=Hot & Cold Loops= Because of how gas mixtures behave on SS13, instead of using 2 Nitrogen canisters on each loop, you can try the following setup: * 1 Canister on the hot loop: This will ensure that the pressure will remain reasonable and that the pump won't jam. * 2 to 3 Canisters on the cold loop: The cold loop is exposed to space temperature and will contract a lot, allowing you to add more gas to it. =SMES Setup= Due to how the TEG power output fluctuates over time, you can either baby-sit the SMES charging rates, or use a staggered charging profile, on MiniStation SMES are prioritized from left to right, so an optimal setup can be achieved by setting the charge rates (from left to right) to: 120 000 W, 60 000 W and 30 000 W. This will ensure that, for any TEG output over 30 kW, we will always have at least one SMES charging, with priority given to the leftmost SMES. This charging setup means that we have charging at: * 30 kW (0-0-1) * 60 kW (0-1-0) * 90 kW (0-1-1) * 120 kW (1-0-0) * 150 kW (1-0-1) * 180 kW (1-1-0) * 210 kW (1-1-1) Which covers the entire output rampdown of the TEG.
