Heat Exchanging Heater
The Heat Exchanging Heater is a compact 3x3x1 Machine designed to transfer thermal energy (TU) by utilizing temperature of hot fluids. It heats other machines that need heat to work, such as Boiler or Steel furnace. Unlike the Firebox & Heating Oven, which uses on solid fuels, and the Fluid Burner that uses combustible liquids,this machine uses heat of liquids such as Coolant or Heavy water.

Operation
Just like its electric and solid burning machines, the Heat Exchanging Heater needs to be placed below the machine that requires the TU. Both its copper heat plate and the one in this Heat Exchanging Heater must be aligned to work correctly. Since this device use hot fluids for TU, it can buffer up to 24,000 mB of them. The player can insert the fluids or extract fluids by using 4 ports located on the opposite sides of the machine. The fluid's type can also be changed using the fluid identifier slot, located right between the fluid buffers. This machine also buffers up to any posive interger value of TU (2147483647), indicated after hovering cursor on the machine. If this buffer is filled, the machine will not consume any more fluid. Also between fluid buffers there are 2 settings that can change delay of exchanging fluid heat (bottom one) and another one can change amount of fluid per 1 exchanging cycle. The biggest amount of fluid per cycle is 99999 mB. This machine also cant work with full cooled fluid buffer (buffer on the right).
