Unclassified reactor

Hi industrialcraft2 nuclear engineering forums, i'm urbanshadow and I'm new here . I'm having trouble classifing one of my reactor designs and I would like someones help me on that. I'ts a 5 chamber reactor and AFAIK seems like a Mark I. I don't know what type of Mark I reactor it is so I'm asking for it. Another specs are: heat stabilization (not only hull heat, also cooling elements heat) at 30 heat in tick 89, 50 Eu/t, 1.67 eficiency, thought out to work water cooled. Here's the simulator design.

Also, any coments or modifications you can made to my design are highly appreciated (If package comes with explanation, I will be happy). EDIT: Did you guys think a 60 Eu/t, eficiency 3 Mark I in 2 chambers can be built?

I don't know how to reactors are named but your design is a Mark I for sure.

The efficiency of your design is not very good, but if you want to keep this uranium pattern try to use this:

You have to always try to use HDs in the most efficient way (i'm not good at it, but I still lowered the number of them) because they are expensive so you would prefer to get the best from them. The basic Idea is to not share a coolant cell between two or more HDs and to always try to have 3 or 4 coolant cells next to them.

If you have the possibility to add another chamber you may try this design:
http://test.vendaria.net/index.php?reac…HCCCCCCCHCHCCHC

It has the same output in terms of EU/t as your, but it uses 2 less uranium cells (eff: 2.5). Remember it is a mark II reactor.

PS: my designs are not perfect, there is a lot of room for improvements.

Edit: my second design has 2 coolant cells that aren't touching any HD so the Heat surplus is 5 not 3.

I apologize for my English.

I liked how you modified my desing, very clever. So the point is to independentize the sources of heat to try to get the maximun coolant effect out of them, is this correct? Also I'm trying to scale the design down by removing chambers rather than adding more. I'll keep in mind those hints. I also apologize for my english if im wrong somewhere (hopefully not!).

EDIT: Check this bad guy I made from the last one. All the same, 4 chambers. Better design
Oh and I forgot to say, this actual design it's meant to be in a twin reactor fashion (100 EU/t from 12 uranium cells), so that's the reason why I try to scale it down to 3 or 2 chambers, at least.

Same eff, same output and same heat but 2 components less

If you want to have less chambers you can use this:
http://test.vendaria.net/index.php?reac…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

it's mark I and it has efficiency 2.33. It produces less Eu/t, but more EU per uranium Cell.

It got lower eff thus it produces less eu per uranium cell. Also:

4 components cheaper

Sorry, I was referring to the design made by Urbanshadow.

edit: whoopsy, I uploaded the wrong design xD (the one I made wrong lol).

0 heat now and totaly useless empty place for optional ice block cooling lol

Try this one when low on budget should be able to complete 1 cycle without problems (have to cooldown after):

Yeah I have been working with than desing for a while, but I'm trying to get this on my own (even if I came with the same result). Also I might try to get better EU/t for cell.

urbanshadow · October 19, 2011 at 6:45 PM

This is all can I got sticking in my design: Design. It's a lil bit risky Mark II, but 2 chambers, 50 EU/t, 6 uranium cells. It's impossible to make a Mark I with 50Eu/t in 3 or less chambers.

Rick · October 19, 2011 at 7:08 PM

I dont like anything below 2 eff. Better make 2 reactors then so you wont waste your uranium on low eff.
