lämpöerottimen
A lämpöerotin is a Finnish term that translates to heat exchanger in English. It is a device designed to efficiently transfer thermal energy between two or more fluids (liquids, vapors, or gases) that are at different temperatures. These fluids are typically kept separate by a solid wall, preventing them from mixing directly. Heat exchangers are fundamental components in a wide range of industrial processes and everyday applications due to their role in energy conservation and process control.
The basic principle of operation for a lämpöerotin involves bringing the hot and cold fluids into close
