![]() ![]() That means steel furnaces pollute nearly five times more than this. Meanwhile 65 steel furnaces would produce 65 * 3.6 = 234 pollution - nearly two and a half times more.Įdit: As points out, efficiency modules also reduce the pollution from the furnaces themselves, so polution is actually reduced to 36 + (65 * 0.9 * 0.2) = 47.7 pollution. In this case 6 boilers could power 65 electric furnaces, producing 36 + (65 * 0.9)= 94.5 pollution. These can be used to reduce the electricity consumed by the furnace to 20% (I think) of their standard usage. Solar power, which produces no pollution and uses no fuel (set up costs aside). ![]() 240 1/3 80 electric furnaces to fill a red belt As for how productivity modules affect this ratio someone smarter than me will have to answer. If you get 8 beacons per furnace with speed modules each gets +200 speed i.e. Of course two other factors can come into play: Without beacons or modules you need 240 electric furnaces to fill a red belt. Therefore: steel furnaces are greener than boiler-powered electrical furnaces. In the blueprint book you'll find mirrored A and B versions of the electric furnace array to tile them next to each other, as well as an example steel furnace array that uses red/yellow belt weaving to fully compress a red belt (since the underground trick is gone in. This compares with 13 steel furnaces at 3.6 pollution each, which makes 46.8 pollution in total. This is tileable and expandable lengthwise as well (in groups of 4 furnaces). 13 electric furnaces at 0.9 pollution each - 11.7 pollution.6 boilers at 6 pollution each - 36 pollution.Scale that up so you can use the excess power output from the boiler, and you have: Two steel furnaces produce only 7.2 pollution, with nothing to spare. So the output from one boiler can power two electrical furnaces with 30kW to spare, and combined they produce (6 + 0.9 + 0.9) = 7.8 pollution. Steam engines then convert the heat energy to electrical energy - I believe this is at 100% efficiency, but I'm not sure. They generate 390kW of heat energy for every 780 kW of fuel the burn, and in the process produce 6 pollution. However, boilers have an efficiency of only 50%. Electric furnaces with Efficiency 1 modules. Steel furnaces use 180 kW of fuel energy. (In a real life scenario, on paper is double) deleted 9 yr. So, roughly 8 or 9 or so extra coal is burned in the boiler vs the steel furnace. Electric furnaces do produce pollution, but only about a quarter of the amount steel furnaces do (0.9 pollution to 3.6, according to their linked wiki pages).Įlectric furnaces use up 180kW of electrical energy. as seen, 10 coal gave roughly 215 copper (or iron for that matter) when in a steel furnace, and 120 with an electrical miner. Early game (pre electric furnaces) the coal belt is on the opposite side of the furnaces and they have a space between (so they can be replaced by electric furnaces), that way, when i upgrade, i just remove the furnaces, coal line, and coal inserters in one simple sweep with my deconstruction planner and plop down electric furnaces. Steel furnaces cause pollution but electric furnaces do not.įirstly, this is not quite true. ![]()
