Condenser Turbine Operation
The condenser turbine takes steam as an input, and outputs water and power. It also has an internal reservoir of "condensing steam" which is an SE unique fluid.

One way to understand the functionality is to think of the condensing turbine as two buildings
 * building 1 has
 * steam input
 * water output
 * condensing steam output
 * building 2 has
 * condensing steam input
 * power output

Condenser Turbine Tips

 * The condenser turbine cannot be chained end to end like the regular turbine
 * The condenser turbine is very useful on worlds without natural water sources

Power output
The tool tip indicates 10MW, but this is only possible with 1000C steam. There is no common source of 1000C steam in SE.

The turbine consumes a maximum of 60 steam per second. With 500C steam, the turbine generates a maximum of 4.365MW of power (5.82MW * 0.75)

Water Consumption
Since the turbine is only 99% efficient conserving water, at maximum rate it consumes .6 water per second (verify/test?)

The turbine consumes .1375 water per MJ produced. (verify/test?)

The turbine consumes 137.5 water per GJ produced (verify/test?)

Troubleshooting turbine states
picture Explanation: Condensing turbine is not receiving enough steam to operate
 * Steam input low

picture Explanation: Condensing turbine does not have enough room to output water
 * Water output full

picture Power network is not demanding enough power to consume the condensing steam Explanation: if power demand increases the turbine can provide more power
 * condensing input full
