The Thermal Evaporation Plant is a multiblock structure added by Mekanism. It is used in the Mekanism Ore-Processing system to produce Brine from Water (see Usage) .
Recipe[edit]
The basic structure is available in two versions which are shown in the following images. The differences between the simple and the advanced version are the temperature and production rate; the simple version saves on resources but is less productive. The Thermal Evaporation Controller and Thermal Evaporation Valve have no predefined positions and can be set anywhere in the structure.
The minimum height of the structure is 3 blocks. To increase the internal storage, the structure can be raised up to 18 blocks high.
Simple version[edit]
Advanced version[edit]
Usage[edit]
The simple version only runs on ambient temperature. For example, if the plant is standing in a desert, the internal temperature and the resulting production is higher compared to if the plant is standing in a snow biome.
The advanced version works independently from the ambient temperature, and achieves much higher temperatures and production rates thanks to the energy of the solar modules.
The structure requires no further external energy source. To start the production of Brine, input Water into the Plant via Basic Mechanical Pipes and Electric Pumps.
The produced Brine can be extracted via Basic Mechanical Pipes and the second Thermal Evaporation Valve. To start the extraction the connection between valve and pipe must be configured with an Configurator.
