The Reactor Coolant Injector (LZH) is a machine that repairs LZH-Condensators in a Nuclear Reactor using Lapis Lazuli Blocks.
Recipe
GUI

- 3x3 grid for Lapis Lazuli Blocks. With its 9 inventory slots, a coolant injector can hold up to 576 blocks at a time.
- 4 upgrade slots. However, it does not support Transformer Upgrades. Therefore, if the nuclear reactor generates more than 128 energy, you can only connect the Coolant Injector to it via transformers (like MV-Transformer), or you must connect it to a power source separate from the nuclear reactor.
Uses
The output face of the coolant injector (marked by a square, unlike the grid-texture of the other sides) faces away from the player when placed. This face should be directly touching either a Nuclear Reactor or one of its attached Reactor Chambers in order to function correctly.

To prepare the coolant injector for operation, provide it power and (using the GUI) fuel: Lapis Lazuli Block. If facing a valid destination, powered, and 'fueled' with at least one block, its texture should light up blue, as seen in the image at left.
Note that a coolant injector will not draw the EU it needs (1K per injection) from the reactor it is attached to. But you can still connect it to the reactor with a wire (or, if the reactor produces more than 128 EU, you’ll need to supply power via transformers), or power it from another energy source.
Once there is a condensator that requires repair in the destination reactor, the coolant injector will instantly use a resource block and 1000 EU to fully repair it. Requires repair is currently defined as below 15% of maximum durability; precisely 15% will not trigger the use of a block. Thus, LZH-Condensators are only repaired once they drop below 15000 durability.
The use of a single Lapis Lazuli in a crafting grid is far more efficient than block injection (3.6:1 respectively, in the best case of a 100% repair); but the use of a coolant injector allows for fully automatic application of these single-use coolants, without any concerns of reactors overheating from misclicks or inattention.
Although it is possible to enclose a coolant injector inside the Fluid Nuclear Reactor, it is not recommended; the use of a condensator in this case is counterproductive, due to its destroying heat instead of transferring it to the reactor coolant as is needed for power generation.
Note
- If you break the Reactor Coolant Injector (LZH) with a pickaxe or drill, a Advanced Machine Casing will drop.
Usage
Reactor Coolant Injector (LZH) has no known uses in crafting.
