	There are two basic types of burn chambers:		There are two basic types of burn chambers:

	*For tritium, which is the main burn chamber on most stations, usually close to the atmos bay, separated by space from it, to avoid incinerating all of your coworkers if you break the chamber, and as the name suggests, it is used for creation of tritium, a highly combustible gas made by burning a mixture of phoron and oxygen, the mixture is usually 3% phoron, and the rest - oxygen, however the phoron to oxygen ratio can be anywhere below 3:96, if this condition is not met, the phoron will produce CO2 instead of tritium, the said tritium can be collected from the reaction using scrubbers configured using an air alarm linked to it, set to only collect tritium, also do note that the collection of tritium is increased when there are more scrubbers present in the chamber.		*For tritium, which is the main burn chamber on most stations, usually close to the atmos bay, separated by space from it, to avoid incinerating all of your coworkers if you break the chamber, and as the name suggests, it is used for creation of tritium, a highly combustible gas made by burning a mixture of phoron and oxygen, the mixture is usually 3% phoron, and the rest - oxygen, however the phoron to oxygen ratio can be anywhere below 3:96, if this condition is not met, the phoron will produce CO2 instead of tritium, the said tritium can be collected from the reaction using scrubbers configured using an air alarm linked to it, set to only collect tritium, also do note that the collection of tritium is increased when there are more scrubbers present in the chamber.

	*For heating, which is the same as the "for tritium" burn chamber, except the tritium is NOT collected, and instead burned for heat, as phoron combustion isn't actually great at heating, if this chamber is desired to be set up, you will need an injector into the chamber with a valid burn mix inputted constantly and a source of ignition in the chamber (you can just walk into the chamber in your fancy fire immune gear with a lit welder in hand).		*For heating, which is the same as the "for tritium" burn chamber, except the tritium is NOT collected, and instead burned for heat, as phoron combustion isn't actually great at heating, if this chamber is desired to be set up, you will need an injector into the chamber with a valid burn mix inputted constantly and a source of ignition in the chamber (you can just walk into the chamber in your fancy fire immune gear with a lit welder in hand).

	==== TEG setup ====		==== TEG setup ====
	A basic TEG setup works by circulating phoron in the two loops connected to the TEG, the cold loop connecting to inline radiators in space through volumetric pumps and the hot loop connected to inline radiators in a "for heating" type burn chamber, to set this up on a fresh station, without any mapped setup, you must make a loop of pipes going from a teg side part into a volumetric pump that goes into the inline radiators placed in the burn chamber that go into another volumetric pump that leads into the teg side part, then do the same for the other teg side part, but with the inline radiators placed in space, then you have to have an ability to fill the loops by making a volumetric pump going from a connector port to any part of the loop, do that for both loops and attach a phoron gas canister to both connector ports and enable all pumps of the cold loop (including the phoron input), but leave the pumps in the hot loop off until you fill the burn chamber using '''a regular pump''' set to 1000 kPa and let it "settle" (wait until the burning stops and you see water vapor inside), and only then enable all the pumps in the hot loop and fill it with phoron, you may also note that at some point the burn chamber "clogs" with waste gases and the burning stops completely, this can be solved by venting the waste gases in the burn chamber by either opening the blast doors that lead to space, or setting up a passive vent in the chamber going into an inlet pressure valve set to 8900 kPa or so (because the injectors clog at 9000 kPa or more), that leads into a passive vent in space.

== Job Description ==
You've survived enough security beatings, singulooses and explosions. So now youre a atmospheric technician, instead of singularity generators you make power with nuclear reactors or a TEG. You can also make gases with powerfull effects or cans of super explosives.

=== Gearing Up. ===
Once you arrive to station you want to go to atmos and open a locker, here you have your fire immune gear and gear to deal with the fire.
