Quite proud of myself, can be ran indefinitely pushing 140 EU/t, just remember to replace the plates and fuel.
Otherwise its completely maintenance free.
EFF 7 Full Cycle Reactor

Looks good.

a bit costly you could use less components:

I've already got a 140 EU/t Efficiency 7 reactor on the reactor list: [OFFICIAL] List of good reactor designs
Reactor 7:
Link: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…kzna5mrs145ga23dzq26j2800
Eu/tick: 140
Efficiency: 7 (Uses neutron reflectors)
Cost: Iron 277, Copper 445, Tin 151, Gold 26

There is a much cheaper one on the list. Like half the copper cost and no diamonds needed.
-
yeah sorry about that, forgot to check the costs, when I started on it, I was just wondering if it could be done SANS CASUC style cooling.
-
this is from mine, even less cost same stats
4 chamber

If you were wanting CASUC style cooling, all of the DDoS CRCS reactors have an Efficency of 6. Some of them can push over 2k EU/t, although they require a great many cooling towers to keep running in a Mk. I format.
-
theoretically, you could make a HVC with eff. 7, because OC heat vents absorb heat.

Unfortunately, not really. Either it will run in Mk. I format, in which case swapping them out is entirely unnecessary, or there will be additional hull heat, in which case you'll need to use a Mk. III 'flicker' reactor which will significantly reduce effective EU/t output, or you'll have a hull explosion from leaking heat.For example, this reactor leaks 952 heat/s, which means you're going to need to deal with that heat before it builds up. Which means shutting down the reactor to let it cool.
HVC, like any other CRCS system, relies on heat-absorbing components directly adjacent to fissionable material. Which means an EFF of less than 7. Otherwise, the hull will start to heat up, and you'll have to deal with that somehow.
-
Even if you could it wouldn't be worthwhile. Eff 6 CSCSs work out ok because they have way more quad cells than reflectors. If you have 4 reflectors for every quad cell the copper cost drives you over a cliff.
-
you can shneeky. the heat vents just have to absorb enough heat per tick.

theoritical maximum a HVC reactor can achieve in cooling is 1620
crcs are using the mechanic that the whole heat from uraniumcells will be distributed equaly to nearby components.
HVC need the reactor heat exchange capabilities of OC Vents. -
also, you could do a standard DDoS design, but using reactor heat exchangers instead of coolant cells.
-
reactor heat exchanger lack the heat capacity.

HVC need the reactor heat exchange capabilities of OC Vents.Linked reactor still leaks 257 Heat/second which will need to be dealt with, which means mandatory cooldown periods or you will get a new HAYO!ish crater.
Technically, you could do an HVC with a standard DDoS setup, however the micro-cycle time would be one or two seconds, making it effectively unfeasible.

no it doensnt.
the entire heat from this reactor is getting sucked in by the OC heat vents.
the Heat vents can suck up all the heat the reactor producees but not cool them thats why they are exchanged: HVCalso improved the design:
