Multi-stream heat exchangers

Multi-stream heat exchangers are devices that transfer heat efficiently between multiple fluids flowing through separate channels within a single unit. They enable simultaneous heating or cooling of different streams, often with minimal mixing, by directing each fluid through its own passage. This design improves energy efficiency, saves space, and reduces equipment costs compared to using multiple separate heat exchangers. Commonly used in chemical, power, and HVAC industries, they optimize thermal processes by maximizing heat transfer while maintaining the independence of each fluid stream.
