Abstract
Heat exchangers are devices for transferring heat from a hot flowing stream to a cold flowing stream. There are three broad types of exchangers:
-
the recuperator, or the through-the-wall nonstoring exchanger;
-
the direct-contact nonstoring exchanger;
-
the regenerator, accumulator, or heat storage exchanger.
