View source for Liquid-to-Liquid Heat Exchanger (Isidore)

A '''Liquid-to-Liquid Heat Exchanger''' is a device that allows heat to be transferred between two liquid loops without the liquids ever mixing. In [[Project: Flamenco]], this is typically a compact "brazed plate" exchanger.

This component is critical for isolating "dirty" or "technical" water loops from "clean" or "biological" ones.

=== Key Applications ===
* '''Stirling Engine (Hot Side):''' Transfers heat from the "technical" server coolant loop to the "clean" water loop that heats the [[Stirling Engine Array (Isidore)|Stirling engine]].
* '''Aquaponics Cooling:''' Transfers heat from the "biological" [[Aquaponics System (Maria)|aquaponics system]] water into the "clean" [[Central Thermal Battery (Isidore)|cistern]] water loop.
* '''Aquaponics Heating:''' Transfers heat from the "technical" server coolant loop into the "biological" [[Aquaponics System (Maria)|aquaponics system]] water.

*(Note: The server coolant loop is considered "technical" or "dirty" because it contains biocides and anti-corrosion additives that are toxic to fish and plants.)*
