Large Heat Exchanger

The Large Heat Exchanger is a multiblock Machine in GregTech 5 Unofficial for producing steam from Hot Coolant (produced in IC2 Reactor) or Lava.

Building the Multiblock
The Large Heat Exchanger is a 3x4x3 structure build of Stable Titanium Casings (at last 24). The two center blocks are Titanium Pipe Machine Casings. The controller is placed in the bottom center. It needs Input Hatch at the bottom center and one Output Hatch at the top center (Hot fluid input/cold fluid output). Any Titanium casings can be used for input hatches(distillated water) or output hatches (superheated/steam) It also needs a Maintainance Hatch. No Energy Hatch needed.



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

Math
The heat exchanger takes hot fluid once every 20 ticks(1 sec). Up to 8000L Hot coolant or 2000L Lava at once.

1L hot coolant turns into 1/2L Steam. 1L Lava into 2L Steam.

At half capacity (4000L Hot coolant/sec or 1000L Lava/sec) the heat exchanger starts outputting half the amount of superheated steam.

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