Heat Exchanger

This is a multiblock machine that transfers heat between various substances.

Mechanics

• The heat exchanger has an internal temperature measured in Heat Units (HU).
• Hot fluids can be used to transfer heat to the system which then can be used to heat other substances.
• The exchanger will start heating fluids only when it’s temperature is above 150 HU.
• The temperature will not go above 1000 HU.
• Some heat is lost every tick. More heat will be lost as temperature increases.
• Every exchanger module increases the maximum heat transfer per tick by 16 HU.

Supported inputs

• Lava will produce 30 HU per mB and output 1 block of obsidian per bucket.
• IC2 Hot Coolant will produce 8 HU per mB and output cooled coolant .
• Water will consume 3 HU per 5 mB and produce 15 mB of Steam.

Modules

• A single Turbine Controller
• Up to 50 Exchangers (each can transfer up to 16 HU per tick)
• Up to 5 Fluid Intake Valves
• Up to 6 Output Modules
• Up to 10 Sensor Modules
• Up to 10 Control Modules

Controller

This is the main block of the exchanger.

 Interface

• Input hot fluid is in the top tank, moving to the bottom as it cools down
• Input cold fluid is in the left tank, moving to the right as it heats up
• Stats to the right (mouse over icons for explanation).
• Click wrench icon for output configuration.
