I think this mod needs some sort of condensation tower/building, to turn steam back into water when handling coolant etc.

The cooling tower has a recipes to turn steam into purified water.

Oh I didn't notice that. But it comes out as purified water and not water? I want to recycle it for reuse in the cooling tower to cool down coolant.

I see where this has a basis in fact/reality. In a closed system, you wouldn't lose the impurities. I have not checked on the recipe, but it would feel natural for there to be some type of solid waste if getting purified water; whereas, if you were running it as a closed system, you wouldn't need to dispose of the waste??
