can you use metal refinery to make a steam turbine work

Yes.

[fractalgem]

Sure! But you'll need something like Supercoolant, and exosuited duplicants to operate it. If you just pump near-boilng water into it you'lll get damaged equipment.

[Jarcionek]

Yes.

You can use anything that generates a heat, even a battery. The question is whether it's worth it (and how much time it will take to heat some water to 125C), and given that you will stop using refinery at some point, I would say it isn't.

Using crude oil or petroleum and looping it with radiant pipes in the steam chamber should do the trick. Some tempshift plates might be useful.

Absolutely primitive setup with no automation, reservoir as a buffer, petroleum as coolant and initially some water to boil works. It is extremely easy and cheap to setup, removes any issues with "what to do with hot coolant" and returns some power (in case of steel/iron and with high-skilled dupes should be power-positive too). No reason not to use it.

but i need them to be on there seperet power network wich means that I need to use 2 normal power transformer but can i use 1 larger power transformer to supply more than 1 oil refinery on the same power network

could u show a picture of the power cabels

Here is my last version ...

Also you dont need to make something this complex, you just need a steam room and some pipes, all the rest you see is me trying to add as much stuff inside the steam room that don't need to stay outside or is storing hot suff.

Just make a steam room, make the radiant pipes go in the steam room and add water, the how much depends how much heat you are sending in.

here is the pics:

so u can spit a larger power transformer into 2 seppered power lines

4 if you dont use them to much, one big can power 2 small ones

you can see this video, is old but still valid

no but are they split into seppered ones
so if i would lay down a conductive wire from to buttom and the wire on one side request 3kw does the transformer try to supply 3kw and dammege the wire

transformer is one thing, cable is another, thats why I add the video.

The big transformer can suport 4 small transformers IF the cable can handle the load.

If you only connect 2 small ones to a big one the small ones will only pull the max of them together (like 2Kw).

You can use any cable on the transformer, it will bypass that network and create a "gap"
