What is the difference between exchanger and interchanger?

[Zauberberg]

Probably - none. Most often it refers only to a different service location (topology) within the system, e.g. like having a precondenser, intercondenser, and an aftercondenser in a 3-stage vacuum system. If we knew something more about particular application you are referring to, we might be able to give you more complete answer.

As an example, look at: http://www.graham-mf...bVacuum/211.PDF

Both your terms are lacking and technically incorrect.

You should always state WHAT you are exchanging (or interchanging). There are heat, ion, money, and many other "exchangers". We presume you mean HEAT EXCHANGER, but we could be wrong.

A heat exchanger is a generic term; an interchanger could be a variety of heat transfer operations - all depending on what your specific process or application is.
