Help in changing steam production rate of heat exchangers

The optimal ratio of the steam boilers and steam engines are now a neat 1:2, thanks to the 0.15 update. However, the newly added heat exchangers seem to produce a maximum of 103.448 units of steam per second, while the steam turbines consume 60 units of steam.
I wanted to modify this in a way that would produce clean optimal ratios; for instance, a production rate of 120 per second for 1:2, or 100 for 3:5, and so on. If the power output of the steam turbines could be changed from the initial 5.8MW, the amount of energy that is eventually produced from a number and certain arrangement of reactors could be made equal as before; 5MW from each turbine for the 120 per second exchangers, 6MW from each turbine for the 100 per second exchangers, etc.
However, unlike normal recipes and fluid recipes, which I could locate in the "prototypes" folder and edit with ease, I could not find the files that would determine the statistics of both the heat exchangers and steam turbines. Am I looking at the wrong place? If so, where can I go to? Or is it simply hard coded into the game and thus beyond my meddling?
