Description
The boiler is an essential machine, required for oil refining. It requires an external heat source like the firebox. It has a 16,000 mB input tank, and an output tank of corresponding size, depending on how much the fluid expands when heated.
Heat transfer rate: △T x 0.01 TU/t
Production
Operation
Place a firebox or a similar heat source and position the boiler on top. To change between fluids, use fluid IDs (for example, the Crude Oil identifier) by right-clicking the boiler with a fluid ID.
The boiler has three ports for universal fluid ducts: one on top, two on either side.
Improper operation can result in an explosion (the boiler will explode if the output tank overflows). The industrial boiler does not explode.
Uses
The boiler can be used for several applications:
- Heating Crude Oil, Cracked Oil or Desulfurized Oil for use in an Oil Refinery
- Boiling Water to produce Steam
- Converting Steam into Dense Steam and other forms of steam, if applicable
Trivia
- Boilers begin wobbling when operating near their output tank's limit
- Boilers have a copper heat plate beneath them, which must align with the heat plate on the heat source
