The '''Cooling Tower (Large)''' is a much higher throughput and physically much larger variant of the [[Cooling Tower]] which allows for the conversion of [[Steam Hi]], [[Steam Lo]], and [[Steam Depleted]] byproducts into [[Water]]. As the ratio of [[Water]] to all types of steam is 1:1, the Cooling Tower (Large) thus recovers 83.3% of the Water contained therein. Compared to the Cooling Tower, this marks a 33% increase in the Water recovery rate.

While it is designed for use in [[Nuclear Reactor]] setups as its throughput is an exact match, it could theoretically be used to recover water from any steam byproduct. It can process the resulting steam output from up to 24 [[Arc Furnace II]] machines or 6 [[Exhaust Scrubber]]s.
It can process the resulting steam output from up to 16 [[Arc Furnace II]] machines or 4 [[Exhaust Scrubber]]s. Conversely, it takes exactly 3 of these to handle the steam output of a single [[Nuclear Reactor]] with 3x output.

VariantsCooling Tower

The Cooling Tower (Large) is a much higher throughput and physically much larger variant of the Cooling Tower which allows for the conversion of Steam (Super), Steam (High), Steam (Low), and Steam Depleted byproducts into Water. As the ratio of Water to all types of steam is 1:1, the Cooling Tower (Large) thus recovers 75% of the Water contained from Steam (Low), and Steam Depleted. Compared to the regular Cooling Tower, this marks a 50% increase in the Water recovery rate.

It can process the resulting steam output from up to 16 Arc Furnace II machines or 4 Exhaust Scrubbers. Conversely, it takes exactly 3 of these to handle the steam output of a single Nuclear Reactor with 3x output.
