How do I get heat from uranium cells into a single coolant cell?

  • How do I do this?
    I've tried adv. heat exchangers but they just heat up the hull with coolantcell heat.
    Basic ones just melt themselves using the coolantcell's heat.
    So how can I get the heat into the coolantcell and nothing else.

    Place the fuel cell directly beside the uranium cell.
    All heat will be thrown at the cooling cell.


    Otherwise, if you need a transfering component that does not interact with the hull, use a component heat exchanger.

    They just melt themselves too.
    And I have a 4-quad-cell reactor,so that won't work.

  • They melt themselves because the amount of heat you're asking them to move around is higher than their capacity to move heat around. If you want to make that work, use more than one. If that still melts, use even more.


    And if you find yourself thinking "wow, that takes up so much space and so many components, that's totally inefficient!", then you have just figured out why nobody else is doing it ;)
