    This document contains results from experiments on a heat exchanger with variations in configuration, water temperatures, and flow rates. It presents temperature and efficiency data for parallel and counter flow arrangements. It also examines the effects of increasing or decreasing the hot water temperature, and the hot water flow rate, on heat transfer rates and efficiency. Key findings include higher efficiency for counter flow (91.5%) versus parallel (78.5%) and improved efficiency at higher temperatures but lower efficiency at higher flow rates.
