Compact Heat Exchanger

A compact heat exchanger is a device designed to transfer heat efficiently between two fluids in a smaller, space-saving unit. It achieves high heat transfer rates through its increased surface area, often using thin plates or tubes packed closely together. This design allows for effective temperature exchange in industries like HVAC, power plants, and refrigeration, while occupying less space and often using less material. The compact structure improves energy efficiency and reduces costs, making it ideal for applications where space is limited but effective heat transfer is required.
