Liquid Valve (1g/s) + Aquatuner = Water 10 Kg/s + Aquatuner?

Yes, the moved heat scales with the tuned liquid and the amount of liquid.

Fun fact you can't cool super coolant to freezing in an aquatuner. Once it get's low enough it can't go any further. So if you are say using an aquatuner for a heat source and don't dispose of the cooling so the super coolant bottoms out, the aquatuner will stop producing heat even though it's running. This could cause your petroleum boiler to mess up contaminate your heat exhanger with crude and force you to spend 20 cycles cleaning the mess up.... Happened to a friend of mine.

It will process whatever packet you throw at it, consume 1200J, reduce its temp by 14K (min >0K), and output the packet's mass*spec heat*14K into the vicinity.

not if the outlet is backed up.  then it only processes 10 kg packets once it outlet is free, and same for power

I'm pretty sure it will be happy to process a 100g packet after being freed also.

no it does not do this.  it processes only 10 kg packets when the outlet flow is less than 10 kg.s and not open vent discharge

Sure it will, just put 100g of a different element in between.

I think the difference in viewpoints is that @chemie has the valve after the aquatuner, on the output side, while @nakomaru has the valve on the input side, in front of the aquatuner.

It does not matter as long as the outlet pipes is "backed up" meaning full of packets and any flow less than 10 kg/s.  You do not need a valve.

Example might be running wheat or berries where the flow is continuous, less than 10 kg/s, and the pipe is "full".  The aquatuners only run when there is a 10 kg packet space on its outlet.

You need a valve if the other end is a vent to prevent open flow, so then it needs to be on outlet.
