  1. okay so I am building a large power reactor and turbine system with the new big reactors mod, which I love by the way, and I need water to cool the reactor. so this is the setup I have lake-----> pump------> tank farm------->Reactor------steam----->turbine-----water---> tank farm. so I have water in a loop into the reactor and back out the turbine. problem is however that even with golden waterproof pipe, emerald extractor pipe powered by 2 compustion engines, I cannot get enough flow to even fill the pipe and I get the choppy flow. the reactor pretty much uses the water instantly and my reactor starts to overheat with less then 10% output. so what is going on. I figured that with this setup I should have great flow, at least enough to keep the waterproof pipes full. The wiki said with emerald pipe all that should be required for good flow is a single redstone engine. im so confused, please help. thank-you.
  2. actually I just figured out how to get it to work on my own but thanks anyway :)
  3. hey guys, I was wondering if there was a way that I could transfer the Atomic Science mod from voltz to tekkit lite. thanks
  4. Okay, as an update, i figured out a better setup that should work. Im using 3 pumps powered by a combustion engine each. each pump will handle a floor, which each have about 9 engines. to solve my distribution problems, im going to have a water storage tank for each engine. the waterpump fills each tank, and its taken from the tank to the engine. Now heres my question about this. what type of engine should I use to power the wooden pipe from the tank
  5. I figured that out. but cc sensors are a pain in the back end if i have to scroll through the list and refresh everytime to notice temperature increase. Is there a way I can put the engine outputs and temperatures all onto a monitor in a way that it refreshes automatically? also what about my water pump set-ups. what do I need to do to that? :P
  6. Okay I read up on them, and I could see how I could use them as an emergancy shutdown if the engines overheat, however I was hoping for something that could give me a real time operating temperature. Like how you can use a remote sensor card and industrial information panel to monitor reactor temps. :p
  7. Hey guys. Im building a massive Refinery Complex using 26 combutsion engines for pumps pipes, power, ect.. The setup I currently have is two pumps each powered by 4 blulectric engines feeding water from reseviour to 9 water tanks (3 blocks high). Wooden pipe powered by 2 blulectric engines feed water into a manifold, to one pipe that routes up and feeds water to the combution engines on three floors. Note that I will prime the cooling system first, filling all the engines with water before running. My engines will be burning oil, and I want to be able to run them for extended periods of time without shutting them down if possible. After reading more on it, Its obvious that this set-up will most likely not be enough, due to the small number of pumps, tanks, and the distrebution problems of running a single water pipe to keep up with the water demands of the engines. What would be the best set up, using as litle space and resources as possible, to keep my engines in the green. Another couple questions. Is there anything I can use to monitor the temperature of my engines. I know I can use a BC sensor card in the computer, but with this many engines, this doesnt really work out very well. Also how much water does a combution engine use as compared to oil? How long does it usually take for it to turn green. I know this is a large post, with alot of complex questions. Thanks for taking the time to answer :)
