Key Points

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids.
The fluids can be single or two-phase and, depending on the exchanger type, may be separated or indirect contact.
Devices involving energy sources such as nuclear fuel pins or fired heaters are not normally regarded as heat exchangers although many of the principles involved in their design are the same.
Classification of Heat Exchangers by Flow Configuration:-
- There are four basic flow configurations:
  - Counter Flow
  - Concurrent Flow
  - Crossflow
  - Hybrids such as Cross Counterflow and Multi-Pass Flow
