Successor to the Gas Electric Turbine. The boiler is the same but the turbine system is greatly improved in an attempt to simulate the commonly used Rankine cycle within the limits of TPT. Hope you enjoy, a lot of work has gone into optimisation.

  you could add a VSNS turbine to make electricity e.g. the 1.088Watt one from ID:2775467

  Ah, I see. I ran it on gas and failed to notice the 1200 C vapour xD. In that case, its a miracle you can cool it down at all with just water, very nice! :)

  It'll still work without it, just with that small catch

  True. The main reason I added pump was due to the steam being extra hot when running Nitro, it tended to bunch up in the condenser, pump helps move it along

  Very nice! :) I tried to avoid using pumps and other fancier techniques for pressure and temperature regulation as the real system only has one primary pump, the one for injecting condensed water into the boiler.

  Made a edit of this, more cooling and other small refinements id:2918689 I'll keep it unpublished

  Finally dropped the update. I wrestled for a long time with a decent condenser design. It still isnt perfect, but hey, the water is returned to a liquid, and can now be returned to the boiler :)

  Yes, because the upgrade required extensive editing in a different save and the original has been through a lot of small upgrades, this was a large one.
