The '''Vacuum Freezer''' is a [[multiblock]] that super-cools its contents. It is mainly used to chill hot ingots from an [[Electric Blast Furnace]] into usable material, but can also cool certain liquids and cells. The [[Mega Vacuum Freezer]] and [[Cryogenic Freezer]] do similar recipes. This multiblock is required to access Titanium and progress to [[EV]]-[[tier]].
==
A Vacuum Freezer is a hollow 3x3x3 structure. While it has a few LV recipes, most are HV+ and it's not recommended to build the freezer with anything less than HV capability. The standard progression reason for making this multiblock is to access Titanium, which requires either one HV Energy Hatch, or two MV Energy Hatches each being supplied with 2A. With the exception of the controller, the freezer's buses and hatches can go anywhere on the exterior. The remainder of the structure is filled with Frost Proof Machine Casings. While not initially necessary, I/O hatches can be included to reduce the number of casings / aluminium required.

Note that the vacuum freezer, like many other multiblocks, can share walls with other vacuum freezers.▼
* x1 Vacuum Freezer (controller); front, centered
* x1+ Input Bus (any); anywhere, optional
* x1+ Output Bus (any); anywhere, optional
* x1+ Input Hatch (any), anywhere, optional
* x1+ Output Hatch (any), anywhere, optional
== Usage ==
Hot ingots or cells go to the Input Bus, and after successful completion of the recipe cold products will be placed in the Output Bus. Has a 2/4 [[GT_Calculations|overclock factor]], doesn't have parallel recipe processing.
If the Vacuum Freezer does not work, refer to [[Multiblock#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting guide]].
== Useful Tips ==
* The freezer does not need a Muffler Hatch, as it makes no pollution.
*When a player upgrades their electric blast furnace, it is also recommended they upgrade the vacuum freezer accordingly. This is because ingots will start to have higher freeze times and voltage requirements as a player progresses through the Gregtech voltage tiers.▼
*For the first Vacuum Freezer, a LV Input and Output Bus will be sufficient.
▲
*Cooling times are shorter than heating times - a single freezer can keep up with multiple EBF's.
