Yes, heat exchangers are used.
Water tube heat exchanger swimming pool, Coaxial heat exchanger for laser and stainless steel exchangers are some of the heat exchangers used as super-heaters.
Fouling factor is essentially used in determining the efficiency of the heat exchangers. Fouling factor is obtained from service (product) on either side of tubes and material of tubes. It basically represents corrosion of heat exchangers tubes which affects efficiency of heat transfer.
Heat exchangers can be used in many things like space heaters, refrigeration and air conditioning. Heat exchangers by themselves are likely not a significant fire hazard. Space heaters can create a threat of fire if not watched and used properly.
Heat exchangers are a system which transfers heat from one place to another. This is an efficient way of heating that is used so that no one place over exceeds the maximum temperature.
The company Exergy LLC manufactures heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are items such as parts for boilers, engines and furnaces. Some of their products are used by Shell.
blocked lines and wear of lines are the most important problems of heat exchangers.

heat duty refers to the heat exchangers. heat duty of the heat exchangers is defined as the amount of heat transfered of 1kg of hot fluid to the 1 kg of cold fluid in one hour.
One uses tubes, the other uses hollow, flat conduits.
shell and tube heat exchangers are used mostly in the chemical processing industry for heating, cooling, condensing, and evaporating highly corrosive liquids and gases. AMETEK Fluoropolymer Product shell and tube heat exchanger was the first heat exchanger developed using fluoropolymer tubes and the patented honeycomb tube to tube sheet joint which has been successfully used for over 55 years. Sulfuric Acid is the chemical most used with Ametek Fpp heat exchangers. The process of making sulfuric acid can vary, but any company dealing with the manufacturing process has a high potential for the use of a fluoropolymer heat exchanger in their process. Other Acids commonly requiring fluoropolymer heat exchangers are Hydrochloric, Nitric and Hydrofluoric Acids. Another chemical manufacturing industry fluoropolymer heat exchangers are used in is the Chlor-Alkali manufacturing process.
There are three main types of heat exchangers on the market today. Type 1, Brazed Heat Exchangers, are a collection of plates, vacuum brazed together with no gaskets. They have a high turbulent flow, which reduces particle build up and the need for maintenance. They are good for water based systems such as radient floor heating and swimming pools. Type 2, Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, are copper U-tubes in a carbon shell. They are rugged, and are frequently used when the materials being cooled are corrosive. Type 3, Shell and Coil Heat Exchangers, are made of circular layers of corrugated tubing and are installed vertically. They are very efficient and are appropriate where space is at a premium. There are many different types of heat exchangers. The types of heat exchangers are: shell and tube, plate, regenerative, adiabatic wheel, plate fin, fluid, waste, dynamic scraped surface and phase-change.
