Difference between the Heat Exchanger and Condenser?

Heat Exchanger:

1.  The heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer heat from one place to another. 
2. The heat exchanger is the part of a refrigerator that separates hot and cold air, while the condenser cools it down.
3. The heat exchanger is a device that uses the difference in temperature between two different fluids to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another.
4. The heat exchanger separates the hot and cold liquids in an evaporator. The condenser is a device that cools liquid from one or more heat exchangers.
5. Heat exchangers do not require the use of refrigerants, which means they are environmentally friendly. 
6. A heat exchanger can be used in any location where the temperature difference between two fluids is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
7. Heat exchangers use the same amount of energy as a condenser, but they need more time for installation because they are larger in size and require more components.
8. Heat exchangers are typically used in industrial settings where large amounts of energy are required for heating or cooling systems. 
9. Heat exchangers can handle higher pressures.
10. The advantages of a heat exchanger over a condenser are that the former is more cost-effective and is less prone to damage. The main reason for this is that it does not have moving parts, unlike a condenser.

Condenser:

1. Condenser transfers heat from a cool area to a hot area.
2. Condensers are usually found in HVAC applications such as air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
3. A condenser is an apparatus that cools a fluid by evaporating and condensing it.
4. A condenser is a device that changes the phase of fluid from liquid to gas.
5. Condensers are generally more efficient than heat exchangers because they transfer all the heat in one direction (as opposed to two). 
6. Condensers are often smaller and more compact than conventional systems. 
7. Condensers require less maintenance than a conventional system.
8. Condensers require less energy to operate than Heat exchangers. 
9. Condensers are more durable and reliable because the design is more precise. 
10. Less installation time is required with condensers due to their smaller size and simpler configuration.

There are two types of heat exchangers: 

Crossflow and Counterflow.

Cross-flow devices have air going through the tubes whereas, counter-flow devices have liquid flowing through the tubes.
