I've been setting up an IC2 Fluid/Liquid Reactor on a server running the Direwolf20 1.7.10 (1.10 version, confusingly...) mod pack. Lots of resources are now sitting in a big lumpy object in a moderately safe room way underground, and I'm trying to figure out how to run it safely.
I'm using a sample fluid reactor configuration included in the IC2 Planner app, supposed to generate 1279.4 HeatUnits/tick, and 511,747,360 total heat units from two Dual fuel cells and two Quad fuel cells.
Connected to the 5x5 block I have six liquid heat exchangers - four powering a two-stage turbine setup and two running Stirling generators. All of these generate power, that part seems to work.
What I am seeing is about a 25-30 second cycle where the reactor coolant heats, powers the various connected blocks, and then starts to overheat the core.
Maybe this is just a simple question; do I just need to attach enough cooling devices to handle all 1280 heat units, to make the reactor run but not overheat? And if so, how many Liquid Heat Exchangers do I need to soak 1280 heat units per tick?
