Liquiducts connecting from a railcraft steam tank to a steam turbine...

[N757QQ]

Hey everyone,

Newb question, my apologies. I am running an lp boiler, free farm, convert to charcoal, then store until needed in the boiler. I then like excess steam (6 steam engines currently on a 27LP) to a railcraft tank to store it as a buffer for my steam turbine which I use to run my EU based equipment.

I have the liquiducts connected to the tank fine, and it is full of steam. I the. Tried to run the liquiducts to the turbine, and they connect fine, but I cannot get steam to flow.

I initially had it on the bottom center block, but read in the wiki that it must connect to the 2nd layer to output via liquiducts. So I moved a valve to the 2nd & even tried the 3rd, assume the base may not be counted.

I cannot get it working. Does it require power to outflow liquid?

Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

N

Well, I posted 30 seconds too soon. I just needed to add a lever to start the flow.

I'll leave the original & just reply (admin obviously feel free to delete, or consolidate) in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

You may want to edit your thread title and add a [Solved] to it. So others, when using the search engine, can see it. =)

ANd just a little added information, using more than one liquiduct (in the output of the steam boilers) improves the efficiency, because they work with pressure
