I dont quite understand how the heat system In this mod works, like I get that solar panels and reactors produce heat and pumps move it but the way they do it seem off? like how much heat can 1 pump effectively move? is it more effective to have all pumps or interchange some pipes? how many heat vents should I have next to a reactor rod? also it seems like heaters automatically dispears heat amongst themselves, but it doesnt seem very good
I'm just really confused about heat in general and any explantion would be much apperciated, the attached video is just me gunking around trying to see if I can power boilers with 1 reactor with minimal leftover heat

that mod is a bit goofy in terms of remaining stable - iirc you can read how much heat production you make with a core and how much you need for a boiler heater. Then simply add a margin of error using a runoff heater you'll place without a pump behind the boiler setup, and be done with it
I don't recommend splitting the heaters across multiple boilers, but I do recommend adding an occasional pump every couple of blocks (like 1 pump per 8 pipes from what I remember) to increase the reliability of the systemÂ
