Shopping for a new heat exchanger? You have come to the right place. Here you can learn about the different types of exchangers and then order one by calling one of the many reviewed manufacturers and retailers of heat exchangers.
Heat exchangers provide a simple purpose that is controlling a system or substance’s temperature by adding or removing thermal energy. While there are many different sizes, levels of sophistication, and types of heat exchangers, they all use a thermally conducting element generally in the form of a tube or plate—to separate two fluids, such that one can transfer thermal energy to the other.

heating systems use a heat exchanger to transfer combustion - gas heat
to water or air, which is circulated through the house. Power plants use
locally available water or ambient air in quite large heat exchangers to
condense steam from the turbines. Many industrial applications use small
heat exchangers to create or maintain a required temperature.
In industry, heat exchangers do many tasks, ranging from cooling lasers to establishing a controlled sample temperature prior to chromatography. Anyone who wants to use a heat exchanger deals with a basic challenge: fully defining the problem to be solved, which requires an understanding of the thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids. Such knowledge can be in addition to some simple calculations to define a specific heat-transfer problem and select a suitable heat exchanger.
A heat exchanger is a device used in some
radiant heat systems to separate dissimilar fluids, such as anti-freeze
and water. Heat exchangers will direct heat from one fluid to another,
without allowing direct contact between the fluid. Heat exchanger
systems use an efficient heat exchanger to separate the potable domestic
water supply from the floor's anti-freeze mixture.
