Steam turbine and engie's tune-up

[psusi]

I seemed to recall that using supercoolant in an aquatuner cooled by a steam turbine was actually power positive.  I checked the wiki, and it shows the calculations that you need 2 AT and 3 ST and then it is almost neutral.  However, it then goes on to say that you can use a single AT and ST with engie's tune-up and that this will run energy neutral.

Huh?  It was already neutral without the tune-up, so it should be quite positive with it.  And the tune-up isn't going to change how fast it eats steam, so it's not going to let you run 1:1 AT:ST.  Was someone high when they wrote that part of the wiki?

One Aquatuner with supercoolant can produce 1,181,600 DTU per second. Thats more than 1 turbine can delete without wasting heat. Thats why 2AT + 3 turbine is neutral. 

When you run 1 AT + 1 turbine you waste some heat as 1 turbine can effectively absorb only 877,000 DTU per second. All excess is destroyed without any actual power generation. Thats why for that setup you need tuning

Ohh, I see.  I didn't get that they were wasting heat on purpose.
