Coolant Cells - TinyModularThings/IC2Classic GitHub Wiki

Nuclear Reactors generate heat. Coolant Cells store heat. Pretty simple. Coolant Cells do not directly interact with any other Reactor components, however Fuel Cells will push heat into them, and Heat Exchangers can remove heat from them. Coolant Cells will not otherwise cool themselves.

There are three sizes of Coolant Cells, 10k, 30k, and 60k. Larger cells can store proportionally larger amounts of heat; a 10k Coolant Cell can store 10,000 heat, a 30k 30,000, a 60k 60,000.

Some ambitious Reactor engineers have created so-called 'cooling tower' reactor designs, reliant upon constantly inserting fresh Coolant Cells into a central reactor, constantly removing heated Coolant Cells, and shoving those Coolant Cells into several nearby cooling tower reactors, containing no Uranium but a large array of Heat Exchangers and Heat Vents.
