Steam Water Injectors
1527+
.....................
1528+
1529+
Water injectors are typically modelled by default, and sizes and injection rates will be calculated automatically by OR.
1530+
1531+
If desired the user may customise some of the default values by using the following parameters:
1532+
1533+
``InjectorTypes ( x, y )`` - will allow the user to set up a combination of exhaust or live steam injectors for the
1534+
locomotive. Use 0 = Live steam and 1 = Exhaust steam in either of the x or y positions.
1535+
1536+
``ORTSInjectorSize ( x, y )`` - the size of each injector can be indicated in this parameter. The values will be in
1537+
mm, and typically should not be greater then 19mm.

Locomotive Back Pressure
1541+
........................
1542+
1543+
OR calculates a default back pressure value for the exhaust steam emitted from the cylinder.
1544+
1545+
The user may customise the default value where appropriate values are known, ie from test reports, etc.
1546+
1547+
To customise the backpressure curve use:
1548+
1549+
``ORTSCylinderBackPressureVsSteamOutput ( x, y )`` - where x = series of cylinder steam usage rates in lb/h, and y = back
1550+
pressure in psig.
1551+
1552+
Note: The older parameter ``ortscylinderbackpressure`` is inaccurate and no longer supported in OR. An error message will
1553+
display if OR detects the use of this parameter.
