Heatsinks facilitate the interaction between devices that produce heat (such as [[Generator unit|generators]], [[Fuel chamber|fuel chambers]], and [[Mounted weapons|mounted weapons]]) and the devices that can dissipate heat (such as [[Radiator|radiators]]). Heatsinks can be used to effectively bypass the transfer limitation for heat that exists between devices and radiators, as their thermal transfer limitation is significantly higher.

Usage
Heatsinks facilitate the interaction between devices that produce heat (such as generators, fuel chambers, and mounted weapons) and the devices that can dissipate heat (such as radiators). Heatsinks can be used to effectively bypass the transfer limitation for heat that exists between devices and radiators, as their thermal transfer limitation is significantly higher. Despite their significant visual differences, each heatsink style has the same effective mass and thermal properties.
