Coolant Cells are used to store heat within the Nuclear Reactor.

Recipe[edit]

There are three types of Coolant Cells, each used to craft the next.

Uses[edit]

When used in a Nuclear Reactor, the Coolant Cell serves simply as a large heat buffer. It does not dissipate heat on its own. It can be placed next to a Uranium Cell to collect heat or next to a Heat Exchanger to release heat.

A Coolant Cell cannot be placed into a Reactor Pressure Vessel until it is completely cool. A cool Coolant Cell can still be used in the Reactor Pressure Vessel as normal. If the Coolant Cell is removed from the Reactor Pressure Vessel, it must be cooled down before it can be used in a fluid reactor again. The Coolant Cell can be cooled by placing it into an EU Nuclear Reactor.

A fully heated Coolant Cell, like most other components, will be destroyed.

Coolant Cells are also used to craft Overclocker Upgrades.

 == Uses ==
+When used in a {{Gin|Nuclear Reactor}}, the Coolant Cell serves simply as a large heat buffer. It does not dissipate heat on its own. It can be placed next to a {{Gin|Uranium Cell}} to collect heat or next to a {{Gin|Heat Exchanger}} to release heat.
+A Coolant Cell cannot be placed into a [[Reactor Pressure Vessel]] until it is completely cool. A cool Coolant Cell can still be used in the Reactor Pressure Vessel as normal. If the Coolant Cell is removed from the Reactor Pressure Vessel, it must be cooled down before it can be used in a fluid reactor again. The Coolant Cell can be cooled by placing it into an EU Nuclear Reactor.
-When used in a {{Gin|Nuclear Reactor}}, a coolant cell serves simply as a large heat buffer.  It does not cool itself, nor will it exchange heat with nearby components (on its own); it can be placed next to a [[fuel rod]] to absorb its heat, and/or have heat removed from it with [[heat exchanger]]s, for example.
+A fully heated Coolant Cell, like most other components, will be destroyed.
-A damaged, or partially heated, coolant cell cannot be placed into a [[fluid reactor]]; however, an undamaged coolant cell may be used in one, and take in heat, and then have it removed with heat exchangers as usual.  So long as the coolant cell is not removed, it can stay in the fluid reactor in its damaged state.  If it is removed, however, it must be placed in a bare EU reactor (one without a pressure vessel) and cooled back to an undamaged state before it can be used in a fluid reactor again (meaning that the heat it would have generated from being cooled is wasted).
-A fully damaged coolant cell, like most other components, will melt and disappear.
+Coolant Cells are also used to craft {{Gin|Overclocker Upgrade}}s.
