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.
