| − | The '''converter''' is a special [[parts|part]] able to create usable [[fuel]] for everyday use from exploited [[resource|raw-material]] ''(which is now means [[ore]] only)''. This feature makes these parts an inevitable final element of the fuel producing activities start with [[resource scanner|resource scanning]], continue with [[resource harvester|resource harvesting]].

| − | The converters work with different efficiency depending on the type, but the conversion always needs vast amount of [[electric charge]].

| − | ==Usage==
| |
| − | For the conversion a non-empty [[ore tank]] and a proper not-full [[fuel tank]] have to be connected to the converter.
| |
| − | There are the following options possible:
| |
| − | * '''''Start/Stop ISRU [Lf+Ox]''''' - converts to [[liquid fuel]] and [[oxidizer]] in ratio of the need of the [[liquid fuel engine]]s.
| |
| − | * '''''Start/Stop ISRU [Monoprop]''''' - converts to [[monopropellant]].
| |
| − | * '''''Start/Stop ISRU [LqdFuel]''''' - converts to liquid fuel.
| |
| − | * '''''Start/Stop ISRU [Ox]''''' - converts to oxidizer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | During the conversion of the core temperature increases till it reaches its thermodynamical balance - and the conversion efficiency depends on the core temperature. The attached [[radiator]]s can be used for dissipate the produced heat for keeping the core temperature around the optimal value.
