Power Generation: Difference between revisions

Line 100:
These multiblocks all produce steam by consuming some kind of hot liquid. They typically work as a middle step between nuclear or fusion reactors and steam turbines 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.
 
* [[Large Heat Exchanger]] consumes hot coolant, lava or solar salt (hot) to convert water into steam or superheated steam. It also returns the cold version of respective coolant. FoeFor example, lava is converted into pahoehoe lava which can be centrifuged for some basic resources: copper, tin, silver, aluminium, phosphorus, titanium and tungsten (though not very much and requires quite a bit of power).
* Whakawhiti Wera XL acts like 16 Large Heat Exchangers in one, and can only process lava and hot coolant
* Extreme Heat Exchanger can either act like basically 10 Large Heat Exchangers, but its main purpose is to create supercritical steam from plasma. It will only generate supercritical steam from plasma, not lava or hot coolant, and it is the only source of supercritical steam.
