In Thermal Expansion, certain fluids are registered as coolants. They may be used when generating or consuming Redstone Flux.
Coolants are used by compression dynamos, magmatic dynamos with isentropic reservoirs installed and thermal mediators.
Every coolant has a thermal capacity (TC), which specifies for how long a certain amount of it is effective before being consumed, and a coolant factor, which specifies how effective it is.
Fluid | Thermal capacity (1,000 mB) | Coolant factor |
---|---|---|
Water | 250,000 TC | 20% |
Gelid Cryotheum | 3,000,000 TC | 60% |
Crushed Ice (Forestry) | 1,500,000 TC | 40% |
Distilled Water (IndustrialCraft²) | 300,000 TC | 30% |
Coolant (IndustrialCraft²) | 2,000,000 TC | 50% |
