Electric Heat Generator

ID: neoindustrial:electric_heat_generator

Turns EU into heat: each coil in its 10 slots gives 10 hU/t for 10 EU/t. Outputs heat through its front (copper plate) into the adjacent machine, which must accept heat on that face (the Blast Furnace, on its back). Only uses EU for heat that is accepted. Accepts up to 2048 EU/t.

Heat generators

They produce heat (hU) instead of EU and deliver it through their front (the copper plate) to the machine attached there. That machine must take heat on the side it touches:

Blast Furnaceback
Stirling Generatorback
Fermenterback
Steam Boilerany

They all burn only while something uses the heat: if the machine in front is full or off, they use nothing. The wrench turns them.

Which one to use

GeneratorWhat it usesHeat
Electric Heat Generator1 EU per hU10 hU/t per Coil in its 10 slots (up to 100 hU/t)
Solid Heat Generatorfurnace fuel (coal, wood...)20 hU/t; sometimes leaves Ashes. The fire shows at the back
Fluid Heat Generatorliquid fuelbiogas: 32 hU/t at 10 mB/s; coalfuel: 80 hU/t at 10 mB/s; other mods' fuels too
Radioisotope Heat Generatornothing (RTG pellets, never used up)2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 hU/t depending on how many Pellets of RTG Fuels (each one doubles, one per slot)
Liquid Heat Exchangerheat from a fluid20 hU per mB: hot coolant → coolant, lava → pahoehoe lava

Liquid heat exchanger

  • Each Heat Conductor inside lets 10 hU/t through (2 to 10 conductors).
  • It only cools when the machine in front accepts the heat and there is room for the cold fluid.
  • 2,000 mB tanks; takes ejector and pulling upgrades (fluid ones too). Ideal for using the fluid reactor's heat.
