    The document discusses compact heat exchangers. Compact heat exchangers are defined as having a surface area to volume ratio (β) greater than 700m2/m3. Examples given include car radiators and human lungs. Key characteristics are large extended surfaces, small hydraulic diameter, and usually involving gas flow. Common types are tubular, fin-plate, tube-fin, plate-frame, and regenerative heat exchangers. Plate-frame heat exchangers are discussed in detail, including construction, materials, flow arrangement, advantages, applications and limitations.
