			Heat exchangers are different from most other atmospheric devices because they operate between pipe networks instead of an internal volume and outside atmosphere. Heat transfer between two networks follows the same rules as thermal convection.

Banangecko: Noticed these values were missing from stationeers wiki, created page. Required some in-game testing. Will be linked by radiator pages later, but not sure where else.

This is a collection of thermal convection, radiation, and solar heating values for easy comparison to one another.

===Pipe Network===
Note that all equivalent liquid structures have the same values as their gas counterparts, except for the [[Kit (Liquid Radiator)| ''Liquid Pipe Convection Radiator'']] which is listed separately.<br>
Insulated tanks, pipes and in-line tanks have zero for all values.<br>
Solar heating does not seem to apply to pipe-mounted radiators.
