Coolant is an important fluid added in the Experimental Builds of IC2 in order to make [[Coolant Cell]]s, and cool [[Nuclear Reactor]]s in heat mode.
 
'''Coolant''' is a fluid in IC<sup>2</sup> used to make {{Gin|10k Coolant Cell|}} [[10k Coolant Cell|Coolant Cells]] and to cool a {{Gin|Reactor Pressure Vessel||}} [[Fluid reactor|Fluid Reactor]].

Coolant is made by enriching water or [[Distilled Water]] with {{Gin|Lapis Lazuli Dust}} in the {{Gin|Canning Machine}} set to Fluid Enrich mode.
Coolant can be made in 2 different ways, both in the [[Canning Machine]]:

'''Note:''' The coolant would either be output into the Canning Machine's output tank or an available {{Gin|Universal Fluid Cell}}, not both. The GUI is merely an example.
 
The first method is to put 1 bucket of water into the left hand tank per coolant cell, via pumping it in (using a [[Pump]] for example, using a [[Fluid Ejector Upgrade]] to push fluid from another machine into the tank, or by shift-right clicking on the canning machine with a [[Universal Fluid Cell]] filled with water. Then, you insert 8 [[Dusts|lapis Dust]] into the middle slot per coolant cell, and providing the canning machine has power, it will make liquid coolant.  
 
Coolant can be more effectively made using [[Distilled Water]], so that only 1 lapis dust is needed per bucket of coolant, opposed to 8 with normal water.


Coolant can be extracted from the canning machine using universal fluid cells, but the best method to get it into cells is to put [[Empty Cell]]s in the top left hand slot of the canning machine, so the coolant will instead go into the cells opposed to the right hand tank. If there is coolant in the right hand tank of the canning machine, it can be pumped or fluid ejector upgraded into another canning machine, or into a [[Bottling Plant]], where with the canning machine in fill cell from tank mode, and empty cell is put in the left hand slot
As shown, for every 1000 mB of coolant produced, using normal water requires 8 dust while using Distilled Water only requires 1 dust.

Coolant is primarily used to craft {{Gin|10k Coolant Cell}}s, but can also be placed in the world for decorative purposes.
Coolant can be placed in the world, but this however has no useful purpose other than looking nice. The most common use of liquid coolant is to make 10k [[Coolant Cell]]s, crafting it like shown:

Fluid Coolant is also a key component of energy production in the {{Gin|Reactor Pressure Vessel||}} [[Fluid reactor|Fluid Reactor]], where it is heated into [[Hot Coolant]] by the reactor and cooled by a {{Gin|Liquid Heat Exchanger}}.
 
Liquid Coolant is also used in nuclear reactors when they are active. The heat can be vented through various [[Heat Vent]] to the coolant tanks to make [[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.

Experimental-Only Content: This information has been updated to the V2.X version of IC².
The most recent version of IC² is V2.8.<html>.

Coolant is a fluid in IC2 used to make Grid 10k Coolant Cell.png Coolant Cells and to cool a Grid Reactor Pressure Vessel.png Fluid Reactor.

Recipe[edit]

Coolant is made by enriching water or Distilled Water with Grid Lapis Lazuli Dust.png Lapis Lazuli Dust in the Grid Canning Machine.png Canning Machine set to Fluid Enrich mode.



Note: The coolant would either be output into the Canning Machine's output tank or an available Grid Universal Fluid Cell.png Universal Fluid Cell, not both. The GUI is merely an example.

As shown, for every 1000 mB of coolant produced, using normal water requires 8 dust while using Distilled Water only requires 1 dust.

Usage[edit]

Coolant is primarily used to craft Grid 10k Coolant Cell.png 10k Coolant Cells, but can also be placed in the world for decorative purposes.
