SS14 - TEG Explained (Thermo-electric Generator) (Method Out of Date)

Certainly the most complex power source in the game so far, but if you break it down to its base components, it isn't too bad to understand. If you can build it on one station, you can build it on any.
And again thank Chief Engineer for this exact set up, I only made minor changes to it for an easier to follow experience.

A shame it dosent over-produce power, cant brag to people how good your TEG setup is without 10 powersinks

[KingFroozy]

I quickly figured out how the TEG works myself, but I didn't quite get how to produce more power using it. Thanks for the explanation!

[Graknorke]

This isn't TOO complicated. Step one: pull up all the pipes and relay them in a totally different layout.

[mrjoe]

greytides hitting the LV cable getting 50k volts of electricity because the AME and TEG are on full

[America_Yea]

these have ALWAYS been my favorite generators. hellburn for the win

[Matz]

Seems inelegant, yet cheeky to exploit the unlimited Atmos gas sources as a source of infinite heat capacity as well as fuel/oxidiser. I hate it, yet I also kinda respect it.

[NotoriusBEN]

so is there a way to sell power yet in SS14? or is that something still in the works with coding?
would be nice to be able to make cargo happy with surplus power creds so we can keep getting dangerous fuels and other toys in engineering

[SuperEvilMuffin]

Why do you use volumetric pumps on the one pipe system while using a regular gas pump on the other?

[stardust-reverie]

yay, you did my request! looks like i’m gonna have to learn atmos lol, this doesn’t seem too hard tho

[TheGoldElite]

I'd be interested to see what would happen if someone fired a china lake into that setup while it was running >: )

[fourhead]

I don't know if you were doing it so it was more readable but you can attach a heater on top of a straight pipe.

[jzburda]

I understand it's simple to just rip apart the atmos system and pipe everything from the burn mix to the coolant directly into the TEG,
But what if you can't do that?
I've tried running it so many times by using the burn chamber, etc, but its stupid finicky

I don't know, I've just wanted to run a closed loop system and get it to work.

[fourhead]

Ok but I got a question, can you go to tuf and have them explain a simple frezon rig? I feel like I never see the right atmos to re-teach me.

[pon]

How do you enter the sandbox or whatever to test things like this?

[romulo]

"The TEG doesn't overproduce"
I'm genuinely sad, I copied my 60 megawatt design from SS13 over here and I can't even see the 60 megawatts. :(

[кираёшикаге-ъю]

In the first time I tried to build it, I accidently plasmaflooded the station.

[theapug]

Ah yes, of course steel pipes can survive gas at 476600 kPa with 13 times the temperature of the surface of the sun! its nanotrasen steel, ofcourse!

[KYLurker]

Me using the teg in my frezon setup. I wonder how much it’ll produce with nitrous oxide at 23kelvin vs the high heat of trit

[lamantidelm]

I still haven't figured out what's the name of the server

[awlam]

I've managed to get over 5 megawatts of power generation on the teg test map, so TEG is 100% broken af
