A heat exchanger is a component that allows the transfer of heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to another fluid. Reasons for heat transfer include the following:
- To heat a cooler fluid by means of a hotter fluid
- To reduce the temperature of hot fluid by means of a cooler fluid
- To boil a liquid by means of a hotter fluid
- To condense a gaseous fluid by means of a cooler fluid
- To boil a liquid while condensing a hotter gaseous fluid
