Yes Kevin, technically correct. I should have expounded on my use of 'heat exchangers' when talking about engine cooling specifically.

The following pictures are what I would consider my 'normal' application in cooling... this is actually what I talked CarlC into doing (I'm really good at spending his hard earned money.) I typically like to package both engine cooling and oil cooling for the numerous and mutual benefits. I have used this set up to cool and control the cooling of 850-1000HP use in places like the desert southwest (Phoenix Az and Las Vegas Nv, etc.)

This utilizes a 13 plate heat exchanger for engine oil cooling... however, it works almost too good... and I would recommend the use of a oil thermostat as to not over cool the engine oil.
