Modular Power Turbines
Information:
Modular Power Turbines use High Pressure Steam to produce RPM and convert it to Low Pressure Steam in the process.
RPM is used with the attached Generators.
The Low Pressure Steam must be piped out the turbines into a Steam cooling tower or used to create water. If the low pressure steam is not removed from the turbine the RPM will eventually stop.
They have to be placed on Converter Platforms.

Tips
-
A turbine needs time to spin up. Expect the attached generator’s output to ramp toward its rated MW rather than jumping to it instantly, and to fall off if the steam supply is interrupted.
-
One Boiler Mk1 at full output (60 m³/min steam) exactly feeds one Turbine Mk1 (60 m³/min). Mk2 Boilers may produce enough steam to spin multiple turbines depending on your heat source.
-
The output of two Mk1 Boilers can be combined to spin a single Mk2 turbine
Other Turbines
Super HV Turbine
This special turbine is designed for use with the Modular Reactor and Project Icarus programs. It does not work with normal Modular Power buildings.
