exchanger

Device transferring between

An exchanger is a device or system that transfers something between two mediums—most commonly heat.

A heat exchanger moves thermal energy between fluids without mixing them: The radiator acts as a heat exchanger between coolant and air.

In finance, an exchanger facilitates currency or asset swaps.

The word also applies to anyone who exchanges things professionally.
