| Description
|
A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air.

| Economics
|
In many applications economic;
|
| Technology Development Level
|
Well established regional use;
|
| Required Maintenance Technical Level
|
Low: Technology to be maintained through its life cycle requires less common tools and/or training is required for maintenance;
|
| Required Infrastructure for Deployment
|
The technology is developed and available in the market. Still there is a huge potential for (low cost) applications in agriculture;
|
| Required Resources during manufacture
|
Metal;
|
| Required Resources during operation
|
None; Heat exchangers are passiv components;
|
Deployment
Level
|
Worldwide;
