Heat Vent
Heat Vent is the base cooling item for Industrial Craft 2 reactors, self-venting 6 hU (heat units) per second inside a Nuclear Reactor.
Description
Heat Vent also serves as the base ingredient of the whole vent family. Eight Copper framing one Heat Vent produce the Reactor Heat Vent, and four Tin in a plus produce the component version. Two Heat Vents with one Diamond between them produce the Advanced Heat Vent. The Rsh Condensator recipe combines seven Redstone, one Heat Vent, and one Heat Exchanger. Each vent type in the chain removes a different amount of heat, which suits different reactor layouts. A first Nuclear Reactor can rely on Heat Vent for 6 hU of cooling per second per item, with specialized vents added later.
Guide
How to Craft Heat Vent in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Collect four Iron and one Electric Motor
Gather the Heat Vent recipe ingredients: four Iron and one Electric Motor from Industrial Craft 2.
-
2
Open a crafting table
Right-click a crafting table to open the 3×3 grid used for the Heat Vent recipe.
-
3
Arrange the ingredients in a plus shape
Put the Electric Motor in the center cell and one Iron in the cells above, below, left, and right of the Electric Motor; leave the four corners empty.
-
4
Take the Heat Vent from the output slot
Pick up the finished Heat Vent; one recipe yields exactly one Heat Vent.
-
5
Load the Heat Vent into a Nuclear Reactor
Open the Industrial Craft 2 Nuclear Reactor interface and place the Heat Vent into the component grid, where Heat Vent vents 6 hU per second.
Heat Vent crafts into Reactor Heat Vent, Component Heat Vent, and Advanced Heat Vent, and Heat Vent is part of the Rsh Condensator recipe; each vent type removes a different amount of heat.

Frequently asked questions
What does Heat Vent do in Industrial Craft 2?
Heat Vent removes heat from the Nuclear Reactor and the Pressure Vessel Reactor. The self-venting rate of Heat Vent is 6 hU per second.
How do you craft Heat Vent?
Heat Vent is crafted from four Iron and one Electric Motor arranged in a plus shape on a crafting table, with the Electric Motor in the center cell. The recipe yields one Heat Vent.
Which recipes use Heat Vent as an ingredient?
Heat Vent appears in the recipes for Reactor Heat Vent, Component Heat Vent, Advanced Heat Vent, and Rsh Condensator. The Overclocked Heat Vent is crafted from Reactor Heat Vent, one step further down the chain.
Is Heat Vent a block or an item?
Heat Vent is an item from the reactor components of Industrial Craft 2. The Heat Vent belongs in the reactor's slot grid rather than in the world.
How much heat does one Heat Vent remove per second?
One Heat Vent vents 6 hU per second from the heat stored inside the Heat Vent. Hull venting and component venting rates are not listed for Heat Vent.
