Thermal
Introduction¶
Have your reactor set up? Next will be a Heat Exchanger to generate steam!
Head up to Recipes and start crafting on all needed blocks and items for the heat exchanger!
Multiblock Structure¶
Heat Exchanger¶
Materials
To build a Hext Exchanger like shown below in Construction, you need the following blocks:
Construction
Click the buttons below to cycle between the construction steps!
Description
Basic foundation is a 3x3 floor with two additional opposing blocks made out of Thermal Conductor.
The four corners need to be filled with Thermal Valve!
Description
Next you need one Thermal Controller in the mid of one if the two side with 5 block length!
Fill the rest of the layer with Thermal Conductor!
Description
Lastly fill the last layer with Thermal Sinks!
Remember that the multiblock does not give you instant feedback when its build correctly!
Usage¶
Enabling the Heat Exchanger¶
After you have built up your heat exchanger, click on its Thermal Controller to activate the multiblock structure! The activation is indicated by green particles around the multiblock and the controller should have turned on! Otherwise, check your structure again to see if it fits the conditions in Multiblock Structure.
Usage¶
Take a Configurator and click on each Thermal Valve to configure the in- or outputs! Into the Coolant Input you'll insert water, on the Coolant Output the produced steam will come out! Same for the Heat Input, where you'll insert the Heated Molten Salt, on the Heat Output will the Depleted Molten Salt extracted!
That extracted Depleted Molten Salt is need to be enriched again. For that take a Fluid Enricher and insert the fluid and thorium!
