Storing Surplus Energy in a Thermal Battery
Integrating the Thermal Reservoir
When your Molten Rotor Furnace produces more thermal output than your active machines consume, link a Thermal Battery to capture the excess.
1. Place a Thermal Battery adjacent to your generation setup or link it into your network using Thermochemical Conduits or Shafts.
2. Direct excess furnace output into the battery. A single Thermal Battery can store up to five times the heat capacity of a fully heated furnace.
3. Put on Engineer's Goggles to monitor the battery's internal storage and incoming heat tiers.
Discharging Stored Heat
The Thermal Battery acts as a thermal buffer to keep machinery running steadily.
1. Keep the battery linked to your factory's thermochemical distribution grid.
2. Allow the battery to automatically discharge its stored heat into the network whenever your primary Molten Rotor Furnaces run dry or run out of fuel.
3. Install a Thermochemical Clutch on the battery's output line with redstone controls if you wish to manually hold stored heat in reserve until a specific production batch begins.
