Heat exchangers are used extensively in fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants, gas turbines, heating and air-conditioning, refrigeration, and the chemical industry. The devices are given different names when they serve a special purpose. Thus boilers, evaporators, superheaters, condensers, and coolers may all be considered heat exchangers.
Heat exchangers are used in technological processes in the oil refining, petrochemical, chemical, nuclear power, refrigeration, gas and other industries.
In solar energy installations the heat exchanger is used to transfer the heat captured through solar radiation to another working fluid. Solar thermal energy can be used both to supply thermal energy in a heating system and in solar thermal power plants.
Other examples of common heat exchangers are the car radiator and the heater for domestic heating.
