Description

Exchanges heat between two pipe networks very quickly, ~10x as fast as the Small Direct Heat Exchanger. It's counterpart is the Counterflow Heat Exchanger. _{pun intended}

Usage

It's purpose is to equalize the temperature of two pipe networks without allowing their contents to mix.
The kit produces 3 versions, gas to gas, gas to liquid and liquid to liquid. Each version has 2 pipe connections for pipe atmospheres whose contents' heat will be exchanged. The heat exchanger itself does not have an internal volume and instead acts directly on the input pipe networks. A meter on the side displays the heat exchange rate in joules (per tick?).

Notes

• It has no logic port
• Requires frame support, unlike the small heat exchanger
• In older versions, heat exchangers had 2 inputs and 2 outputs intended for active liquid flow. This feature has been consolidated in the form of the counterflow heat exchanger
