Hot coolant is usually made in nuclear reactors when they are active. The heat can be vented through various Heat Vent to the coolant tanks to make the coolant into hot coolant. The hot coolant can then be used in a Liquid Heat Exchanger with a Stirling Generator to use the heat to generate EU. The hot coolant will then be cooled and will become a regular coolant which can be used back in the reactor.

Hot Coolant is a type of fluid that is made in nuclear reactors in heat mode when they are active.

See: Crafting Guide

Usage[edit]

Hot coolant can be created by venting the heat from a nuclear reactor containing coolant in heat mode. Hot coolant can then be ejected using the Reactor Fluid Port and piped into a Liquid Heat Exchanger together with a Stirling Generator to generate EU. The hot coolant will then be cooled and will become a regular coolant which can be used back in the reactor.

Alternatively, the hot coolant can be used by a steam boiler to make either steam or superheated steam, which can be processed by a steam generator, for a better heat to EU ratio.

Standing in hot coolant is inadvisable as it will burn you, just like lava.
