GT New Horizons · Ludicrous Voltage (LuV)
Utupu-Tanuri
The Utupu-Tanuri is an LuV tier multiblock for dehydrating foods, separating crystalized minerals, and evaporating water from various liquids. The Utupu-Tanuri is a direct upgrade from the singleblock dehydrator because it runs at 220% speed, only uses 50% of the EU/t normally required, and offers a fixed 4 parallels. There is also a 5% energy discount (multiplicative) per 900K above the heat capacity of the recipe and one perfect overclock for every 1,800K above. The Utupu-Tanuri even functions as a vacuum furnace for processing metal froths from the Flotation Cell Regulator at the end of the milling process.
Construction
The Utupu-Tanuri has one tiered component. The heating coils determine the heat capacity of the machine which affects its energy discount and the number of perfect overclocks it runs. Buses/hatches may replace any vacuum casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "coil" to specify the tier of the heating coils.
Structure
- Controller: Front bottom center
- 5-12 Vacuum Casing
- 24 Heating Coil (Tiered)
- 1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
- 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
- 1 Muffler Hatch: Any casing
- 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any casing
- 1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any casing
Wallsharing
Utupu-Tanuris may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, heating coils, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.
Usage
The Utupu-Tanuri runs at 220% speed, only uses 50% of the EU/t normally required, and offers a fixed 4 parallels. There is also a 5% energy discount (multiplicative) per 900K above the heat capacity of the recipe and one perfect overclock for every 1,800K above. Dehydrator recipes are low temp recipes and always start from 0K.
The Utupu-Tanuri has two operating modes, listed below. Switch modes in the GUI of the controller or by right-clicking the controller with a screwdriver. The bonuses described above apply to both.
- Dehydrator - Dehydrates food, separates crystalized minerals, and evaporates water from various liquids.
- Vacuum Furnace - Heats fluids in an oxygen-free, low pressure environment.
The dehydrator mode is particularly useful for extracting constituent elements from GT++ dusts and running the last step of the sandline for mass fluorine. The vacuum furnace mode is used almost exclusively to process metal froths from the Flotation Cell Regulator at the end of the milling process.
