Additionally one can extrapolate that the Chambers act as tanks, most likely holding the [[Plasma Coolant]]. In a manner similar to a heat exchanger, the Pre-Stage Chillers and Chambers most likely act as pre-coolers to reduce the workload of the Main chillers and chambers. The coolant most likely resides in the cooling system, perhaps stored in the Chambers, prior to being run through the warp coils and returned to the Pre Stage chiller and Chambers. After they have left the Pre-Stage, they then flow to the Main Stage Chiller and Chambers before returning to the coils for heat absorption. | Additionally one can extrapolate that the Chambers act as tanks, most likely holding the [[Plasma Coolant]].
