heat exchanger
A device used to exchange heat from one medium to another. Radiators, condensers, and evaporators are all examples of heat exchangers. Heat always moves from the object or medium having the greatest level of heat energy to a medium or object having a lower level.
Air-to-air, air-to-liquid, liquid-to-air, and liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers are commonly used with aircraft engines.
