This means you can put 2 boilers next to each other with 1 block in the middle space. Put a send only Liquid tesseract in this 1 block space and another receive only liquid tesseract in between two steam consumers.
And you still get the 144 MJ/t or 349,92 EU/t
This is great. Since you do not even have to connect them with any cabel J

wrong. you still need 9 liquiducts to exctact 720mb/t per 36 hp boiler, because if you attach tesseract to a boiler, it will only extract 80mb/t. you can however, if i`m not mistaken, lead liquiducts from 2 boilers to 1 tesseract. you should take into account that that 2 boilers produce 1440 mb/t, so you will need a second consumer to utilize it.This means you can put 2 boilers next to each other with 1 block in the middle space.

oh, you said they can output into consumers not that boilers can output in tesseracts... damn it. I will do some testing on this tonight cause now I¨m a bit confused.
are the 80mb/t the max. output of a boiler per block or the max. pump rate of unpowered liquiducts?
80mb/t is a limit of what unpowered liquiduct can take out of reservoir. same seems to be true for tesseract, but its throughput is bigger when liquid goe into it via tesseract ot any other "pipes"are the 80mb/t the max. output of a boiler per block or the max. pump rate of unpowered liquiducts?
By default each block of the boiler (not the firebox) will output 80mb/t of steam to any adjacent block that can take it. Which is the reason unpowered liquid ducts and pipes work as well as putting a turbine directly next to the boiler and so on.
Unpowered liquid ducts are fully passive and incapable of drawing liquid on their own. How ever a lot of machines are able to output liquids on their own much like a pulverizer is able to output dusts to adjacent inventories and pipes.

note the tesseract has an input limit of 160mb/side. you need to connect the liquiduct to 5 sides, and each boiler will require its own 'send' tesseract due to this limitation.
a 'receive' tesseract can receive and ouput an unlimited amount of steam. the bridge steam consumer, however, can only accept 1 bucket/tick. if you were using a fancy 6 bridge starred configuration, a single tesseract could output 6buckets/tick to 6 consumers. most of the time this isnt practical, and the most you can/will get from a single tesseract is 2000 mb/t when hooked up to two bridges with 3 boiler tesseracts set to 'send' on the same channel.
my personal preference is to place 9 liquiducts on the boiler, then place a tesseract on the center of that square and surround it with more liquiduct on layer 2. this will export all the steam with 13 liquiducts.

You have to power the liquiducts at the consumer. If you take a look on the update in my first Post you will see that they have 160 steam/t output on each side of the Consumer if they are powered.(give them a RS signal)
If you use them like in your screenshot, its just 80 Steam/t so you will only be abel to get 400 Steam/t convertet to EU.
Incorrect. I wasn't talking about the output from the boiler to the liquiduct. I was talking about liquiduct to consumer. There, the limit appears to be 160 mB/tick, so you need to hook up 5 liquiducts to the consumer in order to get all the steam into the consumer.
