[15.40] Some boilers and heat exchangers not outputing steam

Some fully fueled and watered boilers and heat exchangers output no steam, or output 1 unit of steam.
In the case of boilers, this is accompanied by a large increase in rate of consumption of coal. In the above picture, none of the boilers in the first two columns from the left work, nor does the top boiler in the 3rd column (mouse over screen shown).
Expected: steam output 200 at 165C
Actual: steam ouput not shown or 1 at 165C

In the case of heat exchangers:
Expected: steam output of 200 at 500C
Actual: steam output of 1.7 units of steam at 500C
In the above picture, the heat exchanger in the third row, 4rth column isn't working, nor are first row columns 7 & 8 and all of row 5 except the one in the first column.
The coldest heat pipe temperature is 857C (feeding 4rth and 5th row, first column). The lowest water supply is 177 units (5th row first column).

I have tried removing and replacing pipes and boiler/heat exchangers, and ensuring the electrical demand exceeds the output. I also tried fewer boilers per pipe (as in the first row), thinking I had exceeded the flow capacity of a pipe, but it doesn't appear to help.

That graphic does not show you how much it is outputting, just how much is in the fluid box. If you use more than is produced this is the result.
If you still think there is something wrong, post your save and describe what exactly you consider the bug.

OK I understand. Thank you. Should I delete the post?
