Modular Power Chimneys

Information:

Modular Power Chimneys are used to vent CO₂ and Steam from heaters and turbines. They have to be placed on a Cooling Platform

Tips

  • Coolers or another means of disposing of these gasses is essential plumbing, not optional. Every heater that makes CO2 and every turbine that makes Low Pressure Steam needs somewhere for that gas to go, or the whole line stalls.

  • One cooler serves several producers thanks to its high disposal rate.

  • If a heater or turbine mysteriously stops, check its output pipe before its input: a full exhaust line is a common cause.

  • Both Low Pressure Steam and CO2 can be processed in a Refinery as an alternative to using a cooler. Low Pressure Steam can be converted to Water, and CO2 into Carbon Dust which is useful for making Steel.
