Description

The Fluid Pump is a component used to transfer fluid up to 1 kg per second. Unlike turbo pumps, it operates on low-voltage power and reacts instantly to control inputs, allowing for highly responsive fluid management.

Usage

Power Supply

To use the pump, it needs to be powered by low-voltage. It consumes up to 1 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.
