120000W Large Steam Piston Generator

Description
120000W (120KW) Large piston generator.

Runs around 6 pressure, and shoots past 120KW and slowly falls to around 122KW (seemed stable around there after about an hour testing.)

Can replace the "Constant On" with a toggle switch and connect it to the boiler control unit on the steam condenser.
Will keep running until the boiler is out of steam when you turn it off.

I would recommend keeping the steam condenser a good bit away from your heat source. The condenser runs around 65-70 temp so it could get heat soaked if it's too close to the heat source.

Have fun with the new components and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any issues and I'd love to see anything you all use this in!

Version that doesn't blink the clutch, takes over 20 minutes to reach 120000W

That's good news, thank you :) I'll integrate it to my ship

@Pierre-Luc I just updated it with a new design. It now produces over 160,000W. It's also more compact having removed the electric motor and moving the condensers to the opposite side, allowing the reactor to be closer to the boilers.

Hey there, I have your creation installed in a ship I'm working on. Last I was in the game was before the space DLC. Now with the space DLC changes the generator doesn't seem to be working anymore. Have you updated your generator to work with the space dlc and its changes like fluid pressure?

@thechort Thank you! Will do!

@Reesecraft28 feel free to use anything from it. Just post a link here so I can check out what you made.

Would you mind if I use the controllers and general layout in a vessel I intend on posting to the Workshop? I had made a derivative of your design small enough to fit in the railroad work benches yet produces twice the power and I've found it so handy that I'd stick it in my ships as well.

Of course I'd post crediting you.

@Flyer ace 21 Yes you still need the clutch. The clutch slip helps it maintain the flywheel speed. You will probably need to remove some of the gearboxes. I believe the flywheel spins over 4000 rps, I forget off hand.

@Flyer ace 21 It's meant to provide electric power.
However, you can remove the generator and connect the 5X5 clutch that is constantly 1 (the one closest to the regular clutch) to a throttle lever. You might need to lower the gearing though.
