 Used to lower the temperature inside a room.
 It will flash an error if certain things are not present like:
-* [[Pipe Radiator]]
+* Coolant gas pipe
 * Atmosphere in the room you're trying to cool (minimum is around 5-8kpa, not sure exactly, will flash an error if too low)
-* gasses in the coolant pipe (At least 12.5 kpa)
+* Gasses in the coolant pipe (At least 12.5 kpa)
 Game update 0.2.1783.8193 Changed the wall cooler where the efficiency drops as the temperature difference becomes too large. If the waste network becomes 100 degrees warmer than input, efficiency begins to drop until zero at 200 degrees. This is highlighted on the graph on the right.

-Place the Wall Cooler and run some pipes to the place you want to vent the heat. Place a few Pipe radiators on the pipe, fill it with whatever gasmixture you want and start the machine, it will slowly lower the temperature.
+Place the Wall Cooler and run some pipes to the place you want to store or vent the heat. Fill the coolant pipe with enough gas and start the machine, it will slowly lower the rooms temperature by transfering its heat to the coolant pipe.

 * The wall cooler works by removing 1000 Joules of energy/tick (2000J/s) from the atmosphere and adding it into its pipe.
