Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Domestic heat exchangers
Dutch term or phrase: scheidingswisselaar
There are several phrases using 'wisselaar' in a manual for the installation and operation of a weather-guided domestic appliance extracting ground heat, including 'scheidingswisselaar' and 'platenwisselaar' (not a record changer!). Exchanger comes to mind as in heat exchanger, or even alternator, but are there better phrases than separation exchanger or plate type heat excahanger?
Many thanks.

isolating heat exchanger
Explanation:
Although IMO any heat exchanger isolates the two fluid circuits involved.

The other term should be a separate question, but with plate exchanger you can't go wrong ;-)
