Steam to EV-EU via PowerConverters?

[SReject]

So after posting the specs of my power station in What does YOUR Power Room look like?, I've realized Im wasting quite a bit of steam per tick, and am looking to upgrade from HV PowerConverters' producers per two boilers to EV producers per every 6.

As far as I've been able to manage, I haven't been able to supply enough steam via liquiducts to the PC's steam consumers to output a steady 2048EU/t even though 6 36HP boilers produce enough steam for such:

720mB steam * 6 = 4320mB steam per tick

4320mB steam * 875 steam conversion units / 1800 EU conversion units = 2100EU/tick

So my question: is there a setup for boilers+PC's to convert steam to EV-EU?

Spoiler: Setup Overview

The 8 boilers that do not have liquiducts attached to them are the boilers Im trying to convert to EV-EU:

No answer whether its possible or not?

Tesseracts.

Liquiduct = X
Tesseract= A

X X X
X A X
X X X

Issue is that the fluiducts only transfer 360 mb of steam per tick or the like. Using tesseracts to get around the issue helps.

explain...?

Attach tesseract to steam consumer.
Attach 6X fluiducts with steam to another tesseract.
Profit...

So in your setup, replace the Steam consumers you have with tesseracts set to export fluid
Then on the site you want the EV put up a tesseract set to import fluids next to a steam consumer.This should be closer to the amount of steam you need to input into the tesseract.

May not work depending on the pack. The version of powerconverters in monster doesn't have steam consumers iirc

I think he has a power-converter with steam consumers if I peek at his hv setup. His only problem is the fluiducts transfer rate... Though I think the extra utility liquid nodes would be better when I think about it,,,

Boiler -> Extra Utlity Liquid Node with a stack upgrade or two or and maybe speed upgrades -> Tesseract.
Tesseract -> Steam Consumer.

Im playing an old version of Ult @ mc v1.4.7 (grumbles about other players and redpower on the server). You are correct about the fluid/liquiducts transfer rate being the issue. Im creating MORE than enough steam per tick to fuel a steam-to-EV conversion, its that The steam consumers aren't getting enough steam.


I will try using tesseracts, but I'd rather keep the power centeralized due to having MassFabs under the station. (below the solar panels)

The tesseracts work over any distance, even if you just move the steam 2 blocks
