In this class, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated:
"Heat exchange" means the heating or cooling of a fluid or fluent solid by direct or indirect contact with a heated or cooled fluid or fluent solid.
"Heat transfer" means the heating or cooling of a fluid or fluent solid by direct contact with a heated or cooled surface or body.
