Steam Generator Question

[Oni Noob]

Question, if you feed a generator with a steam with a temp around 120c, does it comes cooler and condense into water?

You need to feed steam at 227°C to run a steam turbine. Any steam below that temp will not be consume and the turbine won't run.

You can "trick" the turbine to run it with cold steam. But it is technically an exploit ^^

hehe was planning to use the exploit(having a metal tile that is very hot) but I am not sure if feeding a quite a cool steam will result to turning the steam into water and break everything down

The steam turbine produce steam always at the same temp. I don't remember what is the temp but it is around 150°C I'm not sure. So if you use the hot metal exploit then you will actually produce heat if you feed steam below 150°C.
