The Heat Exchanger does just what the name implies: it exchanges heat inside a Nuclear Reactor. It is the basic of all Heat Exchangers, and is used to make all other Heat Exchangers.

The '''Heat Exchanger''' moves heat within the {{Gin|Nuclear Reactor}} and {{Gin|Reactor Pressure Vessel|}} [[Pressure Vessel Reactor]]. It can also be crafted into other types of heat exchangers.

Due to low heat-capacity, this component will easily meltdown unless it has enough cooling. Do not place next to high heat-output components like the Uranium Cell; instead, use the [[Advanced Heat Exchanger]].
Due to its low heat capacity, the Heat Exchanger will easily melt down if it does not have sufficient cooling. It should not be placed next to components that have high heat output such as {{Gin|Uranium Cell}}s.

Usage[edit]

The Heat Exchanger is used to move heat within the Nuclear Reactor and Pressure Vessel Reactor.

Heat Management
Heat Capacity 2500 hU
Hull Exchange Rate 4 hU/s
Component Exchange Rate 12 hU/s

Hull Exchange Rate refers to the amount of heat the Heat Exchanger will take from the reactor hull per reactor tick

Component Exchange Rate refers to the amount of heat the Heat Exchanger will take from adjacent components per reactor tick


Due to its low heat capacity, the Heat Exchanger will easily melt down if it does not have sufficient cooling. It should not be placed next to components that have high heat output such as Grid Uranium Cell.png Uranium Cells.


Upgrades[edit]

The Heat Exchanger can be crafted into other types of heat exchangers that each move heat differently.
