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:
| Machine that uses heat | Side it takes heat on |
|---|---|
Blast Furnace | back |
Stirling Generator | back |
Fermenter | back |
Steam Boiler | any |
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
| Generator | What it uses | Heat |
|---|---|---|
Electric Heat Generator | 1 EU per hU | 10 hU/t per Coil in its 10 slots (up to 100 hU/t) |
Solid Heat Generator | furnace fuel (coal, wood...) | 20 hU/t; sometimes leaves Ashes. The fire shows at the back |
Fluid Heat Generator | liquid fuel | biogas: 32 hU/t at 10 mB/s; coalfuel: 80 hU/t at 10 mB/s; other mods' fuels too |
Radioisotope Heat Generator | nothing (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 Exchanger | heat from a fluid | 20 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.
