LZH-Condensator
LZH-Condensator is an Industrial Craft 2 reactor component that instantly destroys reactor heat (fuel-rod thermal output) with a capacity of 100,000 heat.
Description
Inside the Nuclear Reactor, LZH-Condensator accepts heat only from directly adjacent parts — fuel rods next to the condensator, or heat exchangers routing heat into the slot — and never pulls heat from the rest of the reactor. Repairs happen on a crafting grid: 1 Redstone restores up to 5,000 durability, 1 Lapis Lazuli restores up to 40,000, and because every repair burns resources, condensator-cooled builds count as a Single Use Coolant Configuration. A fluid reactor is the wrong home for LZH-Condensator: heat destroyed inside the condensator never reaches the reactor coolant, so the design that generates power from heat transfer loses the entire output. For a reactor that must simply erase dangerous heat spikes, LZH-Condensator is the strongest of the two condensator types.
Guide
How to craft and use the LZH-Condensator in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Craft two RSH-Condensators first
Fill the top row and both side columns of a crafting grid with 7 Redstone, place a Heat Vent in the center and a Heat Exchanger below; the recipe yields 1 RSH-Condensator, so run the craft twice.
-
2
Assemble the LZH-Condensator
Put Redstone in the four corners, a Reactor Heat Vent top-center, the two RSH-Condensators on the middle sides, a Block of Lapis Lazuli in the middle and a Reactor Heat Exchanger bottom-center; one crafting operation produces 1 LZH-Condensator.
-
3
Place the condensator next to a heat source
Put the LZH-Condensator into a Nuclear Reactor slot directly beside a fuel rod or a heat exchanger, because the condensator accepts heat only from adjacent components and never pulls heat from anywhere else.
-
4
Repair with Redstone or Lapis Lazuli
Take the damaged LZH-Condensator to a crafting grid and combine the condensator with 1 Redstone to restore up to 5,000 durability, or with 1 Lapis Lazuli to restore up to 40,000.
-
5
Watch the durability meter
Remove or repair a LZH-Condensator that has reached 0 health: an exhausted condensator keeps occupying the reactor slot while eliminating no heat at all.
A fluid reactor outputs power only through heat transfer to reactor coolant, but LZH-Condensator destroys heat instead of transferring heat — with a condensator inside, the fluid design loses its output power.

Frequently asked questions
How much heat does one LZH-Condensator destroy?
One LZH-Condensator eliminates 100,000 heat before dropping to 0 health, five times the 20,000 capacity of an RSH-Condensator. An exhausted condensator is not destroyed and can be repaired.
How do I repair a LZH-Condensator?
Combine LZH-Condensator with Redstone in a crafting grid to restore up to 5,000 durability, or with Lapis Lazuli to restore up to 40,000. Repairs consume resources, which makes condensator cooling a Single Use Coolant Configuration.
What is the difference between LZH-Condensator and RSH-Condensator?
LZH-Condensator offers 100,000 durability against 20,000 for RSH-Condensator, and the LZH-Condensator recipe itself consumes two RSH-Condensators and a Block of Lapis Lazuli.
Why does my fluid reactor stop producing power with a LZH-Condensator?
A fluid reactor produces power from heat moving into reactor coolant, and LZH-Condensator destroys heat before any transfer happens. Condensators are not recommended for fluid reactor setups.
Does LZH-Condensator cool the whole Nuclear Reactor?
No. LZH-Condensator accepts heat only from directly adjacent fuel rods and heat exchangers and never pulls heat from other reactor components.
