Building a Coal Powered Steam Engine!!!! - Stormworks

I was kinda hoping they'd have modular pistons for triple expansion style engines, but maybe we'll see that in the near future. They could maybe even take a shortcut, and just program the existing pistons to intake steam instead of combustion requirements.

[@hilowguy12345]

Hopefully in the future they elaborate more on steam. Add fuel atomizers to burn fuel oil instead of coal, module based reciprocating steam pistons to get that satisfying chuff chuff sound, superheaters, steam whistles, stack blowdowns, the ability to adjust fuel/air ratios etc.

[@hatman4818]

upgrading things like the boiler would be cool too. Maybe add like, insulation blocks or insulated pipes to reduce heat loss from the boiler, which would demand less energy from the fire box to maintain the same pressure/tempersture.

[@harrisonmauldin5090]

yes the iconic chuffing noise and steam whistles would be great

[@solarflare623]

The devs should add steam pistons that could hook up to modular engine crankshafts that maybe could produce more torque but are slightly slower.

I used the pressure release method, and that seemed to work well. However I did notice that after the first release, the pressure never rose again, instead it slowly decreased over time. I know my relief valve was closed, so I'm not sure why the pressure continued to drop. I was also slowly loosing steam from somewhere in a closed loop, which was interesting. Can pumping too much water into the boiler cause it to flood and release less steam?

[@jamesdeznuts5603]

If the steam was released without being put into the condenser, you may have not had enough water to keep the system going. Try running the pressure relief system straight into the condenser instead of into the air( I’m assuming that’s what you did) and you should not lose any water.

[@EnderMalcolm]

@@jamesdeznuts5603 I had a full tank of fresh water that was pumping in, and was full, which is why I was confused about it. The engine ran fine, but stopped going over pressure. The boiler was full of steam and was loosing it. I wonder if my water pump is backwards, I'll check that next.

Pretty close to my compact steam power generator build. Tried running props off the turbine and had very little luck getting over 1.5 knots with larger ships. Electric engines worked much better, and coal turbine powering generators to keep it powered. One thing I'm working on is a quick shut-down to the coal firebox. Tried cutting off the coal supply but it still took a long time to shut down. Next I'm gonna try a cutoff on the air supply, hopefully that works.

[@foty8679]

Cut off the water circulating into the boiler, that will cool the boiler if you care about the boiler, then just empty the coal box and let it cool down. How many turbines do you use? Do you use a gearbox?

[@matthommel3546]

Hey! Can you use the boiler as a heat exchanger for your normal engines??? Make power off your cooling???

[@hatman4818]

IRL, that would require a phase change (evaporative) cooling system, where whatever coolant youre using in your radiator actually changes phases from liquid into a gas. Such systems are simple if you treat the fluid as a consumable to exhaust, but complicated if you want to condense and reuse it. But, they have the potential to be really effective and efficient due to the sheer amount of energy fluids can absorb in a phase transition (and fluids at a phase transition will absorb energy without actually increasing in temperature, because the energy actually goes into the transition itself... Which is potentially beneficial if you want the fluid to stay under a certain temperature, but still absorb thermal energy). Evaporative cooling was used in the German ME-100 fighter in WW2. What made its system impressive was that, instead of using efficient, but draggy, air cooled radiators, it instead used the surface area of the wing as one giant radiator fin. This was one among many drag reduction techniques in that plane, which made it perform better than its competitor, the BF-109. In the end though, the ME-100 failed to be officially introduced into the luftwaffe, because... Well... Radiators are a week point in an engine. One round holing a radiator all but garuntees eventual engine failure once the coolant runs out. So which is more likely to be hit by incoming fire, a small radiator, or the entire wing? Also, the system was really complicated on the Me-100. I will say this though, I don't know how much energy you could squeeze out of a coolant system that uses evaporative cooling (at least, a system that includes a condensor that is. It would be easier in an open loop system). And furthermore, adding a turbine to the cooling loop would reduce the flow rate of that coolant... Which would in turn, reduce the cooling rate of your cooling system... Which in turn would maybe be more detrimental to your engine's output than any output you would gain from the coolant turbine... Which may be why this isn't typically done IRL. In theory, you could just engineer a beefier cooling system to compensate (bigger condensor, bigger radiator, more coolant), but then you're adding a ton of weight and complexity to the system. I dunno, its an interesting idea at least. A similar concept, the turbine power recovery system, was used in the last generations of military aircraft internal combustion engines in the USAF on planes like the B-50. This was basically like a turbo, except instead of using engine exhaust to spin a turbine to drive an intake impeller and compress intake air, the torque from the turbine was instead sent directly to whatever the engine was outputting power to, adding horespower directly to the system and assisting the engine directly in powering the propeller. It was an insanely complex system, and had similar engineering problems to your idea, (namely, how to do this without generating enough backpressure to reduce engine power). It worked well once developed, but development down this path was abandoned when the turbine power recovery was starting to achieve horsepowers that rivaled the internal combustion engine itself, and engineers asked themselves... Why TF are we developing this when we could instead ditch the complicated, maintenance hogging, less reliable internal combustion engine, and instead focus on developing better turbine technology, as those are relatively simple and cheap to maintain by comparison... As in, lets switch focus to building better jet engines, turbo props, and turboshaft engines instead. None of this has much to do with the game I guess, but I'm just thinking outloud about doing it IRL, and thinking about whether the game simulates RL enough to do it.

[@thorgeirnable]

Question. Did you empty the boiler fluid level and leave only the fluid in the water tank? It seems to me that a 1:1 boiler to condenser isnt enough, and I'm thinking maybe it's because the condenser cant keep up? I'm not having a pressure issue though so I donno

[@overclocked5422]

In the most recent update, they broke condensers, so idk what to do.

[@thorgeirnable]

@@overclocked5422 ok I thought so. The only time my condenser works is if my pressure valve vents a ton of steam at once into the condenser and for some reason then it will put water back in. But otherwise it just sits there and happily builds up water. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. People on discord dont really seem to care

[@Bendigo1]

@@thorgeirnable Use a water storage tank to fill the boiler and use the water from the condenser to put back into the storage tank. The boiler does not use as much water any more, so it takes less water to make a lot of steam.

[@falklandsgamer9156]

i was wondering this after playing around with them for a few hours. Usually IRL steam systems require a pressure difference to operate as efficiently as we would want them to, many Navy vessels used steam-powered vaccuum systems to help draw steam through turbines. That said, i can never seem to force my system to input more than about 2.7L/s into the turbine, no matter how much I sukk it back out again with pumps or additional boilers. It might be something that'll be altered soon, like the modular engines a while back, after having wider player feedback.

[@mikeh2006]

To answer your questions. In theory, you shouldn't lose water if it's not vented Fresh water can be selected in the menu of a fluid spawner In the real world, ships can use fresh water or salt/sea water cooling. You can use salt/sea water cooling in stormworks, but it creates scaling in the engines as it's direct from the ocean (as in real life). Or you can use a closed loop fresh water system with heat exchangers. However direct seawater cooling provides better cooling, in my experience (in game)

[@jonathanbaird8109]

To address this for future readers: Your pressure should really never be above 1. My boilers tend to run at .3 to .4. Currently, turbines seem to have a max throughput of 1.7L/s of steam. Take 1.7 (or whatever you can achieve or wish to) and multiply it by your number of turbines. With advanced tooltips on, look at your boiler, specifically "water in" and "steam out." Your target for both of those is the max throughput value you calculated. If "water in" is greater than "steam out", feedwater is trapped in the boiler because you're making more steam than you can use. Look at "steam" at the top of the tooltip to see it accumulating. As it's pointless to do this, it's also pointless to run your boiler under any real pressure. To address this, decrease the temperature (or decrease the flow) of coolant into the boiler. All my reactors work flawlessly in this regard and have no need for pressure relief valves. As far as controlling the temperature of the boiler, I use a pid and a variable valve. This works very well and allows me to precisely set the temperature necessary to achieve desired output.
