Abstract
A condensing heat exchanger to exchange heat from a hot flow to a cold flow includes a hot flow side to receive the hot flow, the hot flow side including a hot flow inlet disposed on a hot flow inlet side and a hot flow outlet disposed on a hot flow outlet side, wherein a hot flow side cross section decreases from the hot flow inlet side to the hot flow outlet side, a cold flow side to receive the cold flow, and an interface disposed between the hot flow side and the cold flow side to allow thermal communication therebetween.
