== Large Heat Exchanger / WWXL / Extreme Heat Exchanger ==
These multiblocks all produce steam by consuming some kind of hot liquid. They typically work inas conjuctiona withmiddle anotherstep typebetween ofnuclear poweror genfusion likereactors nukesand orsteam plasmaturbines to produce even more power at the cost of more processing steps. All heat exchangers blow up if not properly supplied with water or distilled water.
* The [[Large Heat Exchanger]] can consumeconsumes hot coolant, lava or lavasolar salt (hot) to produceconvert water into steam or superheated steam. andIt returnalso returns the cold version of respective coolant. (notFoe hot)example, orlava Pahoehoeis Lavaconverted into pahoehoe lava (which can be centrifuged for some fantasticbasic resources): (Coppercopper, Tintin, Silversilver, Aluminiumaluminium, Phosphorusphosphorus, titanium and Tungsten)tungsten (Technicallythough alsonot Titaniumvery butmuch youand dorequires not getquite a worthwhilebit of amountpower).
* TheWhakawhiti WWXLWera XL acts like 16 Large Heat Exchangers in one, and can only process lava and hot coolant
* The Extreme Heat Exchanger can either act like basically 10 Large Heat Exchangers, but its main purpose is to create Supercriticalsupercritical Steamsteam from Plasmaplasma. It will only generate Supercriticalsupercritical Steamsteam from Plasmaplasma, not Lavalava or Hothot Coolantcoolant, and it is the only source of Supercriticalsupercritical Steamsteam.
* Thermal Boiler can consume lava, pahoehoe lava or solar salt (hot) and makes either superheated or regular steam. It isn't known for high throughput rate but is quite cheap and can return small amounts of rare materials from lavas without centrifuging, among them: gold, silver, tantalum and tungstate.
Large Steam Turbines consume steam and return distilled water, Large HP Steam Turbines consume Superheatedsuperheated Steamsteam and return Steamsteam, and Large SC Steam Turbines consume supercritical steam and also return steam.
Hot coolant basically comes from nukes (it can also come from Deep Earth Heating Pumps, Bees, and a few other sources, but these are all hilariously unviable).
Lava can be made from some bees or by pumping the nether, but in the quantities you need it, Everburn Urns or the Blood Magic Serenade of the Nether are preferred.
Plasma comes mainly from fusion reactors (there are some exceptions like HyrdrogenHydrogen Plasma from the CylcotronCyclotron but these are not really relevant for power gen).
Finally therethe issolar Hotsalt Solar(hot) Saltcomes from the Solar Tower,. thisIts mustnot bea fed to the Thermal Boiler rather than the LHE to getmainstream power.
