I've marked out in that rather eye-catching colour a collection of hot loop pipes. All of these pipes seem to be connected to the cold loop somehow: I put cold nitrogen in the cold loop and plasma in the hot, but the highlighted section of pipes began to fill with cold nitrogen over time.
The big problem with this is that pump in the upper-right will make sure cold loop gas is constantly pumped into the hot loop. In my case, this ruined the engine, because the hot loop became filled with nitrogen. The best-case scenario is that the effectiveness of the engine is greatly decreased by the cold loop being constantly piped into the hot. I could not find a way to prevent this.
In addition, the engine has no purge valves. Those are very useful and make the above bug much worse.
Edit: Unrelatedly, the pod beacon outside the bridge is just generically named "warp beacon."
that's definitely because the pipes there overlap.
