine that automatically pushes into pipes (including the turbine and reactor) are not set to push/pull. That limits your throughput to the pump rate value of the pipe, rather than the throughput rate (which. I have a maximum size fission reactor, connected to a max thermoelectric boiler and three max industrial turbines. As it is now, i'm able to comfortably run at a 1,000 mb/t burn rate in the fission reactor (the limit is 1920 mb/t, but even sodium doesn't keep it cool enough to run that fast). Why can't i increase the max boil rate? The consumption can be set in the gui. A rate of 2 means 1. Welcome to my mekanism fission reactor for beginners guide!

Fission reactors are incredibly powerful and do some amazing things, but they can be very dangero. At the top right click the arrow until you see fluid transfer rate then set that to 999999999. Spiffy_b21 • 1 sink is enough to keep a full size reactor fully topped up at full burn rate. Also, make sure you set the pipes to be extract, cause from the looks of it, your mekanism ones are set to neutral, which can't pull from the sink. A water cooled reactor has a heating rate of 20,000 mb of water for 1 mb of fissile fuel burnt. For your reactor to run smoothly, the turbine's max steam flow and max water output must be greater than the reactor's heating rate. The maximum steam flow can be seen on a turbine's main gui, and the maximum water flow in the stats tab of the gui. The fission reactor is a multiblock added by mekanism. It is used in conjunction with the industrial turbine and possibly the thermoelectric boiler to produce power. The reactor is a hollow cuboid of up to 18 x 18 x 18 blocks made of fission reactor casing. The sides (not edges) of the structure can be replaced by reactor glass or fission reactor ports. You can set the transfer rate to the maximum integer (2,147,483,647) which makes it fill any reactor size instantly. Unfortunately it doesn't work for gases, i have the steam going through mekanism pressure tubes to trash cans by using multiple output ports because i don't run a. Just use a water block from evilcraft, super easy to make and infinite water with an infinite transfer rate. I use a single one on my 15x15x18 fission reactor and it has 0 problem even at 100% whereas even with 35 sinks surrounding my reactor with ultimate upgraded pipes they could barely handle 20%, this also allows me to make turbines without the use of saturation blocks. Energy is generated at a slower rate when raining, and during night time and thunderstorms, the solar generator is inactive.

Build a nuclear fission reactor to harness polonium, while also generating lots of power. If you haven’t already set up a storage system, consider mekanism’s qio; Hi, i'm replicating a setup i used awhile ago in a earlier version of mekanism, a setup of the fission reactor and wind turbine that was designed by rage plays games. It should be a closed loop setup but my water coolant is depleting fast instead. To run the max size turbine at max flow rate with the fission reactor at 552 mb/t, my tests show that 9 coolant outputs hooked up to 2 turbine valves is enough to handle the steam transfer, and 82 vents hooked up to 1 inputs on the reactor to handle the water transfer, is. Each fission fuel assembly increases the maximum burn rate by 1mb/tick. The maximum burn rate is the number of fission fuel assemblies in mb/tick. You can change the burn rate in the statistics tab. Default is 0. 1. The smallest reactor has 1 fuel assembly, so it can run 10 times faster than by default. The reactor itself can only max at around 140mb or so before it starts to consume sodium like candy meaning you'll need a large sodium reserve or a direct input system that produces more than your eating given the burn rate. It looks like the modpack you are using tweaked (nerfed) the fusion reactor. The fuel consumption is probably higher, and the power output looks lower. If i recall correctly, the injection rate can be set to any even number between 0 and 98. A higher injection rate uses more fuel to produce more power.
