Heat Exangers Heat exangers are deves tat faltate te exange of eat between two fluds tat are at dfferent teperatures wle keepng te fro xng wt ea oter Heat exangers are oonly used n prate n a wde range of applatons, fro eatng and ar ondtonng systes n a ouseold, to eal proessng and power produton n large plants
