Large Heat Exchanger/ru

"Большой Теплообменник" это мультиблочный Механизм из для производства  или Перегретого Пара из  (генерируемого IC2 Реактором) или из.

Постройка Мультиблока
Большой Теплообменник это структура 3х4х3 из Прочной Титановой Обшивки (как миниум 24). Два центральных блока это Титановая Обшивка Обсадных Труб. Контроллер располагается снизу по центру. БТ нужен Впускной Шлюз снизу по центру и Выпускной Шлюз сверху по центру (Ввод Горячей Жидкости\вывод холодной) Любой блок Титановой Обшивки может быть заменен на Впускной Шлюз (дистилированная вода) или Выпускной Шлюз (перегретый пар или пар).

It also needs a Maintenance Hatch. No Energy Hatch is needed.

Be advised: this machine can explode if it is not supplied distilled water. Other liquids, such as regular water, will neither function to create steam nor prevent these explosions.



Once the Multiblock has formed, resolve maintenance issues. To start it, hit it with a soft hammer.

Math
The heat exchanger takes Hot Fluid once per second (every 20 ticks) and outputs Steam. It can consume up to 8000L Hot Coolant or 2000L Lava at once.

1L/sec hot coolant turns into 80L/sec (4L/t) Steam. 1L/sec Lava into 160L/sec (8L/t) Steam.

If the Heat Exchanger consumes at least 50% of its capacity (4000L/sec Hot Coolant or 1000L/sec Lava), it instead outputs Superheated Steam (50% less as it would output Steam).

Cooled down Lava is returned as Pahoehoe Lava that can be centrifuged for metals more efficiently than hot Lava.

Integrated Circuitry
By default, the Large Heat Exchanger only creates superheated steam if 4000L/s Hot Coolant or 1000L/s Lava is provided. By adding an integrated circuit to the LHE Controller UI, you can lower this threshold at the cost of some efficiency.

There are 25 valid integrated circuit configurations: each one (beyond 1) will reduce the threshold by 150L, but decrease the efficiency of the conversion by 1.5%. Therefore an integrated circuit in configuration-10 will only require 4000-((10-1)*150) = 2650L/sec Hot Coolant per second to generate approximately 4584L/t superheated steam (for 86.5% efficiency).
