heat exchanger

A heat exchanger facilitates effective heat transfer between two distinct mediums, either via direct contact or through a solid barrier to prevent mixing. Applications span across diverse industries including space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical processing, petrochemical facilities, oil refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. A well-known example is the heat exchanger in an internal combustion engine where coolant circulates through radiator coils while air flows past them, cooling the coolant and heating the incoming air.
