Description

The Big Turbo pump is a component used to transfer high-density fluid up to 100 kg per second.

Usage

The pump has two fluid ports, one on each side, marked by colors:

  • Blue corresponds to the input
  • Red corresponds to the output

Power Supply

To use the pump, it needs to be powered by high-voltage. It consumes up to 100 kw when running at full speed.

Data

The data port allows controlling the pump speed by sending a value between -1 and 1. When the pump is connected to a computer, it can also retrieve the current flow rate.

When sending a negative value, the pump will effectively run in reverse.
