Wondering host

greetings, im host, a person you can find in the game or in the discord as marsk cranger/marsk_host. over here im just updating a few things.

Greetings engineers. shut your holes from screaming with this ABOMINATION of an engine atmosia has brought here. FOR I. MACREED BENDS. WILL TEACH YOU.

#{{anchor|step one}}Screwdriver and wrench the circulators from the ground

#Move the circulators to the squares beside the generator. and wrench down ''make sure to orientate them with the notches beside the generator before wrenching. (alt-click to turn)''

#Now in place we need to multi tool the circulators. changing the mode, they are in, once done then screwdriver shut.  ''1 tap = cold 2 taps = hot''

#Wrench down the center to complete the engine.

#Turn on pumps to max, open valves, press buttons if need be.  ''follow the orange and cyan pipes.''

#Wrench down some of the CO2 canisters to the connectors and turn on pumps to add gas to the loops.

#Go to the incinerator and check if the blast doors are close. if not, then press the buttons on the table

#Open up the air alarm and enter the scrubber menu, find the scrubber in the incinerator chamber and set range: '''Expanded'''

#Prepare burn mix (different ratios alter heat output and gas production) then turn on mixer to max. then turn on igniter ''burn mix is tested to last nearly 50 minutes if you empty both tanks.''

The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine but wouldn't start from poor understanding of my predecessor's poor documentation. This engine uses two things. hot and cold gas (hot and cold side of circulators), to generate energy. in order to make more power you need to scale both hot gas and cold gas in difference through the two circulators. Usually, what limits this is the engine setup and a great difference in gas temperature. An unmodified engine you will usually run into the biggest problem.

'''CLOGS!!'''

Clogging happens when gasses in the hot loop gets too hot for pumps to handle. Pumps are limiters to this engine (valves also apply), pressure pumps being the easiest to clog because they pass little, precise amounts of fuel, volume pumps fare better but will eventually clog... Though there is a limitless pump. Documentation in [[Thermo-Electric Generator optimizations|Thermo-Electric Generator optimization]] on setup.

 

'''<u>if to be left unmodified then you want to have little amounts of gas flowing in the hot loop</u>'''. because of basic science. as you heat gasses, they expand, which increases pressure. however, when cooling gas shrinks, which decreases pressure.

*increase heat to the hot loop by adding more gas to it.

*Increase coolness to the cold loop by adding more gas.

NOTE: if these don't work then it might be needed to replace the pressure pump with a volume pump

'''Answer:''' Look to see what's lighting up on the TEG, the TEG will tell you what's working and what's not, if the cold loop isn't working it will be dark, if it is working it will be a radiant blue. The same is true for the hot, but the colour will be red.

'''Answer:''' Check each pipe section with an analyser, see that each pipe section has gas inside of it, follow the pipes around with the pumps, one will be off or there is a break in the pipe. if the space loop has gas on one end but not on the other, go into space and check for damage to the heat pipes.

'''Answer:''' It is possible that you set the TEG's cold and hot loops on the wrong side, if true there should have been a short time of a loop indicating some flow before completey stopping, check inside the TEG's display that the cold loop is indeed cold and not hot. If the loops are the wrong way around, un-wrench the TEG apart, open both circulators with a screwdriver, and multitool both circulators, screwdriver both circulators closed then wrench it back together.
