The Oxygen Generator is a functional Block available for Small Ships, Large Ships and Stations. It is used to process [[Ice]] into breathable [[Oxygen]] and [[Hydrogen]]. If connected to a [[Conveyor Network]] via one of the inventory access points, the Oxygen Generator can automatically pull in Ice from attached inventories to process. Oxygen and hydrogen generated will travel through the conveyor system, and will be stored in an [[Oxygen Tank|oxygen]] or [[Hydrogen Tank|hydrogen tank]]. If there are no tanks with vacancy, the Oxygen Generator will not process Ice.

Oxygen and Hydrogen are produced at a 1:1 ratio. In addition, the processing only produces one output. Either Oxygen or Hydrogen, but not both. Giving the Oxygen Generator access to both oxygen and hydrogen tanks will merely split the output of the Oxygen generator into using 50% of the available ice for Oxygen and 50% of the available ice for Hydrogen.

The Oxygen Generator is a functional Block available for Small Ships, Large Ships and Stations. It is used to process Ice into breathable Oxygen and Hydrogen. If connected to a Conveyor Network via one of the inventory access points, the Oxygen Generator can automatically pull in Ice from attached inventories to process. Oxygen and hydrogen generated will travel through the conveyor system, and will be stored in an oxygen or hydrogen tank. If there are no tanks with vacancy in the conveyor network, the Oxygen Generator will not process Ice.

The oxygen generator can be used to refill Oxygen and Hydrogen Bottles by placing empty or partly filled bottles into the O2 generators inventory and either clicking "Refill bottles" or activating the control panel option "Auto-Refill".

Gas Generation

Oxygen and Hydrogen are produced at a 1:1 ratio. In addition, the processing only produces one output. Either Oxygen or Hydrogen, but not both. Giving the Oxygen Generator access to both oxygen and hydrogen tanks will merely split the output of the Oxygen generator into using 50% of the available ice for Oxygen and 50% of the available ice for Hydrogen.

Game version: 01.106

Oxygen generation rate - Large 501 O2/s
Oxygen generation rate - Small 166 O2/s
Hydrogen generation rate - Large 501 H2/s
Hydrogen generation rate - Small 166 H2/s
Ice to oxygen ratio 1 kg Ice = 9 O2
Ice to hydrogen ratio 1 kg Ice = 9 H2
