* The Fractionator recipe is unique in the fact that it is based on percentage of materials moving through the Fractionator. This means the Fractionator necessarily needs one input of Hydrogen, and one output of Hydrogen, and another output of Deuterium. It also means that conversion speed is directly proportional to belt speed (1% of belt speed) and saturation rate of the input & output for Hydrogen. | |||
** Belt Speed * 0.01 * Saturation Percentage = Deuterium Production Speed | |||
** A [[Conveyor Belt Mk.I]] that is 100% saturated with Hydrogen (6 Hydrogen/s), will allow a single Fractionator to produce 3.6 Deuterium/minute, or 0.06 Deuterium/second | |||
** A [[Conveyor Belt Mk.II]] that is 100% saturated with Hydrogen (12 Hydrogen/s), will allow a single Fractionator to produce 7.2 Deuterium/minute, or 0.12 Deuterium/second | |||
** A [[Conveyor Belt Mk.III]] that is 100% saturated with Hydrogen (30 Hydrogen/s), will allow a single Fractionator to produce 18 Deuterium/minute, or 0.3 Deuterium/second | |||
* It is useful to build Fractionators in a conveyor loop, with one entry point for Hydrogen. This allows cycling of Hydrogen already on the belt for further conversion to Deuterium, requiring only the replacement of Hydrogen that was converted. | |||
** Any conveyor loop that is fully saturated with Hydrogen, for any type of Conveyor Belt, can serve up to 100 Fractionators at a time. | |||
