I wonder if you could do this yourself with a heat exchange (like from McMaster-Carr).
I've read before that if you run the loops "backwards", such that the two loops of the heat exchanger are flowing in opposite directions, that you can increase the rate of heat transfer by maximizing the difference in temperature.
Has anybody done this before?

- cypherpunks01 4y agoThis is called a counter-flow heat exchanger or countercurrent exchange, it's very commonly used in industrial applications, for both gas or fluid flow. This setup is very efficient at heat transfer, and can counter-intuitively produce a higher output temperature than the counterflow's input temperature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countercurrent_exchange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countercurrent_exchange
