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.
• Aquaponics Cooling: Transfers heat from the "biological" aquaponics system water into the "clean" cistern water loop.
• Aquaponics Heating: Transfers heat from the "technical" server coolant loop into the "biological" 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.)*
